About The Role

We're looking for a Software Engineer (Frontend) proficient in React, Next.js, and Node.js to join our engineering team. You'll independently own complex feature work end-to-end, serve as an emerging technical voice, mentor junior engineers, and contribute to team-level technical design — all while building growing cross-stack awareness beyond your frontend specialization.

Autonomy

  • Independently own complex, ambiguous feature work with minimal guidance; proactively remove blockers
  • Self-direct learning to close skill gaps and navigate ambiguity by focusing on impact
  • Use and help improve team tools/processes (JIRA, Confluence, CI/CD)

Technical Skills

  • Apply deep React, Next.js, and Node.js expertise to make sound feature-level technology decisions
  • Handle complex state management, performance optimization, accessibility (WCAG), and design-system contributions
  • Debug cross-layer issues and collaborate across frontend, backend, and mobile boundaries
  • Proactively identify and address technical debt

Collaboration

  • Lead design discussions and code reviews; advocate for best practices
  • Communicate technical trade-offs to technical and non-technical stakeholders alike
  • Build strong cross-team relationships; actively engage in sprint ceremonies and retros

Innovation

  • Propose solutions to non-obvious engineering challenges
  • Help define team engineering standards and identify architecture improvement opportunities
  • Stay resilient and adaptable amid change

Observability

  • Build observability into features from the start; lead monitoring improvements
  • Instrument Core Web Vitals and real-user monitoring (RUM); work within defined SLOs
  • Recommend monitoring improvements based on production data

Cloud Skills

  • Design and deploy cloud architectures (primarily GCP ) for feature work
  • Identify cost/reliability improvements and apply advanced security patterns
  • Help shape team cloud standards

Leadership & Stakeholder Management

  • Serve as technical lead on medium-complexity projects
  • Drive measurable process improvements; mentor junior (GSR5) engineers

Contribute to PI planning and sprint commitment accuracy

  • 4–6 years of professional experience in front-end/web development
  • Strong hands-on experience with React , Next.js , and Node.js
  • Track record of owning complex, multi-component features end-to-end
  • Experience writing automated tests (Jest, React Testing Library, Cypress, etc.)
  • Solid grasp of state management, performance optimization, and accessibility (WCAG)
  • Working knowledge of cloud platforms, ideally GCP
  • Experience with CI/CD, JIRA, and Confluence
  • Familiarity with observability practices (Core Web Vitals, RUM)
  • Strong communication skills; mentoring experience a plus
  • Growing understanding of backend/API design and cross-stack debugging
