Senior Frontend Developer

Our Partner empowers students and educators by making study resources more accessible, affordable, and impactful. We’re a global marketplace for student-shared learning materials, helping millions of learners find and share study notes, summaries, and exam guides. At Our Partner, we believe in bold ideas, lean processes, and a user-first mindset. We’re a team of doers, creatives, and lifelong learners passionate about transforming how education works.

As a Senior Frontend Developer, you’ll lead the modernisation of our web platform, transitioning from a PHP monolith (Twig templating) to a robust, component-based architecture using recent modernised frameworks. You’ll work closely with design and backend teams to deliver scalable, performant, and visually consistent UIs. The role includes taking ownership of projects as a lead—either independently or while leading a small team—ensuring delivery to spec and on schedule. Your work will directly shape how millions of students engage with Our Partner worldwide.

Roles And Responsibilities:

• Lead the migration of a large-scale PHP monolithic application (Twig templating) into a modern, component-based front-end architecture using recent modernised frameworks.
• Convert Figma designs into responsive, accessible, and pixel-perfect UI components, maintaining consistency with the design system.
• Design and implement a phased rollout strategy for modern components with zero downtime, ensuring a seamless user experience.
• Collaborate closely with PHP/backend teams to integrate modern front-end layers over existing Twig templates.
• Drive front-end architecture decisions, advocate for clean code, design systems, and reusable components.
• Implement A/B testing frameworks to validate features and drive product decisions.
• Ensure front-end adheres to performance, accessibility, SEO, and security best practices.
• Work with product and design teams to break down Twig templates into interactive, testable components.
• Own quality by implementing unit testing, code reviews, and monitoring production issues proactively.

Key Requirements:

• 5+ years of experience in building and scaling front-end applications, ideally with React.
• Strong experience modernising legacy frontend architectures, including migration from Twig (or similar templating systems) to component-based designs.
• Proven experience in working with PHP (jQuery) based monolithic applications.
• Deep understanding of HTML, CSS, JavaScript (ES6+), React, Redux (or context/state libraries).
• Familiarity with Twig templates and PHP integration with front-end views.
• Hands-on experience with A/B testing tools and experiment-driven UI development.
• Ability to plan and execute gradual rollouts without affecting production uptime.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to operate independently in fast-paced environments.

Bonus: Familiarity with PHP or other backend frameworks, and experience writing unit tests.
