• Collaborate closely with designers to translate design systems and compositions into polished, production-ready interfaces.
• Ensure code quality through strong engineering practices, code reviews, and testing.
• Continuously improve standards and best practices across the front-end codebase.
• Communicate technical decisions and tradeoffs clearly with engineers and stakeholders.
• Join a collaborative, high-trust team where engineers take pride in what they build and actively shape the platform together.

Qualifications

• A minimum of 10 years of software front-end development experience.
• Senior-level experience building and maintaining production web applications.
• Proficiency in TypeScript and React, with experience using modern styling approaches such as Tailwind CSS.
• Proven experience building UI component libraries or design systems used in production.
• Strong understanding of accessibility (a11y), responsive design, and the ability to translate functional and behavioral requirements into reusable UI components.
• Experience with modern React tooling and patterns (e.g., React Router, TanStack).
• Familiarity with server-rendered React and modern full-stack architectures.
• Experience building APIs with TypeScript (e.g., Express, Hono, or similar).
• Comfortable working alongside backend systems, with a willingness to contribute
• Brings curiosity and enthusiasm for modern React development and enjoys exploring new capabilities as the front-end ecosystem evolves.
• Comfortable working in a Git-based workflow with CI/CD pipelines.
