React Architect Developer

Our client has an emotionally satisfying task ahead—the systematic dismemberment of our existing PHP web system and its replacement with a beautiful and responsive React website. They're taking the opportunity to completely redesign and rebuild the website to bring the best UX/UI experience to our users. There is a world of possibilities open to them.

They’re still in the phase of finalising our tool-stack, though it looks likely that they’ll go with the minimal yet powerful Next.js framework for server-side rendering (SSR). They’re leaning towards React Context API over Redux.

The backend team is building a high-performance and high-volume scalable backend on the JVM using Kotlin microservices in a service mesh and they’re separating the front- and back-ends via OAS contracts using SwaggerHub.

They’re looking for architect developers with good taste and strong opinions to help:

• Select the frontend tool-stack that will power us for the next five years
• Lay down best practices that embed UX/UI experimentation (they are an incubator and laboratory)
• Start to think about how they will build and architect a mobile dev team using React Native
• Dismantle, deconstruct and dissect the PHP system, yet with the surgical precision needed to preserve its business logic intact and functioning. (Progressively replace it with microservices in Kotlin)
• Define the culture of the team and its standards of excellence
• Fully embrace this rare opportunity to create something exceptional from first principles
