Senior Frontend Engineer

• Instrument what you ship, so frontend work is observable in Datadog and carries correlation IDs through to the backend

• Write and review design docs, take part in our design doc review sessions, and run Knowledge Sharing Sessions for the wider engineering org

• Provide clear and concise communication and updates regarding feature development statuses to the team and stakeholders

• Adhere to internal coding standards, development processes, and design best practices, and help shape them as our engineering standards mature

• Ensure quality through thorough testing and peer review of your work and the work of cross-functional teams

• Take part in the Commercial dev support rota, roughly once every five weeks

• Embrace and demonstrate our values: humility, creativity, and independence

• Write and maintain clean, maintainable, and well-tested code for the future (and present) of the company’s platform

What You'll Bring

• 5+ years of experience as a Frontend Engineer (full-stack experience is a plus but not required)

• Expert-level proficiency with Vue 3, the Composition API, and TypeScript. Strong React or Svelte engineers who can make a credible case for picking up Vue 3 quickly will be considered

• Deep understanding of modern JavaScript, component-based architecture, and state management patterns such as Pinia

• Strong experience with modern CSS and SCSS, token-based styling, responsive design, and cross-browser compatibility

• Proven experience building and optimising scalable, high-performance UIs, including data-dense surfaces such as tables, dashboards, and forms with hard validation rules

• Real experience building or maintaining a shared component library or design system, including versioning, breaking changes, and consumer migration paths

• Strong experience working with RESTful APIs and integration patterns, and comfort reasoning about distributed backends and failure

• Solid understanding of frontend application security, including XSS, CSRF, content security policies, and secure client-side data handling

• Experience working with AWS, especially in contexts relevant to frontend (CloudFront, S3, Cognito, CodeArtifact)

• Experience with testing tools such as Vitest, Jest, Vue Test Utils, Cypress, or Playwright, and with Storybook for component development

What Would Make You Stand Out

• Experience in FinTech, Crypto, or other highly regulated environments, especially anything involving FX rates, trading, or money movement

• Exposure to African markets or other multi-currency, multi-regulator environments

• Knowledge of serverless architectures and how frontend apps interact with them

• Familiarity with performance monitoring and observability tools, particularly Datadog RUM, logs, and traces

• Understanding of web accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1 AA) and best practices

• Experience with CI/CD pipelines for frontend deployments, and with automated release tooling such as release-please and Conventional Commits

• Experience deprecating and migrating off a legacy frontend without freezing product delivery

• Practical use of AI coding tools in your daily workflow

Team

• Exude your upbeat energy and enthusiasm every day to motivate your team to be the best they can be in every aspect of what they do

• Celebrate the success of others by recognising the contributions of committed team members and their achievements

• Clear and accurate written and verbal communication is a must

• Collaborate with your peers to collectively think of innovative ideas that drive business through technology

• Build and utilise working relationships with internal business partners across the organisation and external business contacts

• Keen interest in learning and sharing current trends and advancements in modern web and back-end frameworks
