Senior Frontend Engineer - Remote

The role

We are hiring a Senior Frontend Engineer to build the product surfaces that housing providers, contractors, and residents use every day. This is a fully remote position; we currently have remote engineers based in the UK, Germany, Turkey, Poland, Italy, Spain, and Portugal. You will report to a Team Lead, a hands-on engineer who still writes code and has a small number of engineers reporting to them and work alongside product managers, designers, backend engineers, and data analysts.

Our frontend is built on TypeScript, React, React Router, TanStack Query, MaterialUI and BaseUI, against an increasingly service-oriented backend built in Django REST Framework and PostgreSQL. The codebase is large but clean, because we put real weight on design patterns, readability, testability, maintainability, and extendability.

What you need

Requirements

Expert-level TypeScript and modern JavaScript, with deep command of React and the patterns around it, including data fetching, routing, and component libraries.
Strong software engineering fundamentals, including design patterns, testing, debugging, and code that stays readable and extendable at scale.
Sound grasp of UI, UX and accessibility considerations, with the judgement to improve a design before building it rather than implement it exactly as drawn.
Demonstrable experience diagnosing and fixing page load, rendering, and other frontend performance problems.
Working knowledge of frontend observability with Sentry, Grafana logs, or New Relic, and of CI/CD pipelines such as GitHub Actions or ArgoCD.
Practical awareness of common frontend security risks, including XSS and CSRF, and how to design against them.
Strong working fluency with agentic coding tools and spec-driven development workflows, including specification writing, code generation, test generation, and critical review.
Clear communication, with the ability to articulate technical concepts and trade-offs in plain English.
High ambition and a strong sense of urgency, with the drive to deliver an ambitious product roadmap at pace using AI, and a positive, can-do attitude.

Experience and qualifications

8+ years of professional software engineering experience, including 8+ years of commercial React and TypeScript.
Experience shipping and operating production frontends for customer-facing SaaS products, including monitoring, incident response, and performance improvement.
Experience working in a large, long-lived codebase where design patterns, testability, and maintainability genuinely matter.
Experience consuming and shaping REST APIs in a service-oriented architecture, ideally backed by Django REST Framework or an equivalent.
Experience working in cross-functional teams with product managers and designers on shared customer outcomes, not only technical delivery.
Experience using AI coding tools in a professional software delivery workflow, ideally within a spec-driven development framework.
Based in a country where we currently employ or engage remote engineers — the UK, Germany, Turkey, Poland, Italy, Spain, or Portugal — with the right to work there.
Availability to work with substantial overlap with UK working hours.
