Senior Frontend Developer
Location: Dublin - Hybrid, 2 days onsite
Salary: Up to €70,000 + benefits
MCS Group is delighted to be partnering with a growing Dublin-based technology company as they continue to invest in their product and engineering team.
They're looking for a Senior Frontend Developer to join a small, collaborative engineering environment where you'll have plenty of ownership over what you build and the opportunity to work across more than just the frontend.
The Role
This is primarily a frontend position, working across modern JavaScript applications and building new functionality as the product continues to evolve.
There's a strong pipeline of new development ahead, with several larger frontend-focused projects coming up. You'll be trusted to take ownership of features, make technical decisions and work closely with product and the wider engineering team to get things delivered.
While frontend will be your specialism, this isn't an environment where engineers are heavily siloed.
You won't need to be a backend expert, but you should be comfortable understanding how the wider application works, interacting with APIs and occasionally making smaller backend changes when needed.
What You'll Be Doing
Building and developing modern web applications
Taking ownership of frontend features from initial requirements through to delivery
Working with modern JavaScript frameworks including React and Vue
Building new functionality while helping modernise existing applications
Working closely with Product and the wider Engineering team
Integrating frontend applications with backend APIs and services
Occasionally working across the stack when required
Considering security and potential vulnerabilities when building new functionality
Contributing ideas and helping shape technical solutions
Using modern AI development tools to improve your development workflow
What We're Looking For
Strong commercial JavaScript experience
Experience with React, Vue or another modern JavaScript framework
Experience owning and delivering features rather than simply completing tickets
Good understanding of APIs and how frontend and backend systems interact
Some backend exposure or a willingness to work outside the frontend when required
Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently
An understanding of secure development practices
Someone comfortable working within a smaller, collaborative engineering team
Experience working within a Start-up or scale-up environment
You don't need commercial experience with both React and Vue. Strong experience with one modern JavaScript framework and the ability to adapt is more important.
Nice to Have
PHP backend experience
SaaS or B2B product experience
Experience working within a regulated or security-conscious environment
Portfolio, GitHub or examples of products you've helped build
What's On Offer
Hybrid - 2 days onsite
Salary up to €70,000
Hybrid working
Pension
€400 annual wellbeing allowance
Annual salary reviews
Flexible working culture
Regular workshops, hackathons and learning opportunities
This is a great opportunity for a Frontend Developer who wants to join a smaller engineering environment where you'll have genuine ownership, plenty of interesting work ahead and the freedom to contribute beyond your immediate remit.
