About The Position

Join Virtasant to own major product features end-to-end in a modern, well-architected monorepo. You’ll ship polished experiences across web and mobile using React 19 + TypeScript 5.9, React Router 7 (SSR), Vite, and a shared design system. If you care about craft, autonomy, and AI-augmented speed, you’ll fit right in. This role offers real ownership, allowing you to take a Figma spec to production, shape the architecture, call out risks, and drive incremental launches backed by metrics. The company fosters an AI-forward culture, expecting AI to accelerate craft, not replace it, using it for speed while maintaining judgment and quality as the bar. You will have end-to-end impact, from API contracts and state strategy to polish, accessibility, and performance.

Requirements

• 8+ years building production applications for thousands+ users
• 4+ years deep React expertise (hooks-era and beyond)
• 6+ years JS/TS
• Proven experience in large-scale products: real CI/CD, code review, observability, incident response, and long-term maintenance, not just prototypes or internal tools.
• 3+ years implementing high-fidelity designs from Figma/Adobe XD in a product environment: pixel/snapping discipline, responsive intent, motion/micro-interactions, and typography craft.
• Experience in React Native (2+ years strongly preferred) shipping to both iOS and Android with Expo; comfortable sharing code across platforms.
• Fluency with pnpm + Turbo monorepo, Vite, React Router 7 SSR, TanStack Query, Formik, Storybook, Vitest/Playwright, and visual regression testing.
• Strong systems thinking for design systems: tokens, theming, accessibility, composable APIs (Ariakit-based components), and avoiding one-offs.
• AI-augmented workflow: regularly use tools like Claude/Copilot/Cursor for research, scaffolding, tests, and refactors, and critically review every line.
• Clear communicator: writes concise docs, reviews PRs thoughtfully, and explains trade-offs to technical and non-technical partners.

Nice To Haves

• React Native (2+ years strongly preferred)

Responsibilities

• Lead complex product work such as payment flows with Stripe, robust form validation, real-world edge cases, and ship with tests and monitoring.
• Build cross-platform features that share logic across React (web) and React Native 0.81/Expo 54 (iOS/Android) using custom shared packages, with Cloudflare Workers powering SSR for fast first paint.
• Evolve the design system (100+ components) with accessible, composable primitives built with Tailwind CSS; contribute extensible component patterns, design tokens, and comprehensive docs; ensure WCAG AA+ and great keyboard/screen-reader support.
• Deliver data-heavy interfaces using TanStack Query and React Table (virtualization, sorting, filtering, optimistic updates), while keeping performance and UX crisp.
• Partner with design and product to clarify requirements, surface risks, propose alternatives, and plan incremental rollouts; measure outcomes via Sentry and FullStory.
