Lead Frontend Developer – Leeds (Hybrid Remote) - £65k

Ada Meher are commencing on a search for one of their fastest-growing clients in Leeds who are looking for a Lead Frontend Developer to join them working with the development team in their Leeds office to improve project planning and delivery, specifically with testing and TDD in mind. The right candidate will have ownership over scoping, resource planning, delivery, and quality of specific projects, all based around modern technology in the Vue/Nuxt stack.

The successful applicant will have the client’s Frontend development squad reporting into them but will also have the opportunity to be involved in project delivery at a high level, across the Backend squad in tandem with the Tech Director and Head of Projects.

The company operates on a hybrid remote policy, asking employees to come into their central office space 1-2 times a month with flexibility to work the rest of the time remotely. The culture of the business is very much one of autonomy, allowing staff to deliver work on a schedule which suits them – as long as the work gets done and to the right quality there is no issue.

Using a modern stack, including a Vue/Nuxt.js based frontend, Laravel APIs, microservices, SOLID principles, and AWS deployments, the company aims to drive towards full TDD. They take an active interest in their employee’s development, offering a budget set aside for pertinent courses and certifications. They are looking for the Lead Developer to have a Frontend bias, but the resources for upskilling in other areas will be available for candidates if they wish.

Requirements

• Demonstrable technical history in Typescript (Vue/Nuxt)
• Experience with Unit Testing or TDD
• Experience working in an Agile team
• Experience scoping and estimating work
• Experience mentoring more junior staff / code reviews
• Strong communication skills
• Knowledge of AWS would be ideal
