Senior Next.js Developer

About the role
You'll lead our Next.js frontend team. You'll own frontend architecture and guide a team of developers. You'll work closely with the Backend team to make sure integrations are well designed and delivered independently.

What you'll do

• Own frontend architecture, standards and technical decisions for our Next.js applications.
• Build scalable, performant and accessible web features.
• Work with the Backend team on API design, data flows and system requirements.
• Lead code reviews, mentor the frontend team, and assign and guide technical work with the TPM.
• Drive improvements in performance, SEO, Core Web Vitals and developer experience.
• Work with Design to turn designs into polished, responsive interfaces.
• Take part in the senior on-call rotation, including international paging.

What we're looking for

• 6+ years of frontend development, with 3+ years of hands-on Next.js work.
• Expert knowledge of React, TypeScript and modern Next.js (App Router, server components, SSR/SSG/ISR).
• Strong grasp of frontend architecture, state management, caching and performance optimisation.
• Solid experience integrating REST/GraphQL APIs and handling authentication.
• Experience leading or mentoring frontend developers.
• Excellent communication skills. You should be able to work through API contracts and requirements clearly with backend and mobile teams.
• Experience working with AI tools for development, and a willingness to integrate AI into the SDLC

Note: Full-stack experience is a strong plus but not mandatory. A strong frontend specialist who works effectively with the Backend team is a great fit.

Nice to have

• Backend experience with Django.
• Experience with Vercel, CI/CD and frontend testing (for example Playwright or Jest).
• Familiarity with React Native.
• Familiarity with US front-end compliance requirements, such as WCAG2.2
