Software Engineer - Front End (React) Full Description
At Pearson, our technology supports learning, skills, and credentials used by individuals and organisations around the world. Platforms like Credly and Faethm help people understand, demonstrate, and plan for skills â from digital credentials to workforce intelligence.
We're looking for a Software Engineer with a strong frontâend focus to help shape and deliver highâquality, scalable web experiences across these platforms. While you'll be aligned to Credly and Faethm, your work will contribute to broader engineering standards and practices across Pearson, influencing how we build and scale frontâend applications globally.
This is a frontâend engineering role with real ownership, impact, and room to shape how things are done.

You'll play a key role in designing and delivering modern, userâfocused frontâend experiences.
Design, build, and maintain scalable React applications using modern JavaScript/TypeScript

Build and evolve reusable UI libraries, tools, and frameworks
Ensure high standards for performance, accessibility, and usability
Integrate frontâend applications with backend services via RESTful APIs
Optimise applications for speed, reliability, and longâterm maintainability
Collaborate closely with Product, Design, and Engineering stakeholders

What we're looking for
You don't need to tick every box, but strong frontâend depth is essential.
5+ years' experience in professional frontâend development
Strong experience with React, TypeScript, and modern JavaScript (ES6+)
Experience with state management (e.g. Redux or similar)
Solid understanding of frontend architecture, performance optimisation, and design patterns

Why this role is different
You'll work on platforms with realâworld impact, used by learners, employers, and institutions
You'll help shape shared frontend standards, not just ship isolated features
You'll influence how frontâend engineering is done across Pearson, not just within one product
You'll be trusted to balance handsâon delivery with technical leadership and mentoring
What you can expect
A collaborative, supportive engineering culture
Meaningful technical challenges with global reach
