We're looking for a hands-on Senior Software Engineer (Frontend) to help shape the direction of our frontend architecture, tooling, and practices across multiple squads. Youʼll operate as a senior technical expert, collaborating with design and engineering to elevate the frontend craft at CreditorWatch.
In this role your influence will span a product group. You'll drive cross-cutting frontend initiatives, set coding standards, lead strategic discussions, and champion frontend quality across the board.
This is an opportunity for someone who loves building robust, user-friendly web applications, has strong React experience, and wants to lead by doing.
- Hands-on development: Write, review, and maintain high-quality, scalable and secure frontend code primarily in Angular and React.
- Frontend craft mastery: Define and advocate for coding best practices, architecture guidelines, testing strategies, and maintainability principles across teams.
- Design collaboration: Work closely with the designer to align implementation with design vision, bridge gaps between design and development, and plan frontend efforts.
- Storybook & UI consistency: Maintain and evolve our component libraries using tools like Storybook, ensuring reusability, accessibility, and design fidelity.
- Security champion: Advocate security and privacy best practices across frontend applications, from secure handling of sensitive data to safe usage of third-party dependencies.
- Tech mentorship: Guide engineers through informal mentoring, code reviews, and pairing in writing secure, maintainable and well-tested frontend codebase. Elevate engineering thinking through high-quality feedback and modelling best practices.
- Department-wide engagement: Present technical decisions, demos, or initiatives to the broader engineering department and advocate for frontend improvements company-wide.
- Proactive improvement: Identify and drive improvements to tooling, architecture, and developer experience before being asked.
- Polyglot mindset: Comfortably pick up and evaluate new tools, libraries, or frameworks where appropriate. Understand when and why a new technology is (or isnʼt) a good fit.
Must Haves

- You proactively improve systems, not just code – advocating for better testing, observability, and deployment strategies.
- Youʼre a strategic thinker who can align frontend architecture with broader business and design goals.
- Youʼre constantly learning and exploring how emerging frontend tech might be applied to real business problems.
- Good at English skills.
