Senior Frontend Engineer

Job Description

We are modernizing our platform and building a more scalable design system. While we have a dedicated team handling most of the heavy migration work, we need a Senior Frontend Engineer who can:

• Build new product features on top of a changing architecture

  
  
  

• Implement clean design patterns that raise the bar for the entire team

  
  
  

• Guide and mentor existing frontend engineers

  
  
  

• Help define best practices, standards, and frontend structure

  
  
  

• Ensure new features are aligned with modern Next.js conventions

  
  
  

• Make smart trade-offs while working in a partially legacy environment
  

  
  
  

We are looking for someone who can think, not just code - someone who sees patterns, structure, maintainability, and the long-term health of the UI layer.

• Provide architectural guidance on component structure, routing patterns, and best practices

  
  
  

• Help shape a scalable component library and consistent UI system

  
  
  

• Introduce clean coding standards and reduce unnecessary complexity

  
  
  

• Assist in identifying anti-patterns in the legacy code and propose lightweight improvements

  
  
  

• Work closely with backend to create clean data-fetching flows

  
  
  

• Ensure new features follow modern React + Next.js principles

  
  
  

• Strong experience with Next.js across versions (12 → 13 → all the way to latest version)

  
  
  

• Deep understanding of React patterns (composition, state management, separation of concerns)

  
  
  

• Experience building scalable UI architectures & reusable components

  
  
  

• Ability to write clean, readable, maintainable UI code

  
  
  

• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills

  
  
  

• Ability to explain trade-offs and guide other engineers

  
  
  

• Comfortable working alongside legacy code while building new features

  
  
  

• Exposure to AI-assisted workflows (Claude, Cursor, Copilot)
  

  
  
  

• Experience mentoring or leading frontend engineers

  
  
  

• Experience working with design systems (Tailwind, shadcn, Chakra, custom)

  
  
  

• Strong understanding of performance optimization
