Job Requirements
- Deep expertise in React with modern compiler-driven patterns (functional components, hooks, performance optimizations, server-side rendering, hydration, and advanced state management).
- Proficiency in TypeScript, with experience developing and maintaining enterprise-scale applications.
- Advanced CSS knowledge (Tailwind, SCSS, CSS-in-JS, animations, and handling browser quirks).
- Familiarity with contemporary frontend tooling (e.g., React Query/TanStack ecosystem, Tailwind or design-token-based styling, modern build tools like Vite). Experience working in monorepos (e.g., Turbo, Nx, pnpm workspaces) is a plus too.
- Solid frontend architecture fundamentals: performance, accessibility, responsive design, testing, and maintainability
- Experience optimizing frontend performance (lazy loading, code-splitting, caching strategies, Lighthouse optimizations, etc.).
- Experience working on complex product flows such as e-commerce, travel, marketplace, or fintech applications.
- Ability to balance shipping product features with long-term platform thinking in multi-brand or white-label environments
- Familiarity with SSR and static site generation (e.g., Next.js) for SEO-friendly experiences.
- A passion for writing testable code knowing what to test, what not to test, and what kinds of tests matter in front-end applications.
- Bonus: Full-stack engineers with a frontend tilt are very welcome, especially those comfortable collaborating across API design, backend systems and cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, etc.). This is a nice to have, but not mandatory.
