Software Engineer - Front End Developer

We're looking for a Software Engineer (Frontend) proficient in React, Next.js, and Node.js to join our engineering team. You'll independently own complex feature work end-to-end, serve as an emerging technical voice, mentor junior engineers, and contribute to team-level technical design - all while building growing cross-stack awareness beyond your frontend specialization.

Autonomy

• Independently own complex, ambiguous feature work with minimal guidance; proactively remove blockers
• Self-direct learning to close skill gaps and navigate ambiguity by focusing on impact
• Use and help improve team tools/processes (JIRA, Confluence, CI/CD)

Technical Skills

• Apply deep React, Next.js, and Node.js expertise to make sound feature-level technology decisions
• Handle complex state management, performance optimization, accessibility (WCAG), and design-system contributions
• Debug cross-layer issues and collaborate across frontend, backend, and mobile boundaries
• Proactively identify and address technical debt

Collaboration

• Lead design discussions and code reviews; advocate for best practices
• Communicate technical trade-offs to technical and non-technical stakeholders alike
• Build strong cross-team relationships; actively engage in sprint ceremonies and retros

Innovation

• Propose solutions to non-obvious engineering challenges
• Help define team engineering standards and identify architecture improvement opportunities
• Stay resilient and adaptable amid change

Observability

• Build observability into features from the start; lead monitoring improvements
• Instrument Core Web Vitals and real-user monitoring (RUM); work within defined SLOs
• Recommend monitoring improvements based on production data

Cloud Skills

• Design and deploy cloud architectures (primarily GCP) for feature work
• Identify cost/reliability improvements and apply advanced security patterns
• Help shape team cloud standards

Leadership & Stakeholder Management

• Serve as technical lead on medium-complexity projects
• Drive measurable process improvements; mentor junior (GSR5) engineers

Contribute to PI planning and sprint commitment accuracy

• 4-6 years of professional experience in front-end/web development
• Strong hands-on experience with React, Next.js, and Node.js
• Track record of owning complex, multi-component features end-to-end

• Experience writing automated tests (Jest, React Testing Library, Cypress, etc.)

• Solid grasp of state management, performance optimization, and accessibility (WCAG)
• Working knowledge of cloud platforms, ideally GCP
• Experience with CI/CD, JIRA, and Confluence
• Familiarity with observability practices (Core Web Vitals, RUM)
• Strong communication skills; mentoring experience a plus
• Growing understanding of backend/API design and cross-stack debugging
