The Role

The Front-End Web Developer is responsible for building and maintaining high-quality, performant web applications across BSQ Group's growing portfolio of websites and products. This is a hands-on, mid-level role for a developer who is fluent in modern front-end fundamentals and confident translating design into clean, working code.

Working closely with designers and the wider engineering team, you'll turn Figma designs into pixel-accurate, responsive interfaces, and help build single page applications that are fast, accessible, and easy to maintain.

Key Responsibilities

• Follow established coding standards and best practices for readability and maintainability

Design Implementation

• Translate Figma designs into accurate, high-quality front-end code
• Work closely with designers to ensure visual and interaction details are faithfully implemented
• Flag design or UX issues early and suggest practical, technically sound solutions

Collaboration & Delivery

• Work alongside other developers, designers, and product stakeholders to deliver features end-to-end
• Participate in code reviews, giving and receiving constructive feedback
• Communicate progress, blockers, and technical considerations clearly to the wider team

Quality & Maintenance

• Test and debug applications to ensure a smooth, reliable user experience
• Support ongoing maintenance, bug fixes, and incremental improvements across live sites and applications
• Contribute to improving front-end tooling, workflows, and documentation over time

What We Are Looking For

• Solid, hands-on experience as a Front End Web Developer, building real web applications
• Strong working knowledge of HTML, JavaScript, and Node.js
• Proven experience implementing Figma (or similar) designs into accurate, production-ready code
• Experience building single page applications (SPAs)
• Good understanding of responsive design and cross-browser compatibility
• Comfortable working collaboratively with designers, developers, and non-technical stakeholders
• A methodical, detail-oriented approach to writing and testing code
• Good communication skills and a proactive, ownership-driven attitude

What We Offer

• Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package
• Hybrid working model
• Real opportunities for progression as the business scales
• The chance to influence both customer experience and product development
• A culture that values ownership, impact, and continuous learning
