Frontend Engineer
New Yesterday
Overview
Join to apply for the Frontend Engineer role at Bright Network.
The Role
As a mid-level Frontend Engineer, you'll join our Tech & Product Team (currently a team of 15) as part of our B2C squad, delivering beautiful, fast and accessible experiences for our student members. We're looking for someone who's excited not just by writing React components, but by crafting elegant, modern, and consistent interfaces. You'll notice when a modal feels clunky, when a form isn't accessible, or when a hover state could feel more refined and you'll have the instinct to fix it.
Our frontend stack is based on React, TypeScript and Tailwind CSS, whilst experimenting with modern UI patterns across our products. You'll work across both our UK and German platforms - the latter is a growing site with huge potential and plenty of greenfield opportunities. There's a lot of new product work in the pipeline, and you'll have a real hand in defining how it looks and feels.
What you can expect in your first six months
Collaborate closely with engineers, designers and product managers to bring bold ideas to life through elegant, user-centric frontends
Take ownership of the frontend quality across the UK and German platforms, improving consistency, accessibility, and visual fidelity across pages and components
Contribute new frontend components and UX improvements that feel native to our design system, even when they're net-new ideas
Help define and enforce frontend best practices, particularly in styling, layout, responsiveness, and accessibility
Stay up to date with emerging frontend techniques and libraries, bringing inspiration and experimentation into the team
Qualifications
You're a frontend engineer with strong hands-on experience using React, TypeScript, and CSS to build polished user interfaces
You have a sharp eye for detail and care deeply about visual quality - you enjoy the craft of creating interfaces that are beautiful and usable
You're confident working closely with designers, and can comfortably fill in the gaps between high-level designs and the final product
You've worked on production-grade applications, and understand how to build frontend systems that scale
You have experience with modern tooling such as Vite, Webpack, PostCSS, etc., but you focus more on outcomes than configuration
Team culture and benefits
