About the Role

We’re looking for a highly skilled UI Developer to join a dynamic engineering team in Sydney. This role focuses on building interactive, high-performance web interfaces and REST-based integrations using React.js and Express.js. You’ll collaborate closely with backend, QA, and product teams to deliver user-centric applications that are both elegant and technically robust.

The ideal candidate has a strong understanding of UI architecture, data flows, and API-driven design — with a passion for creating seamless user experiences and writing maintainable, well-documented code.


Key Responsibilities
  • Design and build modern UI applications using React.js and related front-end libraries.
  • Develop RESTful Experience APIs using JavaScript and Express.js.
  • Integrate frontend components with backend APIs, ensuring performance and scalability.
  • Write and maintain technical documentation and API integration specifications.
  • Implement automation testing for UI flows to ensure functional and visual consistency.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define and deliver high-quality features.
  • Optimise complex UI dependency graphs for maintainability and performance.


Must-Have Skills
  • Strong proficiency in React.js, including hooks, context, and component lifecycle.
  • Experience building and integrating REST APIs using JavaScript/Express.js.
  • Solid understanding of frontend architecture, state management, and data flow.
  • Experience with automation testing frameworks (e.g. Playwright, Cypress, or Jest).
  • Ability to produce clear technical documentation and handle API integration.


Nice-to-Have Skills
  • Experience with Playwright for UI automation testing.
  • Prior exposure to calendar or booking functionalities in UI applications.
  • Familiarity with managing complex dependency graphs in large-scale React applications.
  • Understanding of service mesh concepts or distributed system architecture.


Ideal Candidate
  • You’re a frontend engineer who combines creativity with technical depth. You understand how design, usability, and APIs come together to create exceptional user experiences. You’re confident across both frontend logic and backend integrations, and you bring a collaborative mindset with a focus on performance, reliability, and clean code.
