Senior Frontend Engineer

Job Description

We are modernizing our platform and building a more scalable design system. While we have a dedicated team handling most of the heavy migration work, we need a Senior Frontend Engineer who can :

Build new product features on top of a changing architecture

Implement clean design patterns that raise the bar for the entire team

Guide and mentor existing frontend engineers

Help define best practices, standards, and frontend structure

Ensure new features are aligned with modern Next.js conventions

Make smart trade-offs while working in a partially legacy environment

We are looking for someone who can think , not just code — someone who sees patterns, structure, maintainability, and the long-term health of the UI layer.

What You’ll Actually Do

Provide architectural guidance on component structure, routing patterns, and best practices

Help shape a scalable component library and consistent UI system

Introduce clean coding standards and reduce unnecessary complexity

Assist in identifying anti-patterns in the legacy code and propose lightweight improvements

Work closely with backend to create clean data-fetching flows

Ensure new features follow modern React + Next.js principles

Requirements

Strong experience with Next.js across versions (12 → 13 → all the way to latest version)

Deep understanding of React patterns (composition, state management, separation of concerns)

Experience building scalable UI architectures & reusable components

Ability to write clean, readable, maintainable UI code

Strong debugging and problem-solving skills

Ability to explain trade-offs and guide other engineers

Comfortable working alongside legacy code while building new features

Exposure to AI-assisted workflows (Claude, Cursor, Copilot)

Nice to Have

Experience mentoring or leading frontend engineers

Experience working with design systems (Tailwind, shadcn, Chakra, custom)

Strong understanding of performance optimization
