  • Hands-on experience integrating with RESTful and/or GraphQL APIs and solving tough UI performance challenges.

  • Familiarity with frontend testing tools and workflows (Jest, Cypress, React Testing Library).

  • Sound understanding of HTML, CSS, responsive design, and accessibility.

  • Proven ability to work effectively within cross-functional teams and thrive in agile, collaborative environments.

  • Passion for code quality, innovation, and meaningful user impacts.

Basic Qualifications
  • 5+ years professional experience in frontend software development.

  • Expertise in JavaScript (ES6+), TypeScript, React, and Redux (or similar).

  • Experience building and scaling production-grade web UIs.

  • Hands-on experience with component-based architectures and modern state management.

  • Solid understanding of API integration (REST, GraphQL).

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with enterprise SaaS applications or multi-tenant platforms.

  • Background in data-intensive UIs, admin tools, or workflow systems.

  • Familiarity with backend tech (Ruby on Rails, MySQL) and interest in full-stack growth.

  • Experience or curiosity with CI/CD, cloud infrastructure (AWS, Kubernetes), and observability tools (e.g., DataDog).

  • Experience mentoring peers or providing technical direction.

  • Grow your skills within a hybrid-friendly, people-focused culture that believes in respect, balance, and mentorship.
