Successful candidates will be working closely with cross-functional engineering teams across multiple divisions to help them to deliver awesome software that our customers love.

• 5+ years of React experience with a strong understanding of it's internals as well as a thorough knowledge of the wider javascript ecosystem.
• 10+ years of overall experience with at least 5+ years of experience deploying and maintaining applications on AWS. Although this role is mostly frontend, a good understanding of the entire stack is a must.
• You love identifying new technologies, patterns, and techniques and planning out how we can roll them out across teams to improve productivity, code quality and user experience across every division.
• An affinity for profiling and analysing code to identify areas for improvement as well as a solid understanding of browser internals.
