Lead Frontend Engineer

Public sector agencies, utilities and large health systems license our asset management platform under multi-year contracts. Product, engineering and support teams work out of offices in London, England and two nearshore delivery centers.

The role:

Brambleloft is looking for a Lead Frontend Engineer to join a small, steady team. 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. We hire in the US through an employer of record, so this is a regular full-time job with local payroll and statutory benefits. Working hours overlap with UK business hours. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.

Your responsibilities:

• Migrate legacy jQuery or AngularJS pages to the current stack
• Write unit tests with Jest and React Testing Library, and end-to-end tests with Playwright or Cypress
• Pair with backend engineers on API contracts before work starts
• Maintain and extend the shared component library in Storybook
• Fix accessibility issues and test with VoiceOver and NVDA against WCAG 2.1 AA
• Track down cross-browser bugs in Safari, Chrome, Firefox and mobile browsers
• Set up and tune build tooling (Vite, webpack, ESLint, Prettier)

Qualifications:

• 7+ years building production web applications
• Strong JavaScript and TypeScript, including async code and the DOM
• Solid HTML and CSS, including Flexbox, Grid and responsive layouts
• Experience with a styling approach such as Tailwind, CSS Modules or styled-components
• Familiarity with accessibility standards and semantic markup
• Able to explain frontend tradeoffs to designers and product managers
• Deep working knowledge of React (hooks, context, rendering behavior)

$205,000-$245,000 per year

What you get:

• Co-working space stipend
• Public holidays observed per your country
• Monthly internet allowance
• 20 days paid time off
• Paid parental leave
• Home office setup budget

We are an equal opportunity employer. If you need an accommodation during the application process, let us know.
