What you will do
Develop our frontend website using modern development standards, technologies, and techniques. This includes taking a leading role in design and architecture decisions.
You will have an active role in all aspects of the development life cycle, from story refinement to deployment to production.
Write unit, integration, and end to end tests to ensure code quality. Lead the effort in setting up and maintaining testing frameworks and best practices.

Research and evaluate new technologies that could improve the quality of our software.

Who you are
You have a solid foundation in TypeScript, Next.js, and React.js, and you are experienced with unit testing (using Jest/Vitest and React Testing Library), end-to-end testing (with Cypress or Playwright) and React Query. Familiarity with any major cloud technology such as AWS, Azure or Google Cloud would be a plus but not a prerequisite to apply.
You enjoy significant autonomy in your role, leading frontend decisions, project directions, and technology choices. Your ability to solve complex problems independently is paramount.
You are well-versed in the entire software development lifecycle.
Building products that delight people while also being stable, scalable, secure, observable, and performant is something you're enthusiastic about.
You have excellent communication skills and a user-centric attitude.
You have keen attention to detail, are adaptable, and work well in a team.
You are keen to mentor junior engineers and help them grow.
You are up for sharing knowledge to strengthen the ability of the team.
You strive to be the best in the world at what you do and want to be surrounded by others who do so as well.
You have strong, well-informed opinions but are open to being convinced otherwise through thoughtful discussion and debates with your teammates.
You have a bias towards action.
You are a problem solver and spend your time figuring stuff out rather than explaining why it can't be done.
You are incurably & insatiably curious. You probably know the difference between baking soda and baking powder (if you don't now, you want to go and find out, don't you?) .
You know when more analysis will help and when it's time to move on.
You have a genuine interest in technology and stay up to date with latest developments and trends.
