Frontend Developer

Your skills can change lives and whole industries, but many get bogged down in developing stuff that only changes their company's profits. Don't be a silly sausage and waste your talent. Instead, work for a 1000-person actuarial consultancy helping the government and over half the UK’s top 100 companies to answer the big questions across industries like health, football, pensions and insurance. Upon joining their 14-person web team, your first project will be a complete rewrite of an energy trading and trend prediction platform using the latest Vue version, which will help the UK and the world plot a greener future and achieve the ambitious Paris Agreement target of net zero by 2050, which over 140 countries set in 2016. After that, you'll work across multiple teams and industries on a mix of greenfield projects with many new ideas and tools, including intelligently incorporating AI into all their current tools and tech. They always use the latest technology, currently Vue 3.0 / Typescript, but they’ll move to Vue as soon as possible. You’ll avoid strict processes and micromanagement; of course, there are broad strategic goals and engineering standards, but you’ll enjoy freedom in solving problems; you’ll help shape the priorities and can build your career in many directions. You'll enjoy a 35-hour working week and a benefits package reflecting the level of fairness and care this company is known for, one of the many reasons most of their people have been there for 5-25 years. Lastly, inclusivity is more than just a PR soundbite. For example, they achieved 13 DEI awards in the last five years and their LGBT, women's, multicultural and well-being networks tackle significant issues and unite their people. Salary – Up to £55,000 Discretionary, performance-related bonus. Headline Benefits – Up to 10% pension, Bupa Private Healthcare, 26 days plus bank holidays, enhanced maternity, paternity, adoption, shared parental leave and other flexible benefits and schemes. Work Location – Hybrid – Twice a week in Central London. Visa Sponsorship – Not available HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL NEED: The role will suit an experienced junior or mid-level frontend developer with TypeScript experience; they use Vue 3.0, but experience with React, Angular or any other modern frontend framework is fine too. You’ve worked on fairly complex applications. You like to be hands-on and do quality work, and you want to progress to the senior level. Bonus points if you’ve used Azure SQL, Cosmos DB, Azure DevOps, NUnit, MSTest, Playwright, Jest and other Azure services like Functions, App Service or Blob Storage. (But don’t worry if not) HOW TO APPLY: Either apply here or search for Simon Monaghan on LinkedIn; contact details are at the top of my profile page. Don't worry if your CV is not up to date.
