• Mentor & Level Up:

  Provide mentorship to junior and mid-level engineers, share your knowledge, and help foster a culture of frontend excellence within the team.

• Drive Improvement:

• Experience with modern frontend tooling (e.g., Webpack, Vite, Babel, ESLint, Prettier, Lerna/Nx for monorepos).
• A solid understanding of web performance optimisation techniques and accessibility best practices (WCAG, ARIA).
• Experience with Node.js, AWS and MongoDB is a plus.
