• Contribute to technical discussions and decisions specifically related to frontend architecture, helping to shape product requirements and align team efforts toward a cohesive vision.
• Work extensively with modern web technologies and UI frameworks, staying abreast of new developments and applying them to solve complex challenges.
• Uphold high frontend engineering standards, contributing to the development of modular, performant, and future-proof systems.
• Explore and apply new tools and approaches, including the effective use of AI, to improve frontend development efficiency and enhance product capabilities.

You have:

• 4+ years of dedicated experience building complex, high-performance frontend applications.
• 3+ years of in-depth experience working with modern web UI technologies and frameworks (e.g., React, Angular, Vue), with a strong understanding of their ecosystems.
• Proven experience with state management libraries, build tools, and testing frameworks commonly used in large-scale frontend development.
• Solid understanding of web performance optimization techniques, accessibility standards, and cross-browser compatibility.
• Familiarity with backend concepts and API integration (RESTful APIs, GraphQL), and the ability to collaborate effectively with backend engineers.
• 1+ year of experience leading significant frontend projects or modules, demonstrating technical leadership and mentorship.
• A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.

You are:

• User-Centric: While deeply technical, you consistently prioritize the needs of the user (whether internal engineers or other stakeholders), ensuring the frontend solutions are intuitive, efficient, and delightful to use.
• A Creative Problem-Solver: You take a creative and strategic approach to solving complex UI/UX challenges, simplifying difficult problems and bringing in fresh ideas to enhance the user experience.
• Versatile: You are adaptable and resourceful, comfortable learning and applying new frontend technologies and patterns as needed to tackle diverse challenges.
• Team-Oriented: You are a strong collaborator with excellent communication skills, able to work effectively across product, design, and engineering teams, provide constructive feedback, and contribute to a stronger team dynamic.
• An Innovator: Passionate about leveraging cutting-edge frontend technologies to create intuitive tools that enhance user workflows and drive business insights.
• AI-Driven: You are enthusiastic about exploring how AI can improve frontend development workflows and user-facing features, and are already using AI to enhance your productivity, though specific AI expertise is not strictly required.
