component library and design system development
for enterprise clients. This role focuses on building and maintaining a sophisticated UI component library that powers both e-commerce and B2B web applications for a major UK brand.
You’ll be working with modern frontend technologies ( Preact, TailwindCSS, and Storybook ) to create reusable, accessible and pixel-perfect components that form the foundation of our client's digital experiences. The library includes
70+ components ,
200+ documented stories
and supports
multiple themes
with automated CSS generation.
This is a hands‑on development role where you’ll own components end‑to‑end: from implementation through Storybook documentation, accessibility compliance, and cross‑theme testing. Each component you build gets its own QA environment and you’ll collaborate closely with designers through integrated Figma tooling.
You’ll be working alongside the client’s product engineering team, participating in daily stand‑ups and contributing to a shared roadmap that includes
UI elevation across the platform , a
mobile‑first redesign , and
new feature development .
This is also a
client‑facing role . You’ll join client stand‑ups, take requirements directly from stakeholders, and collaborate closely with their product and engineering teams. We’re looking for someone confident in communicating with clients, comfortable asking clarifying questions and able to translate business needs into robust technical solutions in partnership with the wider team.
Requirements Who we are looking for

Frontend Component Developer
