About this role

We are looking for Front End Software Engineers to join our Retail Media team. Retail Media are responsible for significant revenue generation within the company, and we’re expanding our engineering teams to meet our commercial & technology targets.

We’re hiring for multiple roles within our Retail Media space, with the main area of focus being on the integration of a third party platform that will power our on-site advertising initiative.

As a Frontend Software Engineer, you will help drive our architecture & technical deliveries by writing highly scalable and testable code, supporting your peers & challenging our teams to strive for excellence. We work closely with a large number of other teams, with inner-sourced development as our standard way of working. In our organisation ownership is one of our core engineering principles - we write it and we own it. Engineers are expected to take responsibility for their work, including being part of an on-call rota to ensure the reliability of the system that we’re building.

These are some of the key ingredients to the role:

Collaborate with your peers in planning, designing & developing scalable enterprise solutions using React as the main frontend framework (we also have some areas of Vue).
Collaborate with other cross functional engineers & engineering teams, as well as with key stakeholders to ensure we deliver exceptional user experiences.
Ensure our web applications are optimised for accessibility, performance & scalability.
Participate in our on-call rota, ensuring that we maintain operational excellence.

What will you bring to the table?

Strong frontend development experience, ideally with a background in writing React or Vue web applications.
Ideally, a strong understanding of JavaScript (ES6+), along with modern JS tooling/frameworks such as Next.js, Redux Saga & TypeScript.
Demonstrable experience of unit testing tools/frameworks (for example Jest, Cypress, Playwright, React Testing Library, etc).
An understanding of WCAG standards, CSS pre-processors, CSS frameworks & responsive UI development.
Able to work independently, taking responsibility for the technical delivery of key technical initiatives within a given workstream.
Eagerness to mentor (associate) software engineers.
A strong understanding of cloud service, preferably AWS, however experience with Azure or GCP is fine.
