Senior UI/UX Engineer

TransPerfect•Dallas, TX

About The Position

We’re a small team inside TransPerfect building a massive internal platform—a low-code application builder that’s powering how our entire company operates. It’s ambitious. It’s complex. It’s not “done.” And that’s exactly why it’s fun. Think: Drag-and-drop UI builder Highly dynamic, data-driven interfaces Enterprise-scale… without enterprise-level red tape We operate more like a startup embedded inside a global company, which means we move fast, figure things out as we go, and need people who are excited to build something real from the ground up.

Requirements

React / Next.js (deep experience, not surface-level)
Advanced state management (handling complex, nested, high-volume UI state)
TypeScript (strict mode)—you’re comfortable modeling complex systems
Component architecture—you’ve built systems, not just screens
Styling systems (we use a mix of MUI + Tailwind… yes, really, so experience in both is preferred)
Performance tuning (keeping things smooth even when they shouldn’t be)
You can design dense interfaces that still feel usable
You think about how users actually interact with systems
You understand tradeoffs between flexibility and clarity
You’re comfortable shaping UX—not just implementing it
Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience
Experience building highly interactive web apps
Strong performance mindset
Familiarity with modern frontend tooling
