The Role
We're looking for a Frontend Developer to work across our UK government clients, designing, building and improving user-centred, high-volume digital services.

Key Responsibilities
● Build and maintain user-centred frontends, design systems and component libraries using Angular, React and TypeScript, integrating with APIs and .NET Core microservices.
● Work with designers in Figma to turn designs into reusable components, and set the frontend standards others follow.
● Make sure services meet the Service Standard, WCAG 2.2 AA and secure-by-design principles, including auditing and fixing accessibility issues.
● Help delivery teams adopt the design system through clear documentation, guidance and hands-on support.
● Build and maintain automated build and test pipelines in Azure DevOps, including automated and DAST security testing.
● Work in blended, multi-supplier agile teams, contributing to service assessments, code reviews and coaching.
