Senior Consultant: Frontend Developer

For a team to thrive, it needs collaboration and room for healthy, respectful debate. Senior Frontend Developers are the technologists who cultivate this environment while driving teams toward delivering on an aspirational tech vision and acting as mentors for more junior-level consultants. You will leverage deep technical knowledge to solve complex business problems and proactively assess your team's health, code quality and nonfunctional pipelines.

Senior Frontend Developers are the main drivers and champions of those practices in delivery teams, exemplifying and demonstrating what "good" looks like from a Thoughtworks engineering perspective.
