Your Role 

As a Full Stack Engineer with a Front-End core (React), you’ll own the user experience and front-end architecture while keeping a strong end-to-end product mindset (APIs, data, performance, security, and delivery).

• Build modern, accessible user interfaces with React + TypeScript, following strong architecture practices, reusable component design, and clean hook patterns.

• Define and evolve scalable front-end architecture: conventions, modularization, design systems, code quality (linting/formatting), and a pragmatic testing strategy.

• Implement authentication and authorization flows integrated with IdentityServer, leveraging OAuth2/JWT, with secure session/token handling.

• Consume REST APIs (and GraphQL where applicable), ensuring robust error handling, state management, loading patterns, and resilient UX.

• Ensure excellent responsive design and user experience across devices and resolutions, with attention to accessibility (a11y) and UI consistency.

• Optimize performance (Core Web Vitals, bundle size, caching, rendering strategies, profiling) using Next.js (SSR/SSG) where relevant.

• Implement unit and component tests with Jest and React Testing Library (and e2e with Cypress/Playwright when applicable), ensuring quality and maintainability.

• Collaborate closely with Backend and UX/Product teams to ensure functional and technical alignment, delivering iteratively with a focus on impact.

• Contribute to the backend when needed (often Node.js/TypeScript or an equivalent stack): endpoints, integrations, data flows, reliability, and performance.

• Raise the bar on front-end security: Content Security Policy (CSP), safe token handling, authorization-aware UI patterns, and general hardening practices.

Who You Are

• 7+ years of React experience building production web products.

• Strong command of TypeScript, component design, hooks, patterns, performance, and maintainable front-end architecture.

• Solid experience with state management, including Context API, plus complex UI states, forms, and validations.

• Strong UX/UI engineering instincts: accessibility, visual consistency, attention to detail, and responsive-first design.

• Hands-on experience integrating REST APIs and working with OpenAPI/Swagger; resilience-first approach (errors, latency, edge cases).

• Practical testing skills with Jest and React Testing Library (ideally also e2e).

• Experience with Next.js (SSR/SSG), modern tooling (Vite), and UI frameworks like Tailwind CSS or Material UI.

• Familiarity with edge/CDN delivery (e.g., Azure Front Door) and caching fundamentals.

• Strong front-end security practices: CSP, secure token handling, and awareness of common risks (XSS/CSRF, etc.).

• Professional English for global collaboration (documentation, ceremonies, stakeholders).

AI-Native Engineering (Core Expectation) 

• Use Generative AI coding tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor) as a first-class engineering assistant for: 

• Code scaffolding and refactoring

• Code generation and optimisation

• Test-cases and documentation generation

• Build applications through AI-driven development practices, including: 

• AI-assisted debugging and troubleshooting

• Intelligent code completion and pattern recognition

• Automated documentation generation

• Apply prompt engineering best practices for reliable, repeatable engineering outcomes.

• Validate GenAI output (determinism checks, guardrails, fallback logic).
