Software Engineer - Contractor

As a Software Engineer with a Frontend/UI/UX speciality within the Product Engineering & Technology division,

you will define interaction architecture and deliver high-assurance, mission-critical digital platforms.

Operating in

an Agile environment, you will solve complex usability challenges related to real-time data synchronisation,

cryptographic state visualisation, and secure content handling.

This role requires a hybrid skill set that blends expert proficiency in design tools (Figma) with robust front-end

engineering (Vue.js, TypeScript).

The position combines UX ownership with production-level UI implementation,

ensuring WCAG-compliant interfaces that remain intuitive under high operational stress.

The engineer is expected to translate UX concepts into shipped front-end code, owning interface quality from design

through deployment while collaborating closely with product and engineering teams.

o Architect user flows for applications requiring real-time state updates and low-latency user feedback.

o Design unobtrusive visual indicators for data integrity, encryption status, and content protection layers

without disrupting the user journey.

o Ensure the shipped code accurately reflects the complex cryptographic state of the underlying platforms.

o Independently develop pixel-perfect, responsive components using Vue.js and TypeScript.

o Implement complex client-side logic to handle dynamic content rendering and secure data presentation

layers.

o Ensure seamless integration with RESTful APIs and real-time WebSockets for live telemetry data

o Maintain and expand the internal Design System (icons, typography, atomic components) to ensure visual

consistency and code reusability across web, mobile, and desktop environments.

o Create high-fidelity interactive prototypes in Figma to validate complex workflows and state transitions with

engineering stakeholders, with a primary operational focus on translating those prototypes into robust,

production-ready code.

Executes user research and evaluation.

Analyses and describes the user goals and the context of use.

Designs, codes, verifies, tests, documents, amends, and refactors complex front-end

components and integration services.

Applies agreed standards and tools to achieve well-engineered outcomes, specifically

bridging the gap between interaction design and production-ready Vue.js infrastructure.

Strong proficiency in HTML5, CSS3, and TypeScript, including the secure integration of complex RESTful APIs and real-time WebSockets

Mandatory professional experience with the Vue.js ecosystem (Pinia, Vue Router)

designing for Real-Time Data (WebSockets/updates) or Information Density.

Expert proficiency in Figma (Auto Layout, Components, Prototyping).

Comprehensive understanding of WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines and ARIA roles.

Proven ability to articulate and defend complex design decisions to engineering and product stakeholders in fluent English.

Deep commitment to representing the "Voice of the User" in technical discussions.

Uncompromising standard for visual precision and interaction fidelity.
