Pixel Systems is hiring a Graduate Frontend Developer to support a core project for a leading London-based consultancy. We are building a suite of internal management tools to help their team coordinate complex operations and data streams. This position is a permanent, full-time role that is conducted entirely in a remote capacity. You will work alongside our senior developers to create functional, clean user interfaces that solve practical business problems for this client and others.
About Pixel Systems
Pixel Systems is a small, remote software agency and we do things a bit differently. We avoid the hype of the latest tech trends and shiny consumer apps. Instead, we focus on the systems that keep companies running, like admin panels, CRM integrations, and database migrations. Our clients come to us because we provide clear quotes, perform weekly demos, and deliver stable software that does exactly what it is supposed to do. We use a reliable stack of Node, React, and Postgres. Our goal is always the same: build something today that will still be working perfectly in five years without needing a total overhaul.
The Role
In this role, your daily work will revolve around building the parts of the software that people see and use. You will be turning requirements from our clients into working React components. This includes tasks like:
- Creating clear, readable data tables to replace complex, messy spreadsheets.
- Building forms for data entry that validate information before it hits the database.
- Ensuring that data from various APIs shows up correctly and consistently on the screen.
- Cleaning up older code to make it easier for our team to maintain in the long run.
- Writing documentation and recording short walkthrough videos for the features you build.
- Moving data between different interface layers to ensure a smooth user experience.
What we are looking for
We are looking for someone who has a solid grasp of the building blocks of the web: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. You do not need to be a seasoned expert, but you should have a basic understanding of how React components work and how to style them effectively. We value clarity over cleverness. This means we prefer simple, readable code over complex tricks that are hard for someone else to fix later. Because we are a fully remote company, you should be organized and comfortable managing your own tasks. Being okay with the non-flashy side of development is important here. We build tools for warehouse managers, operations teams, and consultants, not social networks or high-traffic landing pages.
Helpful background
While this is an entry level role, there are a few technical areas that will make your transition easier. We do not expect you to know everything, but familiarity with these items is a plus:
- Experience with GitHub or other version control tools for managing code changes.
- An understanding of how to connect a frontend interface to a backend API.
- Exposure to Node.js or Postgres from university projects or personal hobbies.
- A basic understanding of responsive design using CSS.
- Experience writing short, clear technical notes or documentation.
This position is paid and offers a salary that is attractive and competitive for the graduate market. We believe in compensating our team fairly for the work they do.
How we work
Working at Pixel Systems is straightforward and free of corporate layers. We do not have endless meetings or complicated management structures. We focus on shipping work that helps people do their jobs better every day. Because our team is fully remote, we value clear, written communication and trust everyone to handle their responsibilities without someone looking over their shoulder. Our team is made up of senior developers who are happy to guide a graduate who is eager to learn how professional agencies actually build and deliver software. You will see your work being used by the consultancy team almost as soon as you build it.
We take pride in being a no-drama agency. We are honest with our clients about what we can build and when it will be done. By joining our small team, you will learn how to build software that lasts and how to manage the lifecycle of a real-world project from start to finish. We provide a stable, calm working environment where you can focus on writing good code and growing your technical skills at a steady pace.
