Senior Frontend Developer | Fareham
Up to £75k Plus Package | Fast-Growth Tech Scale-Up | High Ownership Role
I’m supporting a rapidly scaling technology business that’s building innovative, globally distributed digital products- and they’re now looking for a Senior Frontend Developer to take full ownership of their web UI and lead a major modernisation of their frontend architecture.
This is an on-site role based in a newly refurbished, award-winning workspace in Fareham, Hampshire, joining a collaborative, open, and fast-paced environment where engineering has a direct and visible impact on product direction.
The Opportunity
You’ll be the technical lead for the frontend- guiding the transition from a vanilla TypeScript/SASS setup to a modern framework such as React, Vue, or Svelte. This is a chance to shape best practices, introduce new tooling, and own the future of the frontend codebase.
If you enjoy architecting great user experiences, influencing technical decisions, and building elegant, scalable interfaces, this one is for you.
What You’ll Be Doing
Leading the rewrite of the frontend using a modern JavaScript framework
Designing clean, reusable, scalable UI components
Collaborating closely with backend engineers (Python/Django) on API integrations
Maintaining and improving existing TypeScript/SASS code during the transition
Ensuring performance, accessibility, and reliability across the app
Contributing to architecture discussions, design reviews, and technical planning
Implementing robust testing across the frontend stack
What We’re Looking For
Strong experience building modern frontend applications with TypeScript
Expertise in React, Vue, Svelte, or a similar modern JS framework
Deep understanding of HTML5, CSS3/SASS, responsive design, and UI best practices
Experience integrating with REST APIs
Familiarity with testing frameworks (Jest, Vitest, Cypress, etc.)
Knowledge of modern build tools (Vite, Webpack, etc.)
Nice-to-have:
Exposure to Django-based systems
Experience with CI/CD for frontend workflows
Understanding of Dockerised development
Strong UX/UI sensibility
Why This Role Stands Out
Huge influence on frontend architecture and technology choices
A genuinely collaborative engineering culture
High autonomy and ownership over the product’s direction
Strong investment and a clear, exciting roadmap
Competitive package + great environment + career progression
