- Strong with build tools (Webpack, Vite, Turborepo), bundling, and optimization strategies
- Ability to design UI frameworks, component libraries, and cross-platform solutions
- Solid understanding of REST, GraphQL, caching, and client-side data architecture
- Strong debugging skills and experience resolving production-scale issues
- Experience with automated testing (Jest, RTL, Cypress) and CI/CD workflows
- Comfortable working from office
Good to Have:
- Experience with Next.js, micro-frontends, or SSR architectures
- Worked with design systems (Storybook, MUI, Chakra, Radix)
- Contribution to open-source projects or internal engineering frameworks
- Knowledge of web security, accessibility, and SEO optimization
- Background in mentoring engineering teams or owning cross-functional initiatives
Why Join Us:
- Architect the core frontend foundation of a product used globally
