  • Develop and document components in Storybook for team collaborationImplement design systems and maintain component libraries using Shadcn or similar tools
  • Ensure WCAG 2.2 Level AA accessibility compliance across all components and pages
  • Optimize frontend performance including bundle sizes, lazy loading, and rendering strategies
  • Write unit and integration tests using Jest and React Testing LibraryImplement responsive navigation patterns, forms, and interactive UI elements
  • Ensure cross-browser compatibility across Chrome, Safari, Edge, and Firefox
  • Collaborate with designers to refine interactions and ensure design feasibility
  • Work with backend developers to design API contracts and data structures

What we are looking for

Must-Have:

  • 3+ years of frontend development experience with production React applications
  • Strong proficiency in React and Next.js including hooks, context, and modern patterns
  • Expert-level skills with Tailwind CSS and utility-first CSS frameworks
  • Experience building responsive layouts that work across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices
  • Strong TypeScript skills for type-safe frontend development
  • Experience translating Figma designs into production-ready components
  • Solid understanding of component-driven development and reusable component libraries
  • Experience consuming GraphQL APIs in React applications
  • Knowledge of accessibility standards (WCAG 2.2) and semantic HTML

Who you are

Detail-oriented implementer: You take pride in pixel-perfect implementations, paying attention to spacing, typography, colors, and interactions to ensure designs are faithfully translated from Figma to production.
User experience advocate: You think beyond just implementing designs—considering accessibility, performance, and how users will actually interact with interfaces across different devices and contexts.
Component-minded developer: You naturally think in terms of reusable components, building flexible, composable interfaces that can be used across multiple contexts while maintaining consistency.
Collaborative designer-developer: You work closely with designers to understand intent, ask clarifying questions about interactions and edge cases, and provide constructive feedback on design feasibility.
Performance-conscious builder: You understand that beautiful interfaces need to load quickly and perform smoothly, considering bundle sizes, rendering performance, and optimization strategies from the start.
Quality-focused craftsperson: You write clean, maintainable code with proper TypeScript types, test your components, and document your work so other developers can use and extend what you build.
