Profile and reduce bundle size, Core Web Vitals and time to interactive. Build UI features in React and TypeScript from Figma designs. Work with designers to adjust interactions when something doesn't hold up in the browser. Fix accessibility issues and test with VoiceOver and NVDA against WCAG 2.1 AA.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

2+ years building production web applications. Experience with a styling approach such as Tailwind, CSS Modules or styled-components. A good eye for spacing, alignment and small visual details. Able to explain frontend tradeoffs to designers and product managers. Comfortable using browser dev tools to debug network, layout and performance issues. Familiarity with accessibility standards and semantic markup.

DESIRABLE:

Visual regression testing with Chromatic or Percy.

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS:

Workplace pension. 28 days annual leave including bank holidays. Cycle to work scheme.

ABOUT US:

We may close the vacancy early if we receive a high number of applications.
