As a Senior Frontend Developer, you will help my client design and build more awesome products for their clients!

About you

We're looking for someone with strong front‐end skills who is familiar with a modern component framework like React or Vue, with experience in a back‐end framework like NextJS (preferably) or Express. More important than specific technical skills though is that you're a strong problem solver who loves to learn — we're not experts in everything and we don't expect you to be either.

You know great architecture and design when you see it and you know when something isn't up to par. Details matter to you, and if something is off — you will go to the end of the universe to figure out why. We just care about what you can do and how you do it. We're all just makers and tinkerers, so as long as you love to build awesome stuff you'll fit right in.

The Role:

My client is looking for someone to work closely with their product owners to help shape and build the future of their Payments ecosystem.  

You'd spend most of your time developing new exciting projects, for example:

• Building a new backoffice applications from scratch
• Taking part in new payment provider integrations

You will be working on:

• Architecting and developing new features
• Prototyping and evaluating potential implementations
• Meeting business stakeholders to understand the problems they wish to address

You would spend a lot of time programming, brainstorming on challenging problems and prototyping different ideas. You wouldn't be just churning through tickets in the backlog — you'd be helping to design entirely new products, figuring out what exactly we're even building and why.

While being a somewhat big company, they are split into small teams which means that even though they each have their own areas of expertise, they all wear many hats. They’re looking for a programmer, but you'd also help out with things like:

• Writing and improving the documentation for the products and tools they make
• Helping customer support answer customer questions
• Maintaining the ownership of their product
• Assist in troubleshooting production incidents
• Take part in OOH on-call application support rota

If you've ever maintained a large project, working with my client carries a lot of the same responsibilities.
