Frontend Engineer

SUMMARY:
Cape Town Front End Engineers - it’s time to build interfaces that matter!
 
If you’re tired of pixel-pushing on bloated design systems or building features that get buried in the backlog, this is your shot to create front ends that users rave about. We’re looking for sharp, high-performance Front-End Engineers ready to own the UI - not just tweak it.
 
You’ll be working with modern JavaScript frameworks like Angular, React, and React Native, bringing intuitive design to life and deploying responsive, scalable applications that look as good as they perform. You won’t just ship pretty interfaces - you’ll craft seamless experiences that drive real results.
 
If you’re obsessed with performance, accessibility, and building UI that users actually enjoy, we want to talk to you. This is more than just another frontend role - it’s your chance to level up, lead innovation, and leave your mark on platforms used around the world. Let's build something great.
