Senior Front-End Developer (Nuxt / Vue)

We’re looking for a Senior Front-End Developer with strong experience building modern web applications, ideally using Nuxt / Vue (or close equivalents), who wants to take ownership of the user-facing experience and grow towards a Technical Lead role over time.

This is a hands-on role with influence, well suited to someone who enjoys shaping how front-end systems are designed, built, and evolved, not just implementing UI tasks.

If you’ve worked in agency, consultancy, or contracting environments, you’ll likely feel at home here: fast pace, varied problems, autonomy, and direct exposure to product and stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain user-facing features that support real customer outcomes
• Own and evolve our Nuxt/Vue front-end, focusing on performance, maintainability, and developer experience
• Build accessible, responsive, and intuitive interfaces that work across devices
• Collaborate closely with back-end engineers to design clean, well-documented APIs
• Maintain strong automated testing and contribute to a reliable CI/CD pipeline
• Use modern tooling, including AI where appropriate, to reduce friction and improve quality, such as:
  • Rapid prototyping and UI iteration
  • Test generation and coverage improvements
  • Refactoring and component clean-up
  • Debugging support and PR review assistance
  • Keeping front-end documentation accurate and useful
• Help establish repeatable, pragmatic ways of working that improve delivery speed without cutting corners
• Lead technical discovery for front-end initiatives (approach, risks, trade-offs, estimates)
• Propose and introduce patterns and best practices for component design, state management, and performance
• Review PRs with a coaching mindset and consistently raise front-end quality
• Support and mentor junior developers as the team grows
• Become a trusted go-to person for front-end decisions and guidance
• Work closely with product, design, and commercial stakeholders to shape requirements into great user experiences
• Communicate progress, constraints, and trade-offs clearly and early
• Challenge assumptions constructively to ensure we build the right thing in the right way

• 3 years’ experience building modern front-end applications
• Strong experience with Vue.js, ideally Nuxt, or equivalent frameworks (React with Next.js, SvelteKit, etc.)
• Solid understanding of modern JavaScript and TypeScript
• Strong grasp of HTML, CSS, and responsive design principles
• Experience building accessible interfaces (WCAG awareness)
• Proven track record of shipping reliable production front-end code
• Comfortable working with APIs and asynchronous data flows
• Clear communicator who enjoys working with non-technical stakeholders

• Experience with Nuxt SSR, SSG, or hybrid rendering
• Familiarity with front-end testing frameworks (e2e and component testing)
• Experience with design systems or component libraries
• Exposure to performance optimisation and monitoring
• Prior agency, consultancy, or contractor experience

• You take ownership of key areas of the front end and ship improvements confidently
• You improve the overall experience, not just features, but performance, accessibility, and consistency
• You help evolve front-end patterns, tooling, and standards
• You use automation and AI pragmatically to improve speed and quality
• You’re trusted by peers and stakeholders for your judgement and clarity
• You naturally begin leading technical discovery and mentoring others
