Summary

We are looking for a UK-based highly experienced Front End Senior Software Engineer with 5+ years of professional experience in front end engineering to join our team working exclusively on our Department for Education project. This role would suit a person with a background in web development, a passion for accessibility and user experience, and the ability to work hand-in-hand with key stakeholders. The role will be for a 2 year fixed term contract with the opportunity for extension.

Please note that as part of the requirements for this role, the successful candidate will be required to undergo a BPSS check. We recognise the importance of supporting people with a criminal record back into the workplace, so if you have a spent conviction this should not stop you applying, or if you honestly declare any unspent convictions we can then discuss this with the Department for Education who may decide the risk is acceptable under their specific criteria.

The Role:

As an experienced Senior Front End Software Engineer, you will be responsible for producing high-quality code whilst collaborating closely with the project's product owner, other front end engineers and our UX team to understand a concept and turn visual designs into code whilst considering accessibility, user interactions and responsive design.

You will work closely with the wider development team to integrate your code with backend systems. As part of your day-to-day, you will need to communicate your ideas and findings effectively and be expected to participate in code reviews to help ensure quality. As part of this role’s responsibilities, you may support other team members to grow their experience and skill set.

We’d also love for you to be interested in following industry trends, best practices, emerging technologies and tools. We’d like you to participate in the evolution of the company’s software development culture and improve the way we do things.
