What will I be doing?
You’ll be part of the team building Kaluza’s Energy Retail platform, designing and delivering scalable frontend features using TypeScript and React. You’ll work on large-scale applications used by both customers and internal teams, shaping intuitive user experiences on top of complex systems.
You’ll take ownership of features from discovery through to release and ongoing improvement, contributing to architectural decisions and evolving patterns as the codebase grows. Alongside collaborating with product managers, designers, and backend engineers, you’ll build shared components and tooling, write well-tested code, and continuously improve performance, scalability, and overall quality.
About You
Ideally you’ll have:
- Experience building production frontend applications with TypeScript and React
- A good understanding of component architecture, state management, and patterns for scaling React applications
- Experience delivering meaningful features or systems with a degree of ownership
- Comfort thinking about performance, reliability, and long-term maintainability
- Experience with end-to-end testing in modern frontend environments
- Confidence collaborating across disciplines and contributing to technical discussions
- An interest in solving real customer problems, not just shipping code
What will set you apart:
- Familiarity with monorepo tooling such as Nx or Turborepo.
Why might this role not suit you?
We are going through a period of significant evolution which is exciting and with it brings lots of opportunity and challenging work, which is not for everyone. To be successful in this role, you will be excellent at operating in ambiguous, changing environments, balancing multiple priorities simultaneously and get enjoyment from making the complex, simple.
