About the Role

We are looking for a Frontend Engineer to join a project team delivering web applications for a government tax agency. You will work closely with product managers, backend engineers, and UX designers to build intuitive, user-facing applications that support both internal operations and public-facing services.

This is an opportunity to contribute to meaningful public infrastructure — helping modernise legacy systems and raise the bar for digital services in the public sector.

Job Description

• Build and maintain responsive, performant web applications using React and TypeScript
• Translate UX wireframes and design specs into clean, accessible UI components
• Collaborate with backend engineers to integrate RESTful APIs and define data contracts
• Write unit and integration tests to maintain code quality and reliability
• Participate in code reviews, technical discussions, and sprint ceremonies
• Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks and cross-browser compatibility issues
• Contribute to and maintain a shared component library
• Work across multiple web application projects, adapting to different product contexts and user needs

Required

• 3+ years of frontend development experience
• Strong proficiency in TypeScript and React (hooks, context, component patterns)
• Solid understanding of HTML, CSS, and responsive design principles
• Experience consuming and integrating REST APIs
• Familiarity with modern tooling: Vite or Webpack, ESLint, Git
• Ability to write maintainable, well-tested code

Nice to Have

• Experience with state management libraries (Zustand, Redux Toolkit, or similar)
• Exposure to design systems or component libraries
• Prior work on web applications, enterprise systems, or government/public sector projects
• Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows

Working Environment

• Agile delivery team with regular sprints, retrospectives, and demos
• Close collaboration with government stakeholders and end users
• Projects operate under government security and compliance requirements — candidates must be comfortable working within a structured and regulated environment
