We are seeking a Senior Frontend Engineer with 8–10 years of experience to lead client-facing product delivery for a energetic technology-driven organisation based in Melbourne. You will architect and deliver enterprise-grade user interfaces using React or Vue with TypeScript, integrating seamlessly with advanced backend AI systems and serverless cloud infrastructures. This is a critical technical leadership role within a high-performing team of ex-Google engineers, where your contribution will shape the frontend strategy and quality standards for a sophisticated, regulated sector client.
The engagement spans 3 to 6 months and requires a blend of remote flexibility and on-site presence in Melbourne's CBD for client workshops, architecture reviews, and milestone demonstrations. Success will be measured by the robustness, scalability, and performance of the frontend systems you architect, your ability to translate complex business workflows into achievable technical solutions, and your mentorship impact on the delivery team.
