Frontend Developer in UNITED KINGDOM

Here's the thing about most frontend roles. You spend 80% of your time maintaining legacy code, arguing with tech debt, and maybe, if you're lucky, you get to build something new once in a blue moon.

This isn't that.

We're working with a digital team migrating brands onto a centralised e-commerce platform over the next three years. Which means you'll be rebuilding sites from scratch every few months. New brand, new designs, apply what you learned last time, do it better. Then do it again. The team manager described it as "the fun bit at the beginning" that actually never ends.

The Role:

• Rebuild e-commerce sites from scratch on a rolling basis (new brand every few months)
• Work with Astro (server-side rendered, JSX syntax—if you know React/Vue/Svelte, you'll pick it up)
• Build lean, accessible, performant frontends for UK and EU markets
• Some React maintenance for admin-facing tools
• Two-week sprints with collaborative scoping (actual thought required, not ticket churning)
• Fully remote with proper flexibility

What You Bring:

• 3+ years with modern frameworks (React, Vue, Svelte—principles matter more than specific tech)
• Strong fundamentals: semantic HTML, modern CSS, vanilla JavaScript, DOM manipulation
• TypeScript experience
• Adaptability and curiosity about new tech
• WCAG/accessibility knowledge helpful but can be learned (EU legal requirements mean it's important)

What You Get:

• Up to £55k base salary
• Fully remote within the UK
• Health insurance
• 20 days holiday + bank holidays
• Christmas to New Year closure (doesn't count toward allowance)
• Actually engaging work—building new things repeatedly, not maintaining legacy code
• Three-year roadmap with job security

They use Astro, not React for the frontend. It's a modern, performance-focused approach that's gaining traction. Progressive enhancement, graceful degradation, server-side rendering. If you're curious about moving beyond heavy client-side frameworks, this is your chance.

The team manager was honest: he moved here because "it's the type of job that keeps me engaged." If you're tired of maintenance work and want to build from scratch repeatedly while learning modern approaches, this is rare.
