YOUR ROLE & TEAM

We’re looking for a hands-on Staff Software Engineer (Frontend) to help shape the direction of our frontend architecture, tooling, and practices across multiple squads. Youʼll operate as a senior technical expert, collaborating with design and engineering leaders to elevate the frontend craft across CreditorWatch.
In this role your influence will span multiple teams. You’ll drive cross-cutting frontend initiatives, set coding standards, lead strategic discussions, and champion frontend quality across the board.
This is an opportunity for someone who loves building robust, user-friendly web applications, has strong Angular and React experience, and wants to lead by doing.
This role reports directly to the Engineering Manager and is a full-time opportunity offering hybrid working conditions out of our Sydney CBD Office.

SOME OF YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES INCLUDE AND ARE NOT LIMITED TO:

• Hands-on development: Write, review, and maintain high-quality, scalable and secure frontend code primarily in Angular and React.
• Frontend strategy & standards: Define and advocate for coding best practices, architecture guidelines, testing strategies, and maintainability principles across teams.
• Technical leadership: Be a thought leader across squads, influencing design and implementation decisions, particularly in frontend-heavy initiatives.
• Frontend guild facilitation: Organise and lead the frontend guild, creating space for engineers to collaborate on shared challenges, demos, and learning.
• Design collaboration: Work closely with the Head of Design to align implementation with design vision, bridge gaps between design and development, and plan cross-team frontend efforts.
• Storybook & UI consistency: Maintain and evolve our component libraries using tools like Storybook, ensuring reusability, accessibility, and design fidelity.
• Security champion: Advocate security and privacy best practices across frontend applications, from secure handling of sensitive data to safe usage of third-party dependencies.
• Tech mentorship: Guide engineers through informal mentoring, code reviews, and pairing in writing secure, maintainable and well-tested frontend codebase. Elevate engineering thinking through high-quality feedback and modelling best practices.
• Department-wide engagement: Present technical decisions, demos, or initiatives to the broader engineering department and advocate for frontend improvements company-wide.
• Proactive improvement: Identify and drive improvements to tooling, architecture, and developer experience before being asked.
• Polyglot mindset: Comfortably pick up and evaluate new tools, libraries, or frameworks where appropriate. Understand when and why a new technology is (or isnʼt) a good fit.
