About the Role

This is a great opportunity to join a high-growth, design-led technology company delivering fully white-labeled platforms to premium clients in the online gaming industry. As a Senior Front-end Engineer, you’ll take ownership of building and scaling high-performance web and mobile applications that power our global platform.

This is not a generic front-end role. You’ll be a technical leader who combines architectural thinking with hands-on coding, ensuring our front-end stack (React + React Native) is performant, maintainable, and ready to scale across multiple brands and markets. You’ll work closely with my client's Head of Engineering, Principal Front-end Engineer, and cross-functional teams to deliver solutions that balance design excellence with robust engineering practices.

What You’ll Be Driving

Front-end Architecture & Technical Strategy

  • Design and implement scalable, maintainable front-end architectures with React and React Native.

  • Make data-driven decisions on state management (Redux, Zustand, React Query), API integration, and performance optimizations.

  • Establish modular design patterns and reusable components to accelerate development across projects.

  • Influence long-term front-end technical strategy, aligning with evolving business and industry standards.

Code Quality & Best Practices

  • Write clean, efficient, and well-documented code, following SOLID, DRY, and KISS principles.

  • Conduct detailed peer code reviews to ensure quality and consistency.

  • Proactively refactor and reduce technical debt while maintaining performance benchmarks.

  • Ensure accessibility (WCAG 2.1) and cross-platform/browser compatibility across web and mobile.

Project Delivery & Execution

  • Deliver features within sprint commitments, balancing speed, quality, and scope.

  • Collaborate with backend teams to define and test API contracts, ensuring seamless integrations.

  • Optimize applications for responsiveness and scalability with measurable performance gains.

  • Identify risks or blockers early, proposing solutions to keep projects on track.

Collaboration & Stakeholder Communication

  • Work closely with design, product, and backend teams to deliver cohesive, user-centric experiences.

  • Translate business requirements into technical solutions, articulating trade-offs and decisions clearly.

  • Actively contribute to sprint ceremonies, retrospectives, and technical discussions.

Leadership & Mentorship

  • Mentor junior engineers on best practices in React, React Native, and performance optimization.

  • Lead knowledge-sharing sessions on state management, reusability, or mobile workflows.

  • Promote accountability, high standards, and a culture of continuous improvement within the team.

What You Bring

  • 5+ years of front-end engineering experience, with at least 3 years focused on React and React Native.

  • Strong track record of designing and delivering scalable front-end architectures.

  • Expertise in state management (Redux, Zustand, React Query), API integration, and performance optimization.

  • Advanced proficiency in JavaScript (ES6+), HTML, and CSS, with deep debugging skills.

  • Experience ensuring accessibility, cross-platform compatibility, and responsive design.

  • Strong communication skills - able to present complex technical ideas to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science/Engineering, or equivalent experience.

Bonus Points For

  • Hands-on experience deploying mobile apps to iOS and Android app stores.

  • Familiarity with build pipelines, CI/CD, and mobile deployment workflows.

  • Experience with white-label or multi-brand product architectures.

  • Background in gaming, fintech, or other high-traffic consumer applications.

Why This Role Is Different

This isn’t about cranking out tickets or being “just another front-end dev.” You’ll be:

  • Shaping architecture: Designing the patterns and frameworks that power multiple live brands.

  • Bringing scale: Driving performance and maintainability in high-traffic environments.

  • Leading impact: Mentoring others, setting standards, and helping define how my client builds its products.

  • Owning outcomes: Delivering front-end solutions used daily by customers across Australia, the US, Canada, and Asia.

If you’re a senior front-end engineer who thrives on building world-class applications at scale - and wants to see your work powering the future of gaming tech - this is your role.
