Why Not Join Us Here At Simplify!

If you decide that this UX Developer position is the role for you, then you’ll be joining the UK’s largest group of property services, a business that is constantly looking to improve, and one that offers both exciting challenges and job satisfaction.

What You'll Be Doing

We are seeking a user-focused UX Developer to join our UX Development Team. This role will be responsible for the delivery of intuitive, responsive, and consistent user experiences across a variety of web applications.

You will work across a range of web applications, developing and maintaining consistent, accessible, and responsive user interfaces using modern frontend technologies and development practices. Working closely with developers, product owners, and business stakeholders, you will help translate user requirements into effective frontend solutions and contribute to discussions around application behaviour and user experience.

We can offer the successful candidate the opportunity to work with modern technologies, develop expertise in usability and accessibility, and grow their skills within a collaborative development environment. While experience in the legal or conveyancing sector is not required, an interest in learning about the conveyancing process and supporting systems relevant to our sector and business is essential.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain modern, responsive user interfaces for internal and client-facing web applications.
• Work collaboratively with developers, business stakeholders, and users to deliver intuitive and consistent user experiences.
• Assist in translating business and user requirements into wireframes, interface layouts, and implemented user experiences.
• Contribute to the design and implementation of reusable UI components, frontend standards, and shared styling approaches.
• Assist in improving the usability, accessibility, and consistency of existing applications across the business.
• Support and enhance applications built using technologies including Blazor, React, Angular, and related frontend frameworks.
• Work with APIs and backend services to integrate frontend functionality with wider business systems.
• Participate in technical discussions, code reviews, and knowledge sharing within the development team.
• Support and maintain existing systems, including contributing to the modernisation of legacy applications where appropriate.
• Keep up to date with emerging frontend technologies, tools, and development practices.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of frontend development processes and user experience standards.
