Senior Front-End
Software Engineer

React / NextJS / TypeScript MACH Architecture 1B+ Downloads Remote-First

We're looking for a Senior Front-End Software Engineer to join our engineering team — helping build the technology behind apps used by 30M+ people every month across Health, Wellness, and Music.


The Role

This role goes beyond feature delivery. As a Senior Engineer, you'll influence technical direction, raise engineering standards, and help teams make better long-term decisions around performance, quality, and maintainability.

You'll act as a technical mentor for our wider front-end community and a key partner to our Design, Product, and Content teams — working on our MACH-based platform (Microservices, API-first, Cloud-Native, Headless), built entirely in-house.


Key Responsibilities

  • Drive front-end architecture decisions – including component design, state management, and application structure across the platform
  • Lead complex implementations – design and deliver front-end solutions using React, NextJS, and TypeScript at scale
  • Shape shared design systems – contribute to and influence front-end standards used across our app portfolio
  • Mentor and elevate engineers – provide technical leadership through code reviews, mentoring, and pairing
  • Partner cross-functionally – act as senior technical partner to Product, Design, and Content teams from discovery through to delivery
  • Own critical user journeys – ensure high standards of usability, accessibility, performance, and resilience across our apps
  • Build and evolve APIs – consume and contribute to GraphQL and REST APIs; contribute to Node.js backend services where required
  • Champion engineering best practices – code quality, testing strategy, performance optimisation, and security
  • Stay ahead of the curve – attend conferences, bring new ideas back, and apply front-end trends pragmatically
  • Identify and resolve risk – proactively surface technical constraints and opportunities across CI/CD, developer experience, and delivery flow

Qualifications

Essential

  • Significant commercial experience as a Senior Front-End or Full-Stack Engineer in large-scale production environments
  • Expert knowledge of JavaScript and TypeScript
  • Deep experience with React and NextJS (or equivalent modern front-end frameworks)
  • Strong understanding of web performance, accessibility (WCAG), and responsive design
  • Experience mentoring junior and mid-level engineers and supporting their technical growth
  • Strong communication skills and experience collaborating with Design, Product, and Content teams
  • Experience working across the full software development lifecycle including testing, CI/CD, and automation

Desirable

  • Experience working in MACH / composable architectures
  • Knowledge of Core Web Vitals and front-end performance monitoring
  • Familiarity with AWS or GCP and Infrastructure as Code
  • Event-driven or distributed system exposure
  • A strong DevOps mindset and comfort working in containerised environments

Why Join Us

  • Work on apps with 1B+ downloads and 30M+ monthly active users worldwide
  • Play a genuine senior role with real influence over technical direction and engineering culture
  • Remote-first — work from anywhere, an ABC Inc hub, or a coworking space we'll pay for
  • 18 days PTO, 3 personal days, health insurance, and sports reimbursement
  • 70% of professional development courses covered; 100% of English lessons
  • Attend conferences and stay at the forefront of mobile and front-end innovation

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
