Frontend Engineer
We’re looking for an engineer to join our team and help Evoluted deliver bespoke solutions for our diverse clients; someone who loves the web as a platform and has a broad set of skills for building user-friendly and high-performance user interfaces.
This is a fully hybrid role so you can work remotely, or come in to our Sheffield office, or a bit of both! We all get together four(ish) times a year for company days, so as long as you're in the UK you'll have the flexibility to work how you want while staying connected with our team.
-
Fully Hybrid Working
We offer a 100% hybrid working environment - whether you work from home, our Sheffield HQ or anything in between. So whether you just wanna sit in your PJs and get your head down or drop by the office for a more social working environment, it's totally up to you!
-
Career Development Support
We all want to know what the next step in our career looks like and more importantly, how we can get there. That's why we built our own bespoke performance management tool combining clear skill-based progression pathways with qualitative appraisals to get a 360-view of your personal development.
-
Training & Education
Learning never stops, no matter your age or experience, so we provide expensed conference trips, in-house lunch & learn sessions, external training specialists, courses, books and more. We don't believe in pre-defined "personal training budgets" and instead use bi-annual OKRs and regular 1:1s to create personalised development plans.
-
Mental Health Support
With a shift in awareness and a rise in mental health support requirements, more people than ever are talking about their mental health and wellbeing at work. Evoluted have contracted Sanctus to provide trained mental health coaches who are available every month to anyone who would like a safe space to talk.
-
Profit Share Scheme
20% of Evoluted's profit from client-related work is shared equally amongst the whole team every year in December's payroll. We love being able to share the rewards from our company’s success with our team, providing a well-deserved end of year bonus as a thankyou for your commitment and hard work.
-
Flexi-Time
We know that everyone's lives are a little bit different and we all have our own commitments away from work. Our flexi-time policy means you can work anytime between 7am and 7pm, leaving plenty of time for appointments, school runs, workouts, siestas or whatever else might come up!
Key Skills and Technologies
Robust HTML and CSS skills - you should be able to convert a Figma/Canva/Sketch template to semantic HTML and CSS, if you use a framework (Tailwind, Bootstrap etc.) you should know and be able to demonstrate the fundamentals
JavaScript - we strongly believe in progressive enhancement so while we expect some JavaScript skills, we’re not expecting you to build out SPAs or Next.js applications
CMS experience - we use Craft CMS and Statamic but we’re looking for how you integrate and work within a CMS so other CMS experience is transferable
Beneficial Skills
Framework experience - we use Laravel but if you’ve worked with Django, Next.js, Ruby on Rails, or similar then you’re most of the way there
Shopify experience - we maintain several busy Shopify sites so experience with theme modification and the Shopify ecosystem would be valuable
Accessibility - Evoluted are committed to accessibility and knowledge of its principles and implementation challenges on the web would be very beneficial
TypeScript - some of our projects use TypeScript components and we like it a lot, if you’ve used it before or know what makes it different to JavaScript that would be a boon
Modern CSS - if you keep up to date with your subgrids, your @layer’s, and your container queries then we’ll have plenty to talk about
Performance optimisation - any experience with optimising for core web vitals and working with Lighthouse reports would be great
Frontend tooling - wrangling everything from WebPack to NPM and making them work well together and for our team, especially in a CI/CD environment
The projects you’ll work on power everything from schoolwear manufacturers to dog shows to doctors’ surgeries. We tailor the technology we use to the problem at hand so you’ll work on fully bespoke applications, deeply customised CMSs, and off-the-shelf Shopify stores.
Your day-to-day will include:
Developing new components and pages in HTML and CSS for both greenfield and existing projects
Maintaining existing projects with bug fixes and modifications
Using automated tools to maintain and improve code quality
Working with our project managers and tech leads to come up with solutions to client challenges
Uplifting existing work to modern standards and tooling
Reviewing code from colleagues and offering advice and guidance
Your day-to-day won’t include:
Building React/Vue/Svelte components - some of our projects use React but not many, we prefer progressive enhancement and though knowledge of these technologies would be great, it’s not expected or required
Constructing APIs and services - experience with REST, RPC, and GraphQL would be great, however this role is for someone who specialises in frontend skills and technologies
Constantly learning new tools and frameworks - we understand frontend moves fast and we try to remain modern without chasing the latest shiny release, expect tried-and-tested rather than fresh-from-the-oven
If you're located in the UK, can travel to Sheffield a few times a year, and all this sounds like a role you’d thrive in drop us your CV and covering letter and we’ll be in touch.
We understand Vibe-coding is the buzz word of the day, but we build for real people. We therefore expect our team to be comfortable writing and understanding their own code without an over reliance on AI.
