Front End Developer
No one size fits all when it comes to finding the perfect sleep experience for customers and that’s why at Bensons for Beds we put Sleep Wellness™ at the heart of everything we do!
Join our product and web teams as a Front End Developer, helping to design and build fast, accessible and engaging customer‑facing experiences across our e‑commerce and content platforms. You’ll work closely with UX, design, back‑end engineers and commercial colleagues to turn ideas into robust, user‑centred interfaces. Full training and support will be provided so you can quickly become familiar with our systems, patterns and ways of working, and make an immediate contribution.
Day‑to‑day you’ll be hands‑on writing clean, maintainable HTML, CSS and JavaScript, building responsive components and pages that perform well across devices and assistive technologies. You’ll collaborate on design systems and component libraries, implement A/B tests and telemetry hooks, and troubleshoot cross‑browser issues. Pragmatic engineering, attention to detail and a willingness to pair with colleagues to solve problems will be important to keep our site fast, accessible and conversion‑focused.
We operate across peak trading periods which include evenings and weekends to support campaign launches and promotions, so flexibility to contribute during these windows will be required. We value healthy work–life balance and aim to be fair with working patterns where possible, while recognising the need to support the business during key trading moments.
What we’re dreaming of seeing:
We’re looking for a Front End Developer who is customer obsessed, quality driven and pragmatic. You should be able to translate designs into performant, accessible code and interpret performance and behavioural data to prioritise improvements. A proactive, collaborative attitude will help you thrive.
Ideally you’ll have experience with modern front‑end tooling and frameworks (for example React or similar), solid knowledge of semantic HTML and CSS (including responsive layouts), and competence in JavaScript (ES6+). Familiarity with build pipelines, code versioning (Git), performance optimisation, accessibility best practice (WCAG) and basic SEO is desirable. Strong communication skills are essential, as you’ll pair with designers, product owners and back‑end colleagues to deliver to deadlines and trading objectives.
The best results come from being yourself…
We welcome applications from people with diverse backgrounds and perspectives. At our company you’ll be encouraged to bring your authentic self to work and contribute to an inclusive culture where everyone is treated with respect.
