- Remote within New Zealand with occasional travel to HQ in Auckland
- Build a polished, scalable product using React, TypeScript and modern UI practices
- Work directly with founders and shape the product from day one
About the Role
We’re on the lookout for a Senior Frontend Developer to join a SaaS company where user experience and technical craftsmanship go hand in hand. You'll collaborate closely with the founding team, designers, and backend engineers to deliver clean, responsive and scalable front-end solutions that users love.
This is not your typical frontend role. From day one, you'll help shape the product and own features end-to-end from design through to delivery. You’ll thrive in a role where polish, performance, and thoughtful UI/UX make all the difference.
Tech Stack & Key Areas of Focus
- React, JavaScript, TypeScript – Take ownership of features and create elegant, efficient UI.
- Component-driven UI – Build scalable, reusable components using Storybook and Figma designs.
- Quality & testing – Write clean, maintainable code with tools like Cypress and Chromatic.
- Data interaction – Work with APIs and JSON formats to connect the frontend to the backend.
- Collaborate on UI/UX strategy and implement seamless, modern interfaces
- Develop and maintain reusable components that support rapid development and consistency
- Deliver robust, well-tested code and participate in thoughtful peer reviews
- Ensure performance and accessibility are top of mind in all releases
- Engage in product discussions and influence direction with a user-first mindset
- Proven experience in React and TypeScript development at a senior level
- Strong portfolio of polished, user-centric UI/UX work (or ability to provide references / portfolio)
- Deep understanding of front-end architecture, component libraries, and design systems
- Confidence working independently in a remote setting while collaborating cross-functionally
- Familiarity with testing frameworks and writing testable code (Cypress, Chromatic preferred)
- You’ll be building a product where your work will immediately impact users
- Join a collaborative team that values thoughtful solutions, not just quick fixes
- Enjoy full autonomy, trust, and flexibility in how and where you work
- Be taken through the product vision, market outlook and customer journey so you can build with context and purpose
