ABOUT THE ROLE:
We are seeking a Frontend Software Engineer with solid experience in React.js and a good foundation in modern JavaScript/TypeScript. This role will focus on building intuitive, performant, and scalable user interfaces, while also collaborating with backend engineers to consume and integrate APIs. The role is frontend-focused, but exposure to full-stack tasks (basic API integration, debugging backend services) is encouraged.
As part of the team, you will work with product managers, UX designers, and senior engineers to deliver high-quality features with minimal guidance.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Develop and maintain responsive user interfaces using React.js
- Build UI components with Material UI (or similar libraries) following design specifications
- Consume and integrate with REST, GraphQL, and WebSockets, and contribute to API testing and validation
- Ensure front-end code follows best practices for structure, reusability, and accessibility
- Leverage AI-assisted development tools to improve coding efficiency and learn best practices, while collaborating with peers to apply AI-driven solutions effectively.
- Develop and validate responsive, accessible user interfaces in production.
- Contribute to Agile development processes by participating in sprint planning, daily stand-ups, retrospectives, and ensuring timely delivery of features.
- Partner with QA to ensure features are well-tested and delivered with high quality.
- Collaborate closely with product managers and other engineers to deliver features.
- Write clean, maintainable, and testable code
- Write unit tests for frontend components under guidance from senior engineers to contribute to overall test coverage.
- Assist in implementing frontend monitoring, logging, and error tracking tools to ensure reliable user experiences.
- Work with senior engineers to incorporate security best practices (e.g., XSS, CSRF prevention) into frontend applications.
REQUIRED SKILLS & EXPERIENCE:
- 2–5 years of professional experience in frontend development with React.js and modern JavaScript/TypeScript
- Exposure to Material UI (or similar component libraries)
- Exposure to design patterns such as Backend-for-Frontend (BFF)
- Experience in building responsive, accessible, and scalable UI designs
- Experience consuming and integrating REST APIs
- Exposure to GraphQL, WebSocket, or similar API integration methods
- Basic knowledge of relational and non-relational databases to support API integration and debugging.
- Exposure to cloud environments (AWS preferred)
- Exposure to frontend testing frameworks (e.g., Jest, React Testing Library, Cypress).
- Leverage AI-assisted coding tools with the ability to use them effectively to accelerate learning, coding efficiency, and daily productivity.
- Familiarity with Git, CI/CD concepts, and Docker for local development
- Basic understanding of performance tuning and accessibility in web applications
- Experience working in Agile teams and familiarity with Agile methodologies (e.g., participating in sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives).
- Exposure to frontend observability tools (e.g., Sentry, Datadog, New Relic) for monitoring and error tracking.
- Exposure to using CDNs (e.g., CloudFront, Akamai) for performance optimization.
- Awareness of frontend security best practices, including handling authentication flows and preventing common vulnerabilities such as XSS and CSRF.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Exposure to state management frameworks (Redux, Recoil, Zustand, etc.)
- Familiarity with Blazor, Next.js, or other frontend frameworks
- Exposure to backend integration or full-stack development is a plus.
- Understanding of module bundlers (Webpack, Vite, Esbuild, Bun, etc.)
- Exposure to testing or performance profiling tools (e.g., Lighthouse, React Profiler) is a plus.
- Media & entertainment industry experience is a plus
SOFT SKILLS:
- Strong problem-solving and analytical thinking
- Clear communication and collaboration skills
- Ability to work in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment
- Adaptability and eagerness to learn new technologies
