Software Engineer - Front End Developer
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.

- 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
