Key Responsibilities

• Architect and build production React applications
• Component design, state management, routing, and data fetching with TypeScript throughout
• Translate product requirements and Figma designs into polished, accessible, performant UIs that delight users
• Own the front-end layer of full-stack features: collaborate with Node.js backend engineers, consume APIs cleanly, and surface data with clarity
• Build and maintain shared component libraries with Storybook
• Writing components others will actually want to reuse
• Instrument and optimize performance: Core Web Vitals, bundle analysis, lazy loading, memoization, and render profiling
• Write meaningful tests with Vis, React Testing Library, and Playwright that catch real problems, not just cover lines
• Integrate AI-powered UI patterns streaming responses, generative content displays, real-time feedback loops as these become features in client products
• Use AI tools (Copilot, Claude, etc.) actively in your workflow to accelerate development, code review, and documentation
• Participate in design reviews, architecture discussions, and code reviews raising the bar across the front-end team

Requirements

• 3+ years of professional front-end engineering experience with React and TypeScript you think in components and types by default
• Deep knowledge of modern React: hooks, context, concurrent features, Suspense, and performance patterns
• Strong TypeScript fluency you write types that document intent and catch bugs at compile time, not runtime
• Experience with Next.js or similar SSR/SSG frameworks, including routing, data fetching strategies, and deployment considerations
• Solid grasp of CSS: layout models, responsive design, animation, and at least one utility-first approach (Tailwind preferred)
• Comfort consuming REST and GraphQL APIs and handling async state cleanly (React Query, SWR, or similar)
• Working knowledge of Node.js enough to read backend code, debug integrations, and occasionally contribute small API changes
• Demonstrated use of AI tools in your daily development workflow you can speak concretely to how they've changed how you work
• Excellent async written communication in English you articulate front-end trade-offs clearly to non-engineers

Nice to have

• Hands-on experience with Algolia (highly preferred)
• Experience with Next.js, React Server Components, or micro-frontend architectures
• Experience with message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS)
• Familiarity with serverless or edge runtimes
• Experience with Docker and containerized environments
• Exposure to Kubernetes or infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, Pulumi)
• Experience with domain-driven design or clean architecture principles
• Experience mentoring engineers or contributing to open-source projects
