The ideal candidate will be a proactive problem-solver who leverages AI tools for efficiency, embraces collaborative internal development practices, maintains strong accountability, and thrives in a dynamic environment with a positive, solutions-oriented attitude.

Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience)
• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 3 years focused on front-end development
• Strong proficiency in React.js for building interactive UIs, including state management (e.g., Redux, Context API) and component lifecycle
• Expertise in TypeScript for type-safe coding, enhancing code reliability and maintainability
• Solid experience with Node.js for server-side logic, API development, or full-stack capabilities
• Familiarity with modern front-end tools and ecosystems, such as Webpack, Babel, ESLint, and testing frameworks (e.g., Jest, React Testing Library)
• Experience with JSON templating languages for UI (e.g., similar to JSON-based frameworks like Handlebars or custom templating engines
• Demonstrated use of AI tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT for code generation, or AI-driven IDE extensions) to boost productivity in past roles
• Hands-on experience with Contentful or similar headless CMS platforms for content-driven applications

Responsibilities

• Lead Front-End Development: Design, implement, and maintain high-performance user interfaces using React.js and TypeScript, ensuring seamless integration with back-end services built on Node.js

• Innovate and Problem-Solve: Identify and resolve complex technical challenges with bold, pragmatic, and innovative problem-solving; take full ownership and accountability for delivering high-quality, effective solutions
• Drive Iterative Delivery: Adopt a proactive mindset focused on iterative delivery—breaking down work into manageable increments, delivering value frequently, gathering feedback early, and continuously improving outcomes
• Contribute via Inner Source Practices: Adopt an inner-source mindset by proactively creating and sharing fixes, reusable components, libraries, or improvements across teams and projects as needs arise, fostering internal collaboration, transparency, and code reuse, similar to open-source principles within the organization
• Leverage AI Tools for Productivity: Integrate and utilize AI-powered tools (e.g., code assistants, automated testing frameworks, or generative AI for prototyping) to streamline development workflows, reduce manual efforts, and accelerate feature delivery
• Mentor and Collaborate: Guide junior engineers through code reviews, knowledge sharing, and best practices in front-end technologies; work closely with designers, product managers, and back-end teams to align on project goals while maintaining a positive, constructive approach
• Optimize and Maintain Codebase: Ensure code quality through testing, debugging, and refactoring; monitor application performance and implement improvements for responsiveness and scalability
• Content Management Integration (Preferred): If experienced, incorporate Contentful or a similar CMS to manage dynamic content, enabling efficient updates to UI elements without full redeployments
