Contract Senior Frontend Engineer (React / Vue) – Contract - 3 to 6 months

Melbourne, Australia

We are looking for a heavy‑hitting Senior Frontend Engineer (8–10 years experience) to anchor our client‑facing product delivery in Melbourne. You will be responsible for crafting slick, responsive, and bulletproof user interfaces (using React/Typescript or Vue) that connect seamlessly with advanced backend AI systems and serverless cloud architectures.

Responsibilities

- Architect Enterprise React Platforms: Lead the frontend system design, component architecture, and implementation of high‑scale enterprise applications using React/Vue and TypeScript.
- Enforce Strict Type Safety: Establish and maintain robust TypeScript configurations, design patterns, and type definitions across our codebases to minimize runtime errors and accelerate developer velocity.
- Bridge the Cloud Layer: Work closely with our backend and platform engineering teams to integrate stateful UI components with real‑time streaming APIs, RESTful endpoints, and event‑driven microservices on GCP.
- Uphold the Melbourne Standard: Enforce strict engineering governance—prioritizing web accessibility (WCAG), optimized performance (Core Web Vitals), clean modular design patterns, and comprehensive unit/integration testing frameworks.
- Collaborative Delivery: Act as a critical technical authority during sprint planning and refinements, translating complex client business workflows into achievable frontend architecture.
- On‑the‑Ground Presence:



Participate in high‑alignment local client workshops, architecture reviews, and milestone demos in the Melbourne CBD when required.

Qualifications

- The Tenure: 8–10 years of professional frontend software engineering experience, with a proven track record of shipping production‑grade applications at scale.
- TypeScript & React Mastery: Deep, expert‑level fluency in React and strongly‑typed architectures using TypeScript (generics, advanced utility types, and strict type checking).
- State & Ecosystem Expertise: Command over contemporary React state management ecosystems (Redux Toolkit, Context API, Zustand, or React Query) and modern routing/bundling tooling (Vite, Webpack).
- The Consulting Polish: Exceptional English communication skills. You can explain the technical trade‑offs of structural architectural decisions to an enterprise client CTO as clearly as you can to a junior developer.

Preferred Qualifications

- GCP Infrastructure Empathy: Direct experience deploying frontend builds to cloud environments (GCP Cloud Storage, CDN setup, Cloud Run) or utilizing serverless architectures.
- Local Sector Familiarity: Previous experience architecting frontends within highly regulated Australian sectors (e.g., Banking, Digital Lending, Energy, or Telecommunications).
- AI Tooling Adoption: Comfort using modern AI code‑acceleration tools (e.g., Gemini Code Assist, Cursor) to maximize your daily prototyping and test‑suite building velocity.
