Frontend Developer

About the role

Your new job as a Creative Front-End Developer is to be the UX owner in a small, senior full-stack team. The team is tasked with developing existing Flights & Train booking platform. You will be the UX person on the team, defining how airline operations and crew planning professionals search, compare, and book flights and trains, and bringing those decisions into design concepts (Figma) and production code (React). You care more about how much value a product delivers to the user than how it looks on the surface. You are autonomous and self-driven, comfortable making UX decisions without a design department behind you, while iterating based on data and insights.

Key responsibilities

• Designing the end-to-end UX of the Flights & Train booking platform
• Turning complex booking logic into workflows and features that feel simple
• Creating user flows, wireframes, and prototypes in Figma, validating them quickly, and iterating based on feedback
• Building what you design: developing front-end interfaces in React, while balancing technical constraints with user experience
• Prototyping and experimenting with AI tools or directly in code when that is the fastest way to validate an idea and create value
• Running lightweight UX research: talking to users, quick usability checks, and analysing user behaviour with tools like Amplitude and Chameleon
• Collaborating closely with the full-stack developers on API contracts, data states, loading and error behaviour
• Helping refine user stories from the UX perspective, ensuring what the team builds creates the desired outcomes and user benefits
• Facilitating design critiques and brainstorming sessions and clearly communicating and justifying design decisions to developers, product managers, and other stakeholders

About you

• 3+ years of professional experience building front-end applications in React (or equivalent)
• A portfolio demonstrating UX thinking: flows you optimised, usability you increased, improvements that are not just visual design
• Fluency in Figma for flows, wireframing, screen design and prototyping
• Solid understanding of UX fundamentals, including information architecture, interaction design, handling edge cases, and attention to detail
• Strong communication skills in English; able to defend UX decisions
• Experience with travel industry, aviation, logistics, or other reservation systems (nice to have)
• Experience building or maintaining a design system or component library (nice to have)
• Skilled use of AI-assisted design and development workflows (nice to have)
