About this role
Your mission
- Design and build modern React / Next.js applications that stay maintainable as they grow.
- Make and defend architectural decisions — and understand the performance consequences of them.
- Set front-end standards, build reusable components, and create patterns the whole team builds on.
- Work closely with our back-end developers to integrate APIs and business logic cleanly.
- Own quality end to end, including in production: reading logs, tracing issues, and diagnosing incidents together with our DevOps and sysadmins rather than handing them off.
- Improve performance, accessibility, and overall UX across projects.
- Review code, raise the bar, and help good front-enders across our teams become even better — without slowing them down.
Your profile
- 5+ years in front-end development, with deep, current React and TypeScript experience.
- Real production experience with Next.js — you understand rendering strategies (SSR / SSG / ISR / CSR), hydration, routing, and when to use which, not just how to scaffold an app.
- A strong grasp of front-end architecture: component design, state management, and how structural choices affect maintainability, bundle size, and runtime performance.
- The ability to measure and improve performance (Core Web Vitals, bundle analysis, profiling) — and to understand the cost of the trade-offs you make.
- Solid experience integrating front-ends with APIs and back-end systems.
- Comfort across the full lifecycle: version control, testing, debugging, CI/CD, deployment, and maintenance.
- Excellent English and the confidence to work directly with product owners and clients.
- Senior judgment: you know when to be rigorous and when to be pragmatic, you take ownership of outcomes, and you make the people around you better.
