Frontend Consultant
About the role and what you'll be doing
You will spend most of your time working as part of an agile delivery team (most likely at a client’s office) on an exciting project helping that client to realise the business benefit of an investment into the cloud. Our projects vary a huge amount from client to client, so you’ll never get bored.
You can expect to be playing a technical role. You will find yourself immersed in a cross-functional team composed of Amido Business Analysts, QA Engineers and Developers helping your client define the most suitable frontend solution as well as using your development skills to deliver quality code. We work with many different clients using many different technology choices, though we favour ReactJS, Styled Components, Webpack and Typescript/ES6.
You will be working across the full project lifecycle – from developing proof of concept to delivering the final project – and will provide advice to the team and your client about the best approach to frontend development. You might also be involved in presenting technical topics to your team, or coaching more junior members of staff, depending on project needs.
Amido has a rich and varied set of communities (on a wide variety of topics from security to mental health) as well as your core competency that you’ll be encouraged to contribute to, and learn from, where projects and client commitments allow.
What you’ll bring to Amido
- Being skilled at front-end engineering using Object-Oriented ECMAScript JavaScript or Typescript, various JavaScript libraries and frameworks (React or Angular), HTML and CSS

- Experience with unit-testing technologies such as Jest (preferred), Enzyme, Mocha, etc.
