Frontend Software Engineer

We’re looking for a Frontend Software Engineer to join our team and help craft the user experience that brings our platform to life. As a frontend engineer, you’ll build fast, intuitive interfaces, design polished interactions, and collaborate closely with product and design to deliver exceptional user experiences. You’ll be deeply technical, but also comfortable working cross-functionally — with product, design, and backend engineering teams. This is not a simple UI-assembly role — it’s about building real, production-grade interfaces, solving hard UX and performance challenges, and helping shape how our product looks and feels as we scale.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain high-quality user interfaces using Next.js and modern web technologies
• Develop frontend components, pages, and interactions that are fast, accessible, and visually polished
• Collaborate with product and design teams to translate requirements into intuitive user experiences
• Integrate frontend applications with backend APIs and real-time systems
• Optimize rendering, performance, caching, and frontend architecture for scale
• Ensure consistency and quality through component libraries, design systems, and best practices
• Participate in code reviews, design discussions, and feature planning
• Contribute to tooling, documentation, and developer experience improvements on the frontend

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in frontend engineering or a closely related role
• Strong proficiency with React and Next.js (server components, routing, data fetching)
• Deep understanding of modern JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML, and CSS
• Experience building production-quality interfaces in fast-paced environments
• Familiarity with frontend performance optimization, accessibility, and responsive design
• Comfortable integrating with APIs, real-time data sources, and backend systems
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills across modern frontend stacks
• Strong written and verbal communication skills

Skills

• Experience with design systems, component libraries, or UI frameworks (bonus)
• Familiarity with real-time or event-driven UI patterns (bonus)
• Experience with edge rendering, hybrid SSR/ISR patterns, or Next.js advanced features (bonus)
• Prior startup or scale-up experience (bonus)
• Contributions to open-source JavaScript or frontend tooling (bonus)

About the role

If you thrive on building beautiful, performant interfaces and care deeply about user experience — this role gives you wide ownership, meaningful impact, and the opportunity to help define the frontend foundation of our platform. You’ll shape the product experience from the outside in, backed by a highly collaborative team.
