Role
Who you are
- We are looking for an engineer who is excited to embrace an agentic-first mindset—viewing AI-powered developer tools like Claude, Gemini, or Cursor not just as shortcuts, but as essential partners in accelerating the entire development lifecycle
- This is an opportunity for a developer who values high-quality React code and is eager to ensure every feature we ship is secure, scalable, and provides a seamless user experience
- React & Modern Frontend: Professional experience delivering web applications with React; you take pride in writing testable code and using effective documentation to help others
- AI Literacy: Experience using AI-powered tools as a daily copilot to solve technical challenges, paired with a commitment to the critical validation of all technical outputs
- Systematic Problem Solving: A proven ability to use a structured approach to diagnose and resolve issues within a frontend service or application
- Thoughtful Software Design: Experience designing functions and components that fit into a broader service architecture while maintaining clean abstractions
- SDLC Expertise: Familiarity with the full software development lifecycle, including Agile methodologies, CI/CD pipelines, and version control
- Security & Quality Focus: A strong understanding of modern web security and a habit of writing self-documenting code that stands the test of time
- Clear Communication: The ability to explain technical React concepts clearly and concisely, combined with active listening skills that foster team alignment
- Product Awareness: A solid understanding of the business context behind your work, with a natural drive to simplify designs for a better end-user experience
What the job involves
- As a Frontend Engineer on our team, you will play a vital role in building the responsive, accessible, and performant user interfaces that power our Data Productivity Cloud using React
- In this role, you will move beyond routine engineering to tackle high-visibility features within our Manchester-based hybrid team
- You will handle the natural evolution of projects with confidence, acting as a skilled validator of new technologies and AI-generated solutions
- React Feature Engineering: Develop and maintain production-ready UI components using React and TypeScript, prioritizing code that is clean, readable, and easily understood by your peers
- Agentic-First Development: Integrate GenAI tools into your daily workflow to automate repetitive tasks, significantly increasing your development velocity and focusing your energy on complex logic and architecture
- Quality Assurance & AI Validation: Act as a diligent "human-in-the-loop" by reviewing, refactoring, and perfecting AI-suggested code to ensure it aligns with our high standards for security and performance
- Incremental Delivery: Successfully break down larger epics into manageable tasks, ensuring a consistent flow of value through continuous integration
- Collaborative Design: Contribute to front-end architecture discussions, helping to define component patterns and state management strategies within your squad
- Operational Excellence: Use observability data to monitor your services and proactively suggest front-end performance enhancements
- Comprehensive Testing: Write robust unit and integration tests for React components, ensuring reliability across the "happy path" as well as complex edge cases
