As a Senior Front-end Software Engineer you'll be responsible for designing and implementing user interfaces that are visually appealing, user-friendly, and efficient. You'll collaborate with various stakeholders, lead UI development efforts, and ensure the quality and usability of the final product.

Responsibilities:

• User Interface Design: Collaborate with stakeholders, such as UX (User Experience) designers and product managers, to understand user requirements and translate them into visually appealing and intuitive interfaces. Create wireframes, mockups, and prototypes to demonstrate design concepts.
• Front-End Development: Write clean, efficient, and maintainable code using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript frameworks (such as WebComponents, React, Angular, or Vue.js) to implement the user interface designs. Ensure cross-browser and cross-device compatibility and optimize application performance.
• Responsive Design: Develop interfaces that adapt and function seamlessly across different screen sizes and devices, including desktops, tablets, and mobile devices. Implement responsive design principles to deliver a consistent user experience.
• Interaction Design: Implement interactive elements and behaviours, such as animations, transitions, and micro-interactions, to enhance user engagement and improve usability. Utilise libraries and frameworks (e.g., CSS animations or JavaScript libraries) to create dynamic and interactive interfaces.
• Collaboration: Work closely with UX designers, back-end developers, and other stakeholders to ensure alignment between the visual design and technical implementation. Participate in design reviews, provide feedback, and iterate on interface designs based on user feedback.
• Performance Optimization: Identify and address performance bottlenecks in the user interface, such as slow rendering, excessive network requests, or inefficient code. Optimise images, utilise caching techniques, and implement code best practices to improve overall application performance.
• Testing and Debugging: Conduct thorough testing of the user interface to identify and fix issues or bugs. Use debugging tools and techniques to troubleshoot and resolve front-end-related problems.
• Documentation and Maintenance: Create documentation, style guides, and UI component libraries to ensure consistency and facilitate future development. Maintain and update existing UI components and interfaces as needed.

• 5+ years professional software engineering experience with at least 4 years working with modern JavaScript frameworks developing scalable, performant commercial products
• Be well-versed in best practices in writing efficient, understandable CSS and accessible, standards-compliant HTML
• Understand front-end performance
• Familiarity with current front-end build systems
• Well-versed in writing and running unit- and integration tests
• Accustomed to iterative development practices - breaking problems down, shipping small pieces rather than long-running features, etc.

Preferred:

• Performance optimization, accessibility and internationalization experience
• Familiarity with WebComponents and/or StencilJS 

Total Rewards @ Turnitin

Turnitin maintains a Total Rewards package that is competitive within the local job market. People tend to think about their Total Rewards monetarily – solely as regular pay plus bonus or commission. This what they earn in exchange for what they do. However, Turnitin delivers more than just these components. Beyond the intrinsic rewards of making a difference in the lives of educators, administrators, learners and researchers around the world, and thriving in an organization that is free of politics and full of humble, inclusive and collaborative teammates, the extrinsic rewards at Turnitin include generous time off and health and wellness programs that offer choice and flexibility and provide a safety net for the challenges that life presents from time to time. In our Remote-First approach to collaborating, you are also able to work the way that best fits your style and situation – whether that be remote, in one of our offices/rented spaces or hybrid.
