About the role
Role overview
As an Intermediate Frontend Software Engineer, you will help build the next generation of AI-first web and SaaS products. You’ll turn Figma designs into polished, performant, accessible interfaces while collaborating closely with senior engineers, designers, and product leads across active client engagements.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and ship user-facing features using Next.js, React, and TypeScript
- Translate Figma designs into pixel-accurate, responsive, and accessible UI across browsers/devices
- Integrate headless CMS platforms (schema, structured content, preview environments)
- Consume/build against REST and GraphQL APIs, including authentication, caching, and robust error handling
- Use AI-first development tooling (e.g., Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) while maintaining code quality and review discipline
- Write component and end-to-end tests using Playwright and collaborate with QA on coverage/regression prevention
- Partner with designers, product managers, and backend engineers to scope, estimate, and deliver work
- Participate in code reviews, pairing, and technical discussions; provide/receive constructive feedback
- Improve performance, accessibility, and SEO using tools like Lighthouse, axe, and Core Web Vitals
- Maintain clear documentation for components/integrations/handoffs in Jira, Confluence, and repositories
- Identify technical risks early and communicate trade-offs/status clearly in an async remote environment
Requirements
- 3–5+ years of professional software engineering with a primary focus on frontend development
- Strong TypeScript and modern JavaScript (ES2020+) (async patterns, type-safe API design)
- Production experience with Next.js and React, including App Router, server components, and data fetching patterns
- Hands-on experience with at least one CMS (e.g., Sanity or Gatsby)
- Experience writing automated tests with Playwright (or similar)
- Ability to translate Figma into production-grade UI (spacing, typography, interaction detail)
- Solid HTML/CSS (including Tailwind CSS or CSS-in-JS), accessibility fundamentals (WCAG/ARIA), and responsive design
- Experience integrating with REST and GraphQL APIs and debugging via DevTools/network inspection
- Familiarity with Git, PR-based workflows, and CI/CD (e.g., GitHub Actions, Vercel, Netlify)
- Strong async communication and self-management
Nice to haves
- Familiarity with AI-first tools such as Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor
- Testing with Playwright integrated into CI quality gates
