About the role

Why you would like it:

  • Permanent role with hybrid working in Auckland 
  • Own large features end-to-end across multiple front-end apps 
  • Work across a contemporary TypeScript stack: React, Next.js, Angular, Vite, TanStack 
  • Strong engineering culture focused on performance, testing, and clean UI
  • Mentor others and influence standards - without people management
The opportunity:

This is a senior front-end engineering role suited to someone who takes pride in building high-quality, user-facing experiences and enjoys true ownership of delivery.
You’ll work across a portfolio of web and mobile-hybrid applications, delivering meaningful features end-to-end. Alongside hands-on development, you’ll help lift engineering standards through performance optimisation, testing practices, and pragmatic technical leadership.
You’ll operate with a high level of autonomy, while working closely with product, design, QA, and backend teams. Strong communication is important, particularly when translating technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders.

Company profile:

A product-led organisation with a strong “people first” mindset and a practical approach to delivery. You’ll be part of a collaborative team that values simple solutions, continuous improvement, and knowledge sharing.

The role:
  • Build modern, responsive interfaces across portals, content platforms, and web/mobile applications
  • Work across TypeScript-based stacks including React, Next.js, and Angular
  • Contribute to front-end standards, patterns, and shared component libraries
  • Drive performance improvements (Core Web Vitals, lazy loading, SSR/SSG)
  • Strengthen testing practices across unit, integration, end-to-end, and visual testing
  • Support CI/CD quality through robust build, test, and release processes
  • Troubleshoot and resolve complex performance and production issues
  • Mentor developers through pairing, code reviews, and knowledge sharing
Your fit:
  • Strong commercial experience with TypeScript and modern front-end frameworks
  • Proven delivery experience with React (experience with TanStack tools beneficial)
  • Hands-on experience with Next.js, including SSR/SSG and SEO considerations
  • Experience working with Angular in production environments (NgRx exposure preferred)
  • Strong understanding of modern styling approaches (e.g. Tailwind, SCSS, component libraries)
  • Familiarity with modern build tooling (Vite, npm, yarn or pnpm)
  • A strong testing mindset and experience improving engineering quality
  • Solid understanding of performance, accessibility (WCAG), and responsive design
  • Clear, practical communication style
If you’re looking for a role where you can take ownership of front-end delivery while influencing quality and standards across a product suite, we’d be keen to hear from you.

Please note:
Applicants must hold valid working rights in New Zealand and be currently based here.
