We're hiring a Senior Front-End Engineer (SDE III) to take full ownership of the user interface layer across our digital products. This is a front-end engineering role focused on scalable architecture, performance, accessibility, and component reusability, not just basic UI development. You'll drive front-end strategy, shape our design system, and collaborate with product, design, and backend teams to deliver high-quality user experiences. You'll also mentor engineers and set best practices that elevate code quality and team velocity.
Responsibilities
- Own the architecture and evolution of the front-end codebase with scalable, modular, and maintainable design patterns.
- Build reusable components and maintain a shared design system for consistency across products.
- Drive improvements in page performance, load time, and interaction responsiveness.
- Ensure accessibility (WCAG compliance), cross-browser compatibility, and mobile responsiveness.
- Implement efficient state management using appropriate libraries or custom patterns.
- Translate Figma designs into pixel-perfect, production-ready UI with strong attention to detail.
- Set up and maintain front-end testing infrastructure unit, integration, visual, and E2E tests.
- Manage front-end build optimization and contribute to CI/CD pipelines for deployment automation.
- Monitor performance and usability through observability tools and resolve front-end issues proactively.
- Collaborate with backend engineers to align API contracts and improve integration layers.
- Mentor junior developers, lead code reviews, and promote a culture of clean, scalable front-end practices.
Requirements
- Strong experience with React.js, TypeScript, and Good to Have - optionally Next.js or similar modern frameworks.
- Proficient in state management tools (Redux, Zustand, React Query, or equivalent).
- Solid understanding of responsive design, modern CSS techniques (TailwindCSS, SASS, or CSS Modules).
- Experience working with design systems and UI libraries; familiarity with tools like Storybook.
- Deep understanding of web performance metrics (Lighthouse, Core Web Vitals) and tuning strategies.
- Knowledge of accessibility standards and implementation best practices (ARIA, semantic HTML).
- Exposure to API integration (REST/GraphQL) and performance optimization at the network boundary.
- Hands-on experience with CI/CD tools for front-end workflows (e. g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI).
- Familiarity with frontend observability tools (e. g., Sentry, Datadog RUM, LogRocket).
- Understanding of Git workflows, environment-based configuration, and deployment automation.
- Understanding of how different backend systems work and willingness to explore and work in them if required.
- Strong problem-solving skills, code debugging ability, and a keen eye for design alignment.
