We are evolving and optimising acquisition journey at NewDay — and we’re looking for a Senior React Engineer to help lead the way.
Sitting within our Customer Channels engineering team, you’ll play a key role in designing, building and evolving business-critical applications that support our partner products, including brands like Argos and John Lewis.
This is a hands-on role where you’ll combine modern front-end engineering and strong technical judgement to deliver high-quality, scalable, secure solutions and shape how we build across multiple brands and platforms.
How you’ll contribute
Design, build and maintain scalable front-end applications using modern React frameworks
Contribute to architecture and engineering standards, helping shape how we build and evolve our platforms
Support complex customer journeys, particularly within acquisition and onboarding experiences
Work across the full lifecycle, including APIs and backend services where needed
Take ownership of production quality, including monitoring, performance and on-call support
Champion best practice in engineering, including testing, accessibility, security and performance
Mentor and support other engineers, setting the standard across the team
Leverage AI tools (e.g. GitHub Copilot) thoughtfully to improve efficiency and code quality
What you’ll be working on
Building white-label applications used across multiple brands
Developing design systems to enable consistent, reusable UI development at scale
Enhancing customer acquisition journeys and digital experiences
Supporting shared platforms and infrastructure, working beyond just front-end development
What we’re looking for
You’re a strong senior engineer who combines technical depth with ownership and influence. You’re comfortable working in a regulated environment and confident contributing beyond just code. Strong communication skills are key as you will be working closely with senior stakeholders.
You’ll likely bring:
Strong experience with React (Next.js, Remix or similar), TypeScript and modern front-end development
Experience building scalable UI systems, including design systems and component libraries (Storybook, atomic design)
Solid understanding of API integration (RESTful services) and Node.js
Experience working with micro-frontend architecture and monorepos (e.g. Nx, Turborepo)
Strong grounding in testing practices (TDD, quality, performance, accessibility)
Exposure to DevOps / SRE concepts, including monitoring and production ownership
A self-starter approach, with the ability to influence decisions and improve how things are done
Why this role matters
This role is key to:
Delivering seamless, scalable customer experiences across multiple brands
Ensuring our platforms are secure, accessible and high-performing
Supporting faster delivery of new features and improvements
Enabling a consistent and reusable approach to front-end engineering across NewDay
