What you’ll be doing

Building and evolving intuitive, high-performance user interfaces for space-related products

Developing scalable frontend applications using modern React and Next.js patterns

Working with reusable component libraries as well as large, mission-critical screens

Collaborating closely with backend engineers and UX designers to deliver end-to-end features

Helping shape frontend architecture and engineering best practice

Debugging, refining and enhancing existing functionality

Mentoring and supporting other developers within the team

What you’ll bring

Strong experience with React and modern frontend development (ideally 2+ years commercial experience)

Confidence using TypeScript in production systems

Prior experience with Next.JS is beneficial

Experience working with Node.js and API-driven architectures

Experience with CI/CD pipelines and version control (Git)

An appreciation for good UI/UX and data-heavy interfaces

A thoughtful, senior-level approach to collaboration and problem solving

Bonus points for

Experience working on complex or technical platforms (scientific, engineering or data-led)

Exposure to the space sector, aerospace, or mission-critical systems

Backend experience or familiarity with Java-based services

A background working in agile, cross-disciplinary teams

What’s in it for you

A solid salary up to 45k + great benefits

Strong pension contribution

Enhanced family-friendly and sick pay benefits

Excellent holidays (generous allowance + BH)

Employee ownership / share participation scheme

Ongoing investment in learning, conferences and skill development

A collaborative, inclusive culture where engineers influence both product and direction

The chance to work on software that directly supports space missions and satellite operations

If you’re a Senior Frontend Developer who wants to work on software for space, not just another web app - this role offers the chance to do exactly that.

How Many Cloud Computing Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Cloud Job?

If you are aiming for a role in cloud computing, it can feel like the skills list never ends. One job advert asks for AWS, Terraform and Kubernetes. Another mentions Azure DevOps, PowerShell and ARM templates. A third throws in Docker, Python, Linux, CI/CD, monitoring tools and security frameworks. It is no surprise that many cloud job seekers feel overwhelmed before they even apply. Here is the reality most cloud hiring managers agree on: they are not hiring you because you know every cloud tool. They are hiring you because you understand cloud concepts, can design reliable systems, manage costs, keep things secure and support real workloads. Tools matter, but only when they support outcomes. So how many cloud computing tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most roles, the answer is far fewer than you think. This article explains what employers really expect, which tools are essential, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look capable and employable rather than scattered.
