Job description

Lead Frontend Developer | React | TypeScript | Node.js

Leicester | Hybrid

£63,000 - £73,000+ 10-12% Bonus

VIQU has partnered with a leading UK retail organisation to recruit a Lead Frontend Developer to join a high-performing eCommerce engineering team. This is an opportunity to shape the technical direction of a customer-facing platform used by millions of users worldwide while remaining hands-on with modern frontend technologies. This is a technical leadership role rather than a people management position. You'll guide engineering standards, coordinate technical delivery, review code and mentor developers while continuing to contribute to the design and development of scalable frontend solutions.

Key Responsibilities of the Lead Frontend Developer:

  • Provide hands-on technical leadership across frontend development using React, TypeScript, Node.js and Material UI.
  • Coordinate engineering delivery and support the team in achieving the product roadmap.
  • Define and maintain engineering standards across architecture, code quality, testing, performance and accessibility.
  • Lead code reviews and technical design discussions for scalable, high-performance frontend solutions.
  • Mentor and support developers, helping to improve technical capability across the team.
  • Work closely with the Delivery Manager and key stakeholders to manage technical priorities, risks and dependencies.
  • Drive continuous improvement across engineering processes, tooling and development practices.
  • Support production systems and participate in an on-call rota during peak trading periods.

Key Requirements of the Lead Frontend Developer:

  • Extensive commercial experience developing applications using React and TypeScript.
  • Strong commercial experience with Node.js.
  • Previous experience providing technical leadership, including setting engineering standards, leading code reviews and coordinating technical delivery.
  • Strong understanding of frontend architecture, responsive design and UI performance optimisation.
  • Experience delivering complex customer-facing web applications whilst remaining hands-on with development.
  • Ability to influence both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Proven experience mentoring developers and improving engineering capability.
  • Desired experience: Next.js, Material UI, Micro Frontends, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), Microsoft Azure, web accessibility and inclusive design, Agile delivery environments, and large-scale eCommerce or other high-traffic public-facing platforms.
