We are seeking an experienced Front-end Developer to join our team, focusing on building our Excel Add-in solutions and web portal platform. You will be responsible for developing sophisticated data manipulation interfaces using TypeScript within the Microsoft Office Add-in ecosystem while also creating intuitive web applications where clients interact with their data using AI.

You will work closely with our back-end team to ensure seamless integration with our AWS services while delivering exceptional user experiences in both Excel and our React-based web portal.

The Role
We’re looking for a Senior JavaScript / TypeScript Developer who thrives at the intersection of elegant UI development and advanced Excel Add-in engineering. You’ll lead development on two core user-facing components:
Our AI-driven web platform, built using JavaScript, React and TypeScript
Our Excel Add-in, deployed internally within Microsoft 365, integrating directly with our platform APIs
This role is perfect for someone who enjoys building robust user experiences that bridge traditional productivity tools (like Excel) with modern, responsive web apps—and who is excited by the opportunity to work with AI and financial data.

Key Responsibilities
Design, build, and maintain high-performance Excel Add-ins using TypeScript and Office.js, tailored for internal Microsoft 365 deployment
Develop and scale web interfaces our AI solutions, data visualization, and reporting
Collaborate with backend engineers to connect APIs, manage state, and streamline data integration
Ensure excellent UX in both browser and Excel environments, with intuitive, performant, and consistent interfaces
Contribute to architectural decisions, component libraries, and development best practices
Support cross-team coordination around security, testing, deployment, and CI/CD pipelines

What We're Looking For
Professional front-end development experience with JavaScript, React and TypeScript
Strong expertise in modern UI development practices
Proven experience building and deploying Office Add-ins, especially within Microsoft 365 for internal enterprise use
Deep knowledge of the Excel JavaScript API, object models, and data handling within workbook constraints
Comfortable integrating with REST APIs, handling authentication flows (e.g., OAuth), and managing async data interactions
Strong understanding of front-end performance optimization, state management, and cross-environment compatibility
Experience working in Agile teams, with a proactive and ownership-driven mindset

Bonus Points For
Experience with data-intensive applications or financial tools
Familiarity with data visualization libraries (e.g., D3.js, Chart.js, Recharts)
Knowledge of Microsoft Graph API and M365 deployment configurations
Exposure to AWS services (Lambda, API Gateway, Cognito, etc.)
Understanding of AI and LLM patterns for chat, collaboration or search interfaces

What We Offer
Work with cutting-edge AI and data technologies.
Collaborate with a small, high-calibre, mission-driven team
Opportunities for professional growth and development.
Flexible work hours and remote work options.
Engaging and challenging projects that make a real impact to our sector.
Fast-paced, deeply impactful work with real users and rapid iterations

This role is suited to candidates who:
Are based in the UK and able to work effectively with a London-based team
Have the unrestricted right to work in the UK – note that we are currently not able to offer visa sponsorship
Bring proven experience in both modern UI development and Excel Add-in engineering in data-centric or enterprise environments
