• Set best practices around code quality, performance, testing, and accessibility.
• Collaborate with Product and Design teams to create intuitive and responsive UIs.
• Mentor junior and mid-level engineers through code reviews, design discussions, and pair programming.
• Evaluate and recommend tools, technologies, and processes to ensure our frontend stack remains modern and maintainable.
• Own the delivery lifecycle of new features — from concept to production and optimization.
• 5+ years of professional experience in frontend development, with at least 2 years in a senior or lead role.
• Expert-level proficiency in React.js, Next.js, and TypeScript.
• Proven experience scaling and maintaining large-scale frontend applications.
• Strong understanding of application architecture patterns (e.g., micro-frontends, SSR/ISR, code-splitting).
• Deep knowledge of modern CSS techniques (CSS-in-JS, Tailwind, or similar).
• Experience integrating with RESTful and/or GraphQL APIs.
• Strong understanding of performance profiling, optimization, and monitoring.
• Solid experience with testing libraries (e.g., Jest, React Testing Library, Cypress).
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and modern deployment practices.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively in a team environment.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with design systems and component libraries (Storybook, Figma handoff).
• Background in accessibility (WCAG standards) and internationalization.
• Exposure to backend or full-stack development is a plus.
• Open-source contributions or technical blogging.
