Principal Front End Developer
£85,000 - 85,000
Friar Street 30-31, Manchester + Remote
£85,000 - 85,000
Requirements
Must:
We are looking for a Principal Front End Developer with deep experience in React and TypeScript, particularly in mature and complex product environments. You should have a proven track record of influencing architecture, standards, and long-term direction. We need someone who has experience mentoring both junior and senior engineers, alongside exposure to automated testing tools such as Playwright. Familiarity with cloud-based environments like AWS and working within CI/CD pipelines to deliver production-ready software is essential.
Responsibilities
In your role as our senior front end authority, you will work closely with other principals, tech leads, and cross-functional teams. Key responsibilities include leading the architectural and front end direction across several products, engaging in hands-on development using React, TypeScript, and various modern front end tools. You will be tasked with improving a large and evolving front end estate that has inconsistent legacy patterns, breaking down major refactors and tech debt into manageable pieces, and serving as the go-to person for complex front end problem-solving. Additionally, you will mentor engineers at different levels and support high standards in testing, automation, and release processes, all while helping bring consistency and clarity to our wider front end approach.
Description
This position is tailored for someone who enjoys enhancing real product systems rather than solely working on greenfield projects. We offer a supportive benefits package, including a competitive salary of up to £85,000, a 7 percent matched pension contribution, private healthcare and wellbeing support, a life assurance scheme, and 25 days of holiday plus bank holidays—along with the option to buy or sell up to five days. You’ll also receive a day off for your birthday and have access to a company bonus scheme, as well as learning and development support. Our working pattern is almost fully remote, with a requirement to attend one on-site day per month in Manchester.
