About the role
Braddock Group is looking for a developer with a strong UI focus to join us on a contract basis, working alongside our lead engineer to build out the user-facing side of an internal platform that supports our communication and data operations.
This is hands-on React + TypeScript work, building clean, functional interfaces for tools our team uses daily. You'll be translating requirements into usable screens, working from designs and specs, and collaborating closely with the backend developer who owns the architecture. The codebase is modern (React, TypeScript, Tailwind, Vite) and the stack is straightforward, so you will be productive quickly.
The commitment is a minimum of two days per week, with scope to increase to four depending on sprint priorities and your availability.
Responsibilities
Building and refining frontend components in React + TypeScript
Working from PRDs and wireframes to deliver polished, responsive UI
Writing component-level tests for the code you ship
Collaborating with the lead developer on integration points and API consumption
Helping shape UX decisions where the spec leaves room for judgement
Writing clean, maintainable code that someone else can pick up
Supporting the backend developer on delivery-adjacent tasks as required
Required Experience
Strong experience with React and TypeScript
Tailwind CSS in production
Comfortable working from specs without heavy hand-holding
Good eye for UI detail, cares about polish, spacing, states
Writes tests for components they ship (Jest / React Testing Library or similar)
Clear communicator who flags blockers early rather than late
Based in or near Brighton, or elsewhere in Southern England with willingness to travel for the occasional office day (~1 day every 3 weeks)
Desirable
Experience with email platforms, CRM, or data-heavy internal tools
Familiarity with Zustand or similar lightweight state libraries
Vite build setup familiarity
Previous startup or small-team experience where you wore multiple hats
