React Software Engineer: Senior

As a Senior Software Engineer (React) at Syspro, you will design, build, and take ownership of high-quality, scalable, and user-focused web applications and components using React and modern front-end technologies. You will drive front-end architecture and engineering standards, solve complex technical problems, and support the growth of less experienced engineers, working closely with Product, UX/UI, Quality Engineering, Architecture, and back-end teams to deliver secure, performant, and accessible enterprise software experiences.
This is a hands-on engineering role with clear expectations for technical leadership, system design input, and team enablement.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, test, and maintain high-quality, scalable, and maintainable web applications and components using React, TypeScript, and modern front-end technologies.
• Take end-to-end ownership of complex work: analysis, design, implementation, testing, deployment readiness, and operational support.
• Build reusable, modular React components and front-end libraries using functional components, hooks, component composition, and appropriate state-management approaches.
• Translate product requirements and UX designs into robust, production-quality solutions, working closely with UX/UI to implement designs accurately and consistently.
• Integrate front-end applications with REST APIs and back-end services, including asynchronous JavaScript, JSON data handling, and client-side routing.
• Contribute to the evolution of front-end architecture, frameworks, and engineering standards, including component design, state management, routing, and client-side data management.
• Lead design reviews and architecture discussions across teams, and guide others in applying strong design principles (e.g., component composition, reusability, separation of concerns).
• Set and uphold front-end coding standards and engineering practices within the team.
• Promote reuse and consistency through shared components, design systems, and common engineering patterns; identify and address technical debt while balancing delivery priorities with long-term maintainability.
• Help define and reinforce a strong testing culture, including unit, component, integration, and end-to-end automated tests.
• Investigate defects to identify root causes rather than only symptoms, and raise the quality bar through reviews, coaching, and pragmatic improvements to the Definition of Done.
• Optimise front-end performance (load time, rendering, bundle size) using techniques such as code splitting, lazy loading, caching, and memoisation.
• Build responsive applications that provide a consistent experience across supported browsers, devices, and screen sizes, developed in line with recognised accessibility (WCAG) standards.
• Apply secure front-end development practices, understand common web application vulnerabilities, and ensure secure handling of authentication, tokens, application state, and sensitive information.
• Use Azure DevOps effectively for delivery transparency and discipline (work items, code reviews, pipelines, traceability), and work confidently with Git-based source control, including branching, pull requests, and merge strategies.
• Contribute to healthy repository structure and CI/CD practices; help the team improve deployment and release readiness over time.
• Factor SaaS delivery considerations (multi-tenancy, scalability, operability) into front-end architecture and design decisions.
• Contribute to modernising legacy user interfaces and workflows into modern, componentised React experiences, working with backend teams where legacy systems are involved.
• Collaborate with Product, UX/UI, Architecture, Quality, and back-end engineering teams to deliver secure, performant, and intuitive enterprise software experiences.
• Influence product and roadmap direction through strong technical input and clear articulation of trade-offs.
• Shape solution requirements and contribute to product design discussions with a customer-value mindset.
• Coach and mentor engineers across the team, supporting juniors with practical guidance and feedback.
• Drive team-wide improvements (ways of working, quality practices, technical patterns, shared standards).
• Surface technical risks, dependencies, and impediments early and manage them effectively.
• Lead by example in delivery quality, engineering discipline, and technical initiatives.
• Provide transparent delivery execution and reporting through disciplined use of Azure DevOps.

Requirements

Minimum Level of Education

• Bachelor's degree in relevant field (e.g. Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems etc.)

Beneficial Qualifications
Relevant certifications

Minimum Experience

• 6 - 9 years of software development experience, with demonstrated ownership of complex systems
• Strong professional experience in React and TypeScript, including component architecture, React Hooks, state management, and performance optimisation
• Proven experience leading technical work: design input, complex debugging across components, and delivery ownership
• Solid experience integrating front-end applications with REST APIs and back-end services, including asynchronous JavaScript, JSON data handling, and client-side routing
• Practical experience with modern front-end build and package-management tooling (e.g., npm, Vite, or Webpack), Git-based source control, and browser developer tools for debugging
• Practical experience working in an agile delivery environment and using Azure DevOps (or equivalent), with the ability to mentor others in good usage

Beneficial Experience

• Experience in enterprise software, ERP, SaaS, or complex multi-team product environments
• Familiarity with back-end technologies (e.g., C#/.NET) and API design, to support effective collaboration with back-end engineering teams
• Experience with automated testing frameworks (Jest, Vitest, React Testing Library) and browser-based end-to-end testing (Playwright, Cypress, or similar)
  • Experience with design systems, component libraries (e.g., Storybook), and modern styling approaches (CSS Modules, Sass, or CSS-in-JS)
  • Experience with micro-frontend architectures, WebSockets or real-time technologies, and OAuth 2.0/OpenID Connect
  • Experience with cloud platforms, containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes), and application observability/telemetry
• Security and compliance patterns relevant to enterprise software

Special Skills and Knowledge

• Strong understanding of engineering quality: coding standards, reviews, and testing practices
• Strong communication skills and the ability to influence peers and stakeholders constructively
• Ownership mindset: responsible for product quality and delivery outcomes
• Strong problem-solving and debugging capability, with a focus on identifying root causes rather than symptoms
• Pragmatic technical leadership: makes good decisions, explains trade-offs clearly, and drives alignment
• Team-first collaborator: resolves team-level technical and collaboration issues constructively
• Coaching orientation: actively develops others and raises the team standard
• Customer and product focus: understands how front-end engineering decisions affect usability, performance, and the value delivered to end users
