CW | Senior Frontend Engineer (AI-Assisted Development)

CreditorWatch is a leading Australian data and technology company that provides businesses with access to unique data and innovative products. By using our platform, our customers can confidently manage their commercial relationships, improve productivity and reduce financial risk.

As a commercial credit reporting bureau, we offer a complete suite of credit reporting products and data insights covering the entire customer lifecycle, from customer onboarding and credit decision automation to credit risk management and automated collections.

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. You’ll operate as a senior technical expert, collaborating with design 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 Angular and React experience, and wants to lead by doing. As a team, we are on a migration path from Angular to React and are exploring Module Federation to support a more modular architecture.

• Hands-on development: Write, review, and maintain high-quality, scalable, and secure frontend code primarily in Angular and React, with a strong focus on migrating from Angular to React and establishing Module Federation to enable a more modular frontend architecture.
• Frontend craft mastery: Define and advocate for coding best practices, architecture guidelines, testing strategies, and maintainability principles across teams.
• AI-assisted workflows: Act as an AI champion by driving the adoption of AI-assisted development workflows, leveraging tools like GitHub Copilot and AI integrations within Figma and Storybook to accelerate delivery and improve code quality.
• Design collaboration: Work closely with designers 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 for security and privacy best practices across frontend applications, from secure handling of sensitive data to safe usage of third-party dependencies.
• Technical mentorship: Guide engineers through informal mentoring, code reviews, and pairing in writing secure, maintainable, and well-tested frontend code. Elevate engineering thinking through high-quality feedback and modelling best practices.
• Polyglot mindset: Comfortably pick up and evaluate new tools, libraries, or frameworks where appropriate. Understand when and why a new technology is (or isn’t) a good fit.
• Provide continuous support and guidance to less senior colleagues through regular coaching activities and support them in fulfilling their personal development plans.

Must Haves:

• You’re a highly experienced frontend engineer with deep expertise in React, willing to work in Angular, ideally with experience contributing to framework migrations and/or Module Federation or similar micro-frontend approaches.
• You care deeply about shipping high-quality, user-friendly experiences that are robust and secure.
• You’ve worked on large-scale frontend applications and know how to balance pragmatism with scalability.
• You have a deep understanding of frontend security principles (e.g. XSS, CSRF, CSP, CORS, authentication flows) and how to mitigate them.
• You’re comfortable navigating ambiguous requirements and creating clarity for others.
• You regularly lead by example through clean, simple, and extensible code.
• You proactively explore and implement AI-assisted workflows (e.g. using GitHub Copilot, Figma AI, or Storybook automation) to enhance productivity and frontend innovation.
• You’ve built observable frontend systems - you know how to instrument code for metrics that matter, and how to use them to debug and optimise experiences.
• You’re a strategic thinker who can align frontend architecture with broader business and design goals.
• You proactively improve systems, not just code - advocating for better testing, observability, and deployment strategies.
• Strong English communication skills (both verbal & written), especially in the global software development environment.

Nice to Haves:

• Familiarity with accessibility standards and performance best practices.
• Experience working in a product-led company or SaaS environment.
• Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and observability tools (e.g. Datadog).
• Understanding of backend systems and APIs to help design more efficient frontend–backend contracts.
• Be happy to coach, mentor and train less senior colleagues.
