Junior Front End Developer | HealthTech Scale-up | React, JavaScript | Remote-First (UK)

Up to £35,000 depending on experience.

Remote-first (with the ability to travel for occasional collaboration).

Small, specialist engineering team.

Profitable HealthTech Scale-up.

React, JavaScript, TypeScript.

Are you a Junior Developer with a sharp eye for design and a passion for building products that actually help people?

Do you enjoy the fast-paced environment of a small team where you can see your work being used by thousands of people almost immediately?

Are you looking for a role where you aren't just a ticket-processor, but a product-thinker who cares about the user experience as much as the code?

My client is an established UK scale-up building technology that genuinely improves lives. They have spent years refining a digital platform used by a massive community of frontline workers to streamline essential daily tasks. Unlike many in the space, they are profitable and are now scaling their engineering team to support a major roadmap of international expansion.

As the successful candidate:

• Real Mentorship: You will be the second full-time engineer in a lean team, working directly with a Lead Developer who will mentor and support your career growth.

• Global Impact: You will ship code immediately, helping to build out critical features for their international expansion.

• Design & Tech: You will bridge the gap between technical implementation and design, ensuring the platform remains intuitive for users in high-pressure environments.

• Full-Stack Potential: While initially focused on the React web and mobile platforms, you will have the opportunity to evolve your skills into back-end services over time.

The ideal candidate:

• Front-End Proficiency: Solid commercial or strong personal project experience with React and JavaScript — required.

• Design Sensibility: A genuine interest in UI/UX. You should care about how a feature feels to a user, not just if the code runs — required.

• Proactive Mindset: A learner attitude. You are curious, ask critical questions, and have a drive to get things done quickly — required.

• Location: Remote-first, but you must be based in a location that allows for occasional travel (roughly once a month) for in-person collaboration sessions — required.

• Nice to haves: Experience with TypeScript, React Native, or an interest in Python/Django.

This is a rare opportunity for a junior developer to move away from "cog-in-the-machine" coding and take on real ownership in a company that is financially stable, profitable, and entering an exciting period of global growth.
