About the role

We are hiring one Senior Frontend Engineer who can take a product from blank repo to production and keep it fast, maintainable, and pleasant to use. You will set frontend standards on client engagements, make architecture calls that age well, and partner closely with backend engineers on API contracts and end-to-end delivery.

You thrive when performance, accessibility, and craft are non-negotiable—not afterthoughts.

What you will do

Own frontend architecture for greenfield and brownfield products built with Next.js, React, and modern JavaScript/TypeScript
Stand up projects from scratch: tooling, routing, data fetching, design system foundations, CI, and deployment
Build performant UIs—thoughtful rendering, caching, bundle size, Core Web Vitals, and progressive enhancement
Collaborate with designers and backend engineers on APIs, auth flows, and optimistic UX
Establish patterns for state management, testing, and component libraries that client teams can extend
Mentor mid-level and junior engineers through reviews, pairing, and clear written guidance
Leave engagements with docs, runbooks, and a frontend that still feels intentional a year later

What we are looking for

5+ years shipping production web applications used by real users
Deep expertise in React and Next.js (App Router experience preferred)
Strong JavaScript fundamentals and comfort with TypeScript in large codebases
Proven ability to lead a frontend from scratch—scaffolding, conventions, and long-term structure
Track record of building performant systems: profiling, code-splitting, SSR/SSG/ISR trade-offs, caching strategies
Solid accessibility and responsive design instincts
Clear communication with non-engineers; you can defend trade-offs and write decisions down
Bonus: experience with design systems, TanStack Query / server components patterns, Playwright/Cypress, or consulting/embedded-team work

What success looks like

You ship a production frontend that loads fast, fails gracefully, and is easy for the next engineer to extend. Clients trust your judgment on stack choices, and our squads move faster because of the foundations you put in place.
