### Senior Front‑End Engineer (React/Next.js)
Location: Remote or Dubai‑time‑zone friendly
Employment Type: Full‑time Remote
#### About the role
We’re building a next‑generation iGaming platform that seamlessly integrates Slotigator and SoftSwiss content under a single, lightning‑fast web experience. As our Senior Front‑End Engineer, you’ll own the browser layer end‑to‑end—from performance‑budgeted components to CI/CD on Vercel—working closely with design, product, and backend teams to ship features that thrill players at scale.
#### What you’ll do
* Architect & ship React/Next.js features
* Build UI and data flows using Server Components, App Router, and edge‑friendly APIs.
* Apply smart code‑splitting & lazy‑loading to keep first contentful paint razor‑thin.
* State management that scales
* Design stores and slices with Zustand and Redux Toolkit; choose the right tool for the job, keep them type‑safe with RTK Query or custom middleware.
* Styling & theming
* Craft responsive, accessible interfaces with Tailwind CSS, tailwind‑merge, and vanilla CSS modules.
* Maintain a consistent design‑token system supporting white‑label skins for multiple brands.
* Performance & quality
* Own Core Web Vitals; leverage next/image, dynamic imports, and progressive hydration.
* Write robust tests and follow our ESLint/Prettier/Husky workflow for spotless PRs.
* Ops & DX
* Configure build pipelines on Vercel, use preview deployments, analytics, and Speed Insights.
* Mentor mid‑level engineers, run architecture reviews, and advocate for best practices in TypeScript and functional programming.

Skills
What we’re looking for
* 5+ years professional JavaScript/TypeScript experience, with 3+ years in React and at least 1 year building production Next.js apps.
* Deep knowledge of SSR, SSG, ISR, and React Server Components; can articulate trade‑offs and pick the right option.
* Proven record optimizing bundle size, code‑splitting routes and components, and monitoring performance in production.
* Hands‑on with Vercel, CI/CD pipelines, and environment management (.env, Secret Manager).
* Comfort integrating REST/GraphQL/Socket endpoints and handling auth flows (Next‑Auth a plus).
* Strong UX sense and appreciation for accessibility (WCAG) and localization (i18next/next‑intl).
* Mentorship mindset, clear written & verbal communication in English.
Nice‑to‑haves
* Experience in iGaming, fintech, or other real‑time high‑traffic domains.
* Familiarity with WebAudio (Howler), animations (Framer Motion), or game‑like micro‑interactions.
* Knowledge of micro‑frontends, Module Federation, or alternative runtimes (Vite + React 18).
* Contribution to open‑source libraries or tech blogging.
Why you’ll love it here
* Product‑led culture with rapid release cycles and real customer feedback.
* Modern stack—no legacy rewrites. Greenfield features every sprint.
* Remote‑first, async‑friendly team across EMEA.
