Front-end Developer

ARNE is a UK-based apparel and footwear brand based in Birchwood Park, near Warrington. We design and develop all our products in the UK, working with trusted manufacturing partners across both the near and far east.

All our products are available directly to customers through ARNEclo.com, offering a seamless online shopping experience. We’re also proud to be stocked in Selfridges, both in-store and online, and we’ve recently opened our first permanent retail store at Liverpool ONE – a huge milestone for the brand.

Looking ahead, we have ambitious goals for the next decade, and the team firmly believes they’re all achievable. From launching new product categories and expanding internationally to investing in paid media, CRM, and growing our retail presence — the next chapter for ARNE is shaping up to be an exciting one. And this is only the beginning!

We’ve come a long way from starting out in Mum’s bungalow back in 2018 to our all-new, fully bespoke HQ. This space will be our home for at least the next 5–10 years, and while it’s not quite our style to shout too loudly, it’s here that we plan to reach our goals, take ARNE global, and further establish ourselves as a truly iconic UK brand.

We are looking for a Front-End Developer to join ARNE and help shape the digital experience for our customers. You'll be responsible for building and optimising customer-facing features across our website and app, with a focus on driving conversion, improving user experience and supporting our ambitious growth plans.

• Troubleshoot and resolve front end bugs and issues
• Collaborate with our dev agency on larger scope work, picking up handover where needed
• Contribute to platform strategy discussions (e.g. theme development, headless considerations)  

• Strong experience with HTML, CSS/SCSS and JavaScript, with the ability to build high-quality, performant user experiences.
