We are looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to design, build, and maintain modern, high-performance web applications integrated with the ServiceNow platform. You will lead the frontend development of applications using React, Vite, and components based off shadcn/radix-UI, ensuring seamless integration with backend ServiceNow workflows and APIs.

This is a hands-on technical role where you’ll collaborate closely with UX designers, ServiceNow engineers, and product stakeholders to create intuitive and scalable user interfaces that drive operational efficiency and excellent user experiences.

• UI/UX Implementation: Collaborate with design teams to translate wireframes and mock-ups into responsive, production-ready interfaces with pixel-perfect precision.
• Performance Optimisation: Optimize load times, rendering performance, and frontend build pipelines using Vite and modern React features (Suspense, server components, etc.).
• Component Design System: Develop and maintain a consistent UI component library based on custom and shadcn/radix-UI components and Tailwind v4, ensuring a cohesive design language across applications.
• Code Quality & Best Practices: Write clean, testable code following modern JavaScript, TypeScript and React patterns. Participate in code reviews, testing, and continuous integration.
• Collaboration & Mentorship: Work closely with cross-functional teams and mentor junior developers to improve overall frontend engineering practices.
