We’re looking for a frontend engineer who’s passionate about building fast, intuitive, and visually engaging web applications. You’ll collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and backend engineers to craft user experiences that feel seamless and perform beautifully at scale.

What You’ll Do

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design and implement modern web interfaces that drive core product experiences.
• Build and maintain reusable, component-based UIs using React-style frameworks and TypeScript.
• Contribute to code reviews, architecture discussions, and overall frontend best practices with an eye for performance and maintainability.
• Take ownership of core UI systems and ensure they remain performant, accessible, and easy to extend.
• Work across the stack when needed—integrating with backend services (e.g. Axios-based connectors) and helping design efficient APIs.
• Partner with the design team to develop intuitive, legible UX and interaction patterns that enhance user experience.
• Continuously refine the codebase to reduce technical debt and improve reliability.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a relevant field.
• 2+ years professional experience with TypeScript and JavaScript, particularly in a React-style component architecture.
• Strong understanding of HTML/CSS, including responsive design, layout systems, specificity, and accessibility.
• Hands-on experience working with Axios or similar backend connectors, and an understanding of how frontends interact with APIs.
• A collaborative mindset with a passion for shipping well-crafted, user-centered features.

Requirements

• Experience with browser APIs and frontend performance profiling/optimization.
• Familiarity with unit testing, API design, and maintaining large-scale UI systems.
• A track record of leading technical initiatives or mentoring other engineers.
• Contributions to internal frameworks or tooling that improved developer efficiency or product reliability.
