Next.JS Layout Developer
This position is at the intersection of layout design and basic knowledge of modern frontend development. Everything that is on https://investengine.com/ before login/registration is the part of the project you will be working on.

The project uses Next.JS, so the layout is done using a component-based approach in JSX on React. You will not only need to create page layouts but also maintain / expand / add to the existing component library. You will often have to think about the architecture of components to ensure the code is reused as efficiently as possible. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to work on speeding up/automating development, improving site performance, load speed, reducing bundle sizes, enhancing Lighthouse metrics, etc.

You won't need to write complex business logic, but occasionally there may be unconventional tasks from marketing, such as creating an interactive calculator like the ones on https://investengine.com/savings-plans/ or https://investengine.com/costs/ (under the "managed" tab).

InvestEngine was launched in May 2019 by Gumtree co-founder Simon Crookall.
