About
Principal Frontend Engineer (Contract)
We’re supporting a large, complex enterprise technology organisation as they build a greenfield Connected Platform that will underpin their digital estate for the next decade.
This is a hands-on Principal Engineer role where you’ll set technical direction, lead by example, and help shape modern frontend architecture at scale.
The Opportunity You’ll join a newly formed product engineering team working on a cloud-native platform that provides a single access point across multiple enterprise systems. The focus is on modern frontend engineering, micro-frontends, event-driven architecture, and real-time data.

Acting as a hands-on technical leader within a senior engineering team
Designing and evolving micro-frontend architectures using React
Working closely with architecture, product, data and platform teams
Contributing across the stack where required (GraphQL, .NET, AWS)
Championing engineering best practice, performance, security and scalability
Supporting real-time, event-driven systems and highly decoupled services
Mentoring engineers and raising the technical bar across the team
Tech Environment
Frontend: React, Micro-frontends, GraphQL
Cloud: AWS (EKS, ECS, Lambda, MSK, EventBridge, SNS/SQS)
IaC & DevOps: Terraform, Docker, GitHub Actions
What We’re Looking For
Proven experience as a Principal / Lead Engineer in modern frontend systems
Deep hands-on React experience, ideally at enterprise scale
Strong understanding of micro-frontends and distributed architectures
Experience working in cloud-native, AWS-based environments
Comfortable operating in greenfield, fast-moving product teams
Confident influencing technical direction without formal line management
