Job Title:Senior JavaScript / TypeScript Developer – UI (AI Interfaces) & Excel Add-in

Location:London - (Hybrid)

Type:Full-time


About Us:Cornspring is a dynamic start-up developing Family Office services through a unique combination of innovative technology and data management excellence. Our platform leverages state-of-the-art generative AI and large language models to provide unparalleled insights and efficiency to Family Office investment and accounting data.


We pride ourselves on fostering a collaborative and inclusive work environment where we prize creativity, excellence in engineering, a powerful customer focus and attention to problem-solving through great design.


Job Description:

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. This role requires deep understanding of data visualization, REST API integration, and responsive design principles. 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:

  1. Our AI-driven web platform, built using JavaScript, React and TypeScript
  2. 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

10 AI Recruitment Agencies in the UK You Should Know (2025 Job‑Seeker Guide)

Generative‑AI hype has translated into real hiring: Lightcast recorded +57 % year‑on‑year growth in UK adverts mentioning “machine learning”, “LLM” or “gen‑AI” during Q1 2025. Yet supply still lags. Roughly 18,000 core AI professionals work in the UK, but monthly live vacancies hover around 1,400–1,600. That mismatch makes specialist recruiters invaluable—opening stealth vacancies, advising on salary bands and fast‑tracking interview loops. But many tech agencies sprinkle “AI” on their website without an active desk. To save you time, we vetted 50 + consultancies and kept only those with: A registered UK head office (verified via Companies House). A named AI/Machine‑Learning or Data practice.

How to Find Hidden AI Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like BCS, IET & the Turing Society

Stop Scrolling Job Boards and Start Tapping the Real AI Market Every week a new headline announces millions of pounds flowing into artificial-intelligence research, defence initiatives, or health-tech pilots. Read the news and you could be forgiven for thinking that AI vacancies must be everywhere—just grab your laptop, open LinkedIn, and pick a role. Yet anyone who has hunted seriously for an AI job in the United Kingdom knows the truth is messier. A large percentage of worthwhile AI positions—especially specialist or senior posts—never appear on public boards. They emerge inside university–industry consortia, defence labs, NHS data-science teams, climate-tech start-ups, and venture studios. Most are filled through referral or conversation long before a recruiter drafts a formal advert. If you wait for a vacancy link, you are already at the back of the queue. The surest way to beat that dynamic is to embed yourself in the professional bodies and grassroots communities where the work is conceived. The UK has a dense network of such organisations: the Chartered Institute for IT (BCS); the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) with its Artificial Intelligence Technical Network; the Alan Turing Institute and its student-driven Turing Society; the Royal Statistical Society (RSS); the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and its Mechatronics, Informatics & Control Group; public-funding engines like UK Research and Innovation (UKRI); and an ecosystem of Slack channels and Meetup groups that trade genuine, timely intel. This article is a practical, step-by-step guide to using those networks. You will learn: Why professional bodies matter more than algorithmic job boards Exactly which special-interest groups (SIGs) and technical networks to join How to turn CPD events into informal interviews How to monitor grant databases so you hear about posts months before they exist Concrete scripts, portfolio tactics, and outreach rhythms that convert visibility into offers Follow the playbook and you move from passive applicant to insider—the colleague who hears about a role before it is written down.
