Frontend Engineer

About the role

The Frontend Engineer builds responsive, accessible user interfaces for a high‑traffic digital product, translating product requirements and design systems into reliable experiences across desktop and mobile web. The role owns meaningful parts of the frontend architecture, from component design and state management to performance, testing, and production observability. Close collaboration with product designers, backend engineers, and product managers is central to delivering polished features without sacrificing maintainability.

Responsibilities

• Build and ship production web experiences using React, TypeScript, and modern CSS, with a focus on usability, accessibility, and responsive behavior.
• Develop reusable UI components and shared patterns within a documented design system.
• Integrate frontend applications with REST and GraphQL APIs, handling loading states, errors, caching, and authentication flows.
• Improve application performance through code splitting, rendering optimization, asset management, and Core Web Vitals monitoring.
• Write unit, integration, and end‑to‑end tests using tools such as Jest, React Testing Library, and Playwright.
• Collaborate with designers, backend engineers, and product managers to scope work, resolve technical trade‑offs, and deliver features incrementally.
• Participate in code reviews, frontend architecture decisions, production debugging, and continuous improvements to development tooling and CI/CD workflows.

Requirements

• 3–8 years of professional software engineering experience, including substantial experience building and maintaining production frontend applications.
• Strong proficiency with JavaScript or TypeScript and React; experience with Next.js or a comparable modern frontend framework.
• Demonstrated understanding of frontend architecture, state management, component composition, browser APIs, and responsive design.
• Experience integrating RESTful or GraphQL services and working effectively with authentication, asynchronous data, and error‑handling patterns.
• Hands‑on experience with automated testing, CI/CD workflows, Git‑based development, and code review practices.
• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, software engineering, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• Bonus: Experience with design systems, accessibility standards such as WCAG, mobile web optimization, React Native, observability tools, or performance profiling.
