At our client, they’re on a mission to build the technology that powers the restaurants of tomorrow.

To deliver on this vision, they design and build digital tools used by two key audiences:

• Customers: They aim to create a delightful ordering experience that makes their brands stand out and keeps people coming back.

As they scale, they are looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer to strengthen their frontend team. You’ll help build products that are critical to the success of their internal teams and external partners.

• Own complex features end-to-end, from scoping to release and iteration.
• Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and backend engineers in an agile, impact-oriented team.

• Enrich their shared component library in partnership with the product design team.
• Champion performance, accessibility, and usability across the frontend.
• Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code; regularly review code from peers.

Mentorship & Impact

• Help improve their testing and monitoring strategies to maintain high quality at scale.
• Take initiative on technical topics and advocate for improvements across the frontend stack.

• Expo
• TypeScript
• Vitest & React Testing Library
• Storybook
• Vue.js (legacy)
• Python + FastAPI
• Google Cloud and Sonarqube for CI/CD, Sentry for monitoring

What are we looking for?

• Experience: At least 5 years of professional experience in frontend development, including at least 2 years with React Native.
• Autonomy & Initiative: Comfortable taking ownership of features and driving technical topics proactively.
• Collaboration: Proven experience working in cross-functional teams and communicating with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Code Quality: Strong grasp of testing, performance, and modern frontend best practices.
• Curiosity & Growth Mindset: Passion for learning, sharing knowledge, and staying up-to-date with frontend trends.

Experience with Storybook, custom component library, and Vue is a plus.
