Senior Frontend Engineer (React / NextJS)

DVT is a software development consultancy with over 25 years of delivery experience, working with leading organisations across financial services, telecoms, and retail — both in South Africa and globally. Our developers are embedded in complex, high-stakes projects where the quality of the work genuinely matters. You will work alongside experienced practitioners, on real problems, with technologies that are current.

Learning is a serious part of how we operate. DVT runs internal technical sessions, supports developers who want to speak at and attend industry events, and maintains a culture where sharing knowledge is expected — not just encouraged. If you want to grow, the environment is set up for it.

We are looking for a Senior Front-End Developer with a React focus to join our front-end development team. You will have 5–8+ years of hands-on experience delivering production web applications, with strong TypeScript skills and a track record of writing clean, well-tested code.
In this role you will take end-to-end ownership of frontend features — from translating UI/UX designs into accessible, performant interfaces through to testing, code review, and post-deployment monitoring. You will work closely with backend developers, designers, and product stakeholders, and be expected to contribute to technical decisions and actively support the growth of developers around you.

We are looking for someone with genuine depth in React — hooks, state management, component architecture, and performance optimisation — who understands the browser, takes accessibility seriously, and approaches their work with the same care whether or not anyone is watching.
