Desirable

• As a Frontend Developer, you bring deep expertise in both React and Next.js, owning the UI layer of custom web applications across multiple client engagements
• You understand Next.js at depth: rendering model, caching layers, edge runtime, streaming, routing patterns, and how to make the right architectural trade-offs for each project
• Your bias is towards the craft of frontend engineering: component architecture, design systems, accessibility, performance, technical SEO, and delivering pixel-perfect interfaces from Figma designs
• A growing part of this role is building frontend experiences that interact with AI-powered features
• This is not a traditional manual coding role
• You orchestrate AI development tools, primarily Claude Code, through strategic prompting and rigorous review, taking full ownership of what ships
• Architect and build frontend applications using Next.js and React for enterprise clients across multiple engagements
• Build and document component libraries in Storybook, translating Figma design systems into reusable, accessible UI components
• Select and implement the appropriate CSS strategy (Tailwind, CSS-in-JS, CSS Modules, Sass) based on project requirements
• Build frontend experiences that interact with AI-powered features, including streaming LLM responses, AI-assisted workflows, and intelligent UI components
• Ensure WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility compliance through systematic testing and remediation
• Optimise frontend performance and technical SEO: Core Web Vitals, semantic HTML, structured data, metadata, rendering strategy selection, code splitting, and bundle optimisation
• Write and maintain automated tests: unit (Vitest/Jest), component (React Testing Library), and E2E (Playwright/Cypress)
• Integrate with backend APIs (REST/GraphQL) and implement frontend security best practices
• Orchestrate AI development tools (Claude Code) through strategic prompting, ensuring high-quality, production-ready output
