* Support production systems and participate in an on-call rota during peak trading periods.

Key Requirements

* Extensive commercial experience with React and TypeScript.

* Micro Frontends.
* Service-oriented architecture.
* Microsoft Azure.
* Web accessibility and inclusive design.
* Agile delivery environments.

What's on Offer

* Salary of £63,825 - £72,618 .
* Annual bonus of 10-12% .
* Relocation support may be available.
* Opportunity to influence the technical direction of a high-traffic platform serving millions of customers.
* Modern technology stack with a collaborative engineering culture focused on continuous improvement.
