Senior Frontend Engineer, Pensions Team – React

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United Kingdom.

📋 Description

• Develop and sustain customer-facing pension workflows utilizing React and TypeScript.

• Take full ownership of features, from refinement to production, deploying web alongside backend in the same sprint.

• Collaborate with backend engineers and designers to establish API contracts, states, and error handling.

• Create intricate, multi-step forms for account creation, transfers, and declarations.

• Write unit and component tests, ensuring safe releases behind feature flags.

• Monitor live features and promptly resolve any issues that arise.

• Work within a large, enduring codebase while adhering to the documented frontend architecture.

• Utilize AI coding tools (Claude Code, Codex) in your daily tasks and evaluate their outputs.

• Establish frontend review and testing practices within the team.

• Assist in onboarding an additional frontend engineer.

• Collaborate with Product, Design, QA, Operations, and the wider frontend community.

• Manage the frontend aspects of a pension administrator migration, including new account-opening processes, updated legal documentation, and in-app modifications for existing customers.

⛳️ Requirements

• At least 2+ years of commercial experience with React and TypeScript as primary tools, working within a large, long-lived codebase.

• Strong sense of ownership: clarify ambiguous requirements prior to starting and ensure features are delivered to production.

• Effective communication skills with both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.

• Proficiency in English (B2+) and fluent in Russian.

• Hands-on backend experience, whether in commercial or personal projects (nice to have).
