  • Use AI-augmented development tools and workflows to accelerate development, improve code quality, and help the team ship high-impact features faster.
  • Continuously improve frontend performance, reliability, accessibility, and user experience across our web platform serving millions of sessions each month.
  • Collaborate with backend teams to integrate frontend features with our microservice architecture and third-party travel systems.
  • Contribute to engineering best practices across the team, including automated testing, code quality, and continuous delivery.
  • Support and mentor other engineers through code reviews, pairing, and collaborative problem solving.

Qualifications

  • Proficiency in JavaScript and Typescript, with a deep understanding of modern frontend development practices.
  • Experience designing high-performance, responsive user interfaces and improving frontend performance, accessibility, and reliability.
  • Strong understanding of frontend architecture, including state management, component design, and scalable application structure.
  • Experience writing automated tests for frontend applications and contributing to CI/CD workflows that support rapid, reliable releases.
  • Experience working closely with product managers and designers to ship high-impact customer-facing features.
  • Familiarity integrating frontend applications with microservice-based backends and REST APIs.
