Summary
the pitchJoin our technology team as a Frontend Software Engineer, where you'll drive greenfield product development and build modern, scalable platforms for re-commerce. You'll work closely with front-end engineers, the Software Engineer in Test, and the Lead Frontend Engineer. This is a hands-on role where you'll own front-end craft and deliver features end to end, including Cloudflare Workers, APIs, and integrations. You'll also have the opportunity to shape technical direction and improve team workflows. This is a UK-based hybrid role with occasional travel.
Role
posted by company- We're looking for someone who asks why, not just what. You'll be curious about our customers and commercial goals, challenge assumptions constructively and help us spot valuable opportunities before they arrive as tickets
- Confidence extending into backend development through Cloudflare Workers or an equivalent edge or serverless platform, plus Node-based API services
- Sound architectural judgement, clear communication and the confidence to shape technical direction without formal authority
- Experience with a headless CMS such as Storyblok and third-party integrations, including forms and CRM or marketing platforms such as HubSpot
- A strong grasp of front-end craft, including UI and UX sensibility, responsive design, cross-browser compatibility, progressive enhancement and maintainable component architecture
- Strong, idiomatic React and confidence across the modern JavaScript and TypeScript ecosystem
- A proactive mindset: you investigate, ask why and propose better options rather than waiting for a ticket to define every next step
- Confidence with Git, Agile delivery and CI/CD pipelines such as GitHub Actions
- A habit of writing your own unit and component tests using Vitest, React Testing Library or similar, alongside effective collaboration with a dedicated quality function
- A working understanding of accessibility, Core Web Vitals and caching across the browser, CDN and edge as everyday engineering concerns
- Practical, regular use of AI coding assistants such as Claude Code, GitHub Copilot or Cursor, with good judgement about when to trust, verify or reject their output
- Substantial hands-on experience as a front-end-focused full-stack engineer, with a track record of senior-level ownership. This is often built over five or more years, but depth and judgement matter more than an exact number
- Experience partnering with a QA or SDET function on end-to-end, visual regression or accessibility automation
- Familiarity with performance testing tools such as Lighthouse or similar.
- A background in e-commerce or re-commerce platforms
- Exposure to agentic AI workflows or MCP-based tooling, such as Playwright MCP or Storyblok MCP
- Experience with internationalisation or localisation in front-end or edge applications
- No specific qualifications are required. We care about the work you've done, the judgement you bring and how you keep learning
- If you're excited about this role but don’t meet every requirement, we still encourage you to apply, your unique skills and experiences might be exactly what we need now or in the future
