Requirements

What you’ll need

Have at least 4 years of experience as a professional front-end engineer
Will have experience with HTML5, CSS, JavaScript and know React very well
Demonstrate experience building accessible websites and secure web applications that consume RESTful APIs and perform well.
Love coding in front-end technologies - from navigating REST APIs to tweaking that last bit of CSS to get the design system just right.
Believe in clean coding, simple solutions, automated testing and continuous deployment.
Like to take ownership of features from the original idea through to live.
Think (like us) that a small number of empowered developers is the right way to deliver software.
HTML/CSS/JS (and increasingly TypeScript, too) with React used pretty much everywhere
Associated libraries and frameworks like Next.JS, Gatsby, Redux, React Query and more
Design system management (Storybooks are fairly common, little bit of CSS-in-JS, too)
Testing tools like Jest and React Testing Library for the most part
Experience of all of these is not required, but some familiarity wouldn’t hurt.
