- Implement robust authorisation and access-control logic, ensuring data segregation and security.
- Build and consume third-party integrations, including external APIs and CRM systems.
- Construct front-end applications in React and TypeScript, consuming and extending the design system.
- Implement data visualisations and interactive analytics views while maintaining usability and visual fidelity.
- Contribute to reporting and document-generation capabilities by building new report outputs and integrating them into the platform.
- Write clear, well-tested code, following conventions for test-driven development and automated testing.
- Participate in code reviews, providing and receiving constructive feedback.
- Utilise version control practices, contributing to safe and repeatable deployment.
- Collaborate with colleagues across the business and support the controlled adoption of automation and AI-assisted capabilities.
- Support new features through to launch, responding proactively to user feedback.
Job Requirements:
- Solid commercial experience with Ruby on Rails, including building and consuming RESTful APIs.
- Strong proficiency in front-end development using React and TypeScript.
- Experience with relational databases (MySQL or similar) and data modelling.
- Familiarity with automated testing and the habit of writing tested code.
- Comfortable working within an established codebase and respecting existing patterns.
- Experience integrating third-party APIs, including authentication and error handling.
- Familiarity with Git, code review, and CI/CD pipelines.
- Experience with Agile delivery and breaking features into incremental work.
