Front End Developer - React - Remote

We run one of the larger SaaS platforms for commercial insurance carriers, processing millions of policy transactions a year. Hawkwright employs 2,500 people across engineering hubs in London and three other locations, building ERP software for mid-market manufacturers.

Role overview:

Hawkwright needs a frontend developer who cares about page load times, keyboard access and clean component APIs. Part of this job is rebuilding an older AngularJS front end in React. Some of that work is unglamorous migration, and we won't pretend otherwise. This role is fully remote within the UK. Flexible hours with a daily team call in the morning.

Main duties:

• Add analytics events and help product read the results.
• Work with designers to adjust interactions when something doesn't hold up in the browser.
• Build UI features in React and TypeScript from Figma designs.
• Track down cross-browser bugs in Safari, Chrome, Firefox and mobile browsers.
• Migrate legacy jQuery or AngularJS pages to the current stack.

Required qualifications:

• 2-4 years building production web applications.
• Familiarity with accessibility standards and semantic markup.
• Experience with a styling approach such as Tailwind, CSS Modules or styled-components.
• Strong JavaScript and TypeScript, including async code and the DOM.
• Comfortable using browser dev tools to debug network, layout and performance issues.
• A good eye for spacing, alignment and small visual details.

Preferred:

• Some Node.js backend work.
• Figma, including Dev Mode.
• Experience building or maintaining a design system.
• Internationalization (i18n) and right-to-left layouts.

Rate: £425 - £525 day rate

What we offer:

• Flexible working hours.

We are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion, and we welcome applications from everyone.
