  • Balance rapid MVP delivery with scalable, maintainable engineering practices

About you

  • 5+ years’ professional experience in front-end engineering
  • Strong experience with React and TypeScript in production environments
  • Hands-on experience with React, Next.js, TailwindCSS and component-based architectures
  • Solid understanding of state management, responsive design, and performance optimisation
  • Exposure to data visualisation tools such as D3.js, Recharts, or Mapbox
  • Comfortable working in a remote, distributed team with a high degree of autonomy

  • Salary up to £85,000
  • Fully remote, long-term role
  • High-impact position in a mission-driven sustainability startup
  • Opportunity to shape the front-end foundations of a scaling product
  • Work alongside experienced product, design, and engineering teams
