[Hiring] Senior Frontend Engineer @Black Tree Gaming

Role Description

We're looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer to lead how our frontend applications get built, tested, and shipped. You'll write and review frontend code, make architectural decisions about our Next.js applications, and take ownership of the tooling, pipelines, and infrastructure that let our frontend teams move fast and ship with confidence.

This is a hands-on frontend role first you'll be in the codebase, working with delivery pods, reviewing PRs, and solving real product problems. But you'll also own the platform underneath it: CI/CD, deployment, observability, and developer experience for every frontend team in the business.

Qualifications

• Experience in Frontend Engineering
• Proficiency in Next.js applications
• Strong understanding of CI/CD processes
• Experience with Kubernetes and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)

Requirements

• Write, review, and ship production code across our Next.js applications, working directly alongside delivery pods.
• Make architectural decisions on SSR/ISR strategy, edge runtime usage, and caching behaviour for frontend applications.
• Set and champion frontend engineering standards — build tooling, code quality, testing practices, and performance budgets.
• Occasionally embed with a delivery pod for a sprint to support a specific initiative or unblock a hard problem.
• Mentor other engineers on frontend architecture, build, and deployment best practices.
• Own the deployment strategy for SPAs and SSR applications, including CDN configuration, cache invalidation, and asset delivery.
• Build and maintain frontend-specific developer tooling: build configurations, local dev environments, preview environments, and service templates.
• Establish golden paths for new frontend services, so projects start with sensible defaults for builds, deploys, testing, and monitoring.
• Improve frontend observability: error tracking, performance monitoring, and Core Web Vitals, alongside broader monitoring, alerting, and logging.
• Manage package management strategy across npm/yarn/pnpm, internal registries, dependency management, and security scanning.
• Own and improve CI/CD pipelines, with a particular focus on build speed, caching, reliability, and fast feedback loops for frontend teams.
• Collaborate across all delivery pods to understand friction points and build self-service tooling that removes it.
• Build, maintain, and improve our Kubernetes platform, including cluster management, workload reliability, and resource optimisation.
• Write and maintain Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) for provisioning cloud resources.
• Manage and evolve our GitOps workflows (FluxCD) for continuous delivery.
• Respond to infrastructure incidents, participate in on-call rotations, and contribute to post-incident reviews.
• Write clear documentation and runbooks so other engineers can understand and operate the infrastructure.
• Contribute to security hardening, cost optimisation, and capacity planning.

Benefits

• Salary: £65,000 - £75,000
• Location: Remote, but within the UK
• Please note: We are unable to sponsor international visas at this time.
