Junior Frontend Engineer

Summary

We’re a small team inside TransPerfect building a massive internal platform—a low-code application builder that’s powering how our entire company operates. It’s ambitious. It’s complex. It’s not “done.” And that’s exactly why it’s fun.

What We’re Building (and Why It’s Kind of a Big Deal)

• Develop and evolve a drag-and-drop app builder used across the company
• Collaborate and shape frontend architecture decisions (React / Next.js)
• Implement highly interactive, state-heavy UIs
• Create component systems that non-developers can configure and use
• Balance performance, usability, and flexibility in a complex environment

The Kind of Engineer This Role Needs

• Figures things out without a playbook

• Doesn’t panic when priorities shift or structure evolves
• Wants a career

Core Technical Stuff

• React / Next.js (you’ve built and deployed projects)
• TypeScript: you understand the why of types
• Modern CSS: Experience with Tailwind and/or MUI (we use both)
• State Management: Understand how data flow through a complex application

Design Mindset

• Care about UX, not just functionality
• Think about how users actually interact with systems
• Understand tradeoffs between flexibility and clarity
• Comfortable shaping UX—not just implementing it

The Basics (Still Required)

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience
• Portfolio/Git account that shows you’ve built things
• Strong performance mindset
