This role is part of our Global Studios team. We create emotive yet conversion-focused ideas, products and campaigns at scale and speed. Our specialty is hyper-personalised, digital communications that change perceptions, shape new behaviours, and shift market share for our clients.

We’re looking for a Senior Frontend Developer to join a team delivering high-profile digital experiences for one of the biggest technology brands in the world.

This role sits at the intersection of design and engineering. We’re looking for someone who can take a static design and turn it into a polished, high-performance interactive experience with exceptional attention to motion, responsiveness, and detail.

You’ll work closely with designers and engineers to build robust, reusable frontend components and experiences using Angular, TypeScript, and modern CSS. Alongside strong technical capability, this role requires someone with a genuine appreciation for UX, UI, animation, and craft — someone who cares as much about how an experience feels as how it is built.

You’ll operate within a structured development environment with established patterns, review processes, and quality standards. The ideal candidate is proactive, highly detail-oriented, comfortable challenging inconsistencies, and confident bridging the gap between design intent and technical implementation.

• →Follow established coding standards, patterns, and development best practices consistently
• →Contribute to frontend architecture decisions and implementation approaches
• →Guide and support other developers through code reviews and technical collaboration
• →Work within structured development and code review workflows, maintaining strong attention to detail throughout delivery
• →Proactively identify implementation issues, inconsistencies, and opportunities for improvement

• Strong eye for UX, UI, layout, interaction, and motion design
• Experience creating scripted animations and fluid interactive experiences
• Ability to balance creative ambition with technical feasibility and performance
• Comfortable collaborating closely with design teams and contributing to UX discussions

• High attention to detail in both visual implementation and code quality
• Experience working within structured engineering environments and established development patterns
• Comfortable with code review workflows, automated checks, linting, and validation pipelines
• Ability to proactively identify issues, propose improvements, and drive solutions forward

• Comfortable operating between design and engineering teams
• Clear and direct communicator with a collaborative mindset
• Experience mentoring or supporting other developers is a plus

• Strong portfolio demonstrating hands-on contribution to high-quality interactive frontend experiences
• Clear examples of polished UI implementation, animation, and component-driven development
• Demonstrated ownership of implemented features, systems, or frontend experiences

• Experience with 3D technologies such as Three.js
