In brief
**Overview** This is a permanent Senior Front-End Developer role based in Johannesburg (JHB), offering a cost to company salary of R1.2m per annum, negotiable based on experience and ability. The position is with a company seeking a developer comfortable working within an existing production codebase and capable of building safe, usable interfaces in a clinically sensitive environment. The role prioritizes clarity, stability, and thoughtful implementation over flashy UI work. The project currently uses Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, local API proxying to orchestration services, Docker-based backend services, and FHIR-derived JSON payloads. This opportunity is facilitated by the recruitment agency E-Merge. **What you will do** * Work in an existing production codebase. * Build safe, usable interfaces in a clinically sensitive environment. * Implement solutions with a focus on clarity, stability, and thoughtfulness. **Requirements (from the original advert)** * Strong experience with React and TypeScript. * Strong experience building applications with Next.js. * Good understanding of component architecture and state management. * Experience consuming and normalizing complex API responses. * Strong CSS and Tailwind CSS skills. * Experience building responsive application interfaces. * Comfortable debugging browser, network, and server-side rendering issues. * Familiarity with Git workflows. * Comfortable working with local development servers and Docker-backed APIs. * Clear communication around assumptions, blockers, and trade-offs. **Who should apply** The ideal candidate is a developer who reads and understands existing code before making changes, keeps UI changes scoped, intentional, and maintainable, and preserves important clinical context instead of over-simplifying interfaces. They avoid decorative UI patterns that obscure important information, value clarity and usability over visual noise, and can identify missing, duplicated, or incorrectly shaped data. This individual collaborates effectively with backend developers, uses TypeScript types as enforceable contracts rather than decoration, tests critical data transformations and rendering assumptions, and can translate vague product requirements into safe, practical interfaces. **Deadline** Not specified **Reference** Original posting: https://www.jobmail.co.za/jobs/it-computer/other-it-computer/south-africa/senior-front-end-developer-react-next.js-jhb-r1.2m-pa-id-7501976 Source: jobmail
