Junior Frontend Engineer

Salary: £35,000 - £45,000

Why Midnite? 

Midnite is a next-generation betting platform that is built for today’s fandom. We are a collective of engineers and designers who all share a passion for building the best sportsbook & casino experience possible, allowing our fans to feel closer to the games they love through the rush of winning money. 

Unlike the alternatives, Midnite doesn't feel like a website built two decades ago. Instead, it's a cutting-edge creation, designed and constructed from the ground up with the latest technologies. Crafting an experience that's truly intuitive, immersive, and immediately understandable is no walk in the park, but we thrive on the challenge. We believe we're on the brink of creating something truly awesome.

What will you do?

We’re looking for a Junior Frontend Engineer who is eager to learn, grow, and contribute in an Agile collaborative environment. You’ll work closely with frontend engineers, UI designers, and our product team to build new features against our in-house REST API.

In this role, you’ll write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code, while continuously improving your technical skills and engineering mindset. You’ll gain hands-on experience working on real-world features that ship to production daily and will be exposed to modern frontend technologies.

This role is perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-paced startup environment, enjoys solving interesting UI challenges, and is excited about building seamless, high-performance user experiences. You'll have the opportunity to deepen your expertise in Vue 3, TypeScript, Tailwind, testing frameworks like Vitest and Cypress, while also learning about frontend performance, accessibility, and UX best practices. Whilst prior experience with these tools is beneficial, it’s not a requirement—what matters most is your commitment to writing high-quality code, learning continuously, and embracing modern development practices.

We are a fully remote engineering team, with members across the UK and Europe. We value collaboration, mentorship, and knowledge sharing, ensuring you’ll have plenty of opportunities to learn from experienced teammates. To stay connected, we host regular in-person meetups in London every few months.

• 1+ years of professional frontend development experience with Vue, React, or Angular, ideally using TypeScript.
• Strong understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript fundamentals, with the ability to translate designs into high-quality, responsive UI components.

• Ability to write clean, efficient, and well-documented code, following best practices and coding standards.
