• Contribute directly to the architectural design by driving improvements in scalability, performance, and modularity. • Implement highly functional features, focusing specifically on real-time/data-intensive UIs using clean, tested JavaScript/TypeScript. • Guarantee code quality through writing strong unit/integration tests and ensuring the UI is compliant with WCAG/accessibility standards. • Proactively identify and resolve system bottlenecks using profiling tools. • Champion and enforce high standards for clean code through in-depth code reviews and providing clear technical guidance to peers. • Drive improvements in CI/CD pipelines and developer tooling, taking complete end-to-end ownership of features through design, deployment, and subsequent monitoring/on-call support.

• Architect and build a new web frontend from scratch using SvelteKit and Tailwind CSS • Define rendering strategy across SSR, SSG, ISR, and edge • Hit and hold performance targets • Build a reusable component library and design system implementation in Svelte • Own SEO fundamentals: semantic HTML, metadata, structured data, sitemap, canonicalization • Set up and enforce testing standards • Establish frontend tooling and DX • Lead code reviews and raise the quality bar across the frontend • Drive technical planning, ADRs, and architecture discussions • Integrate with backend APIs and contribute to API contract design • Support CI/CD pipelines and deployments on AWS

• Define and communicate a clear platform vision, strategy, and roadmap aligned with company priorities. • Own it end-to-end from first principles through to execution. • Establish ownership, processes, and prioritisation frameworks for platform initiatives, driving prioritisation based on business, product, and technical needs. • Lead and grow the platform function, including future hiring decisions and team structure design - with a mature team structure and growth plan established within the first year. • Partner with Engineering, Product, and executive leadership on cross-functional alignment and planning. • Ensure the platform supports product scalability, reliability, and long-term technical direction - materially reducing delivery blockers in the first 6 months and delivering measurable improvements in delivery speed, reliability, and scalability over time. • Represent the platform function at leadership level and contribute to broader company strategy, with platform recognised as a strategic enabler of product growth across the organisation.

• Own the backlog end-to-end. Discovery, story writing, prioritization, sprint planning, and delivery oversight. • Maintain a groomed backlog at least two sprints deep at all times, with clear acceptance criteria on every story before it enters a sprint. • Write stories engineers and QA can act on. Clear scope, unambiguous acceptance criteria, no surprises mid-sprint. • Partner with design on lobby and menu UI. Push back when something isn't right. Be the player's advocate in every design conversation. • Collaborate with FE engineering on technical tradeoffs. Understand the constraints, contribute to feasibility discussions, and help the team make good calls under pressure. • Keep stakeholders informed and aligned.
