Introduction

We are looking for a hands-on Lead Front-End Engineer who is passionate about clean code, performance optimisation, and crafting seamless user experiences. This is a senior-level individual contributor role where your technical depth matters more than team management.

Duties & Responsibilities

You won’t just manage a backlog, you will write complex business logic, influence architectural direction, and set the benchmark for front-end engineering excellence within the Team.

 

If you thrive on solving challenging UI problems and building scalable, future-proof front-end systems, this opportunity is for you.

 

Requirements:

 

  • Deep expertise in React.js (lifecycles, hooks, state management)
  • Strong proficiency in ES6+ and TypeScript
  • Experience with modern styling approaches (Styled Components, Tailwind, SASS, CSS)
  • Solid experience with front-end testing frameworks
  • Hands-on experience with Jest, React Testing Library, and Cypress.
  • Ability to architect robust, scalable, and decoupled solutions from feature requirements

 

Reference Number for this position is CL61094, fully remote offering a cost to company salary of up to R1.2m per annum depending on experience and ability. Contact Candace on candacel@e-merge.co.za or call her on 011 463 3633 to discuss this and other opportunities.
