- Participate in code reviews, technical discussions, and the team's engineering practices
- Help advance how the team builds with AI across the development lifecycle
WHAT YOU'LL NEED
- Strong, demonstrated experience building production frontend applications with React, Next.js (App Router), and TypeScript
- Proficiency with modern component libraries and UI systems such as Radix UI, shadcn/ui, Tailwind, or similar frameworks
- Solid grounding in responsive design, accessibility (a11y), frontend performance, and scalable UI architecture
- Experience integrating frontend applications with headless CMS platforms and backend APIs
- Familiarity with frontend tooling, Git workflows, testing practices, and CI/CD pipelines, plus analytics, SEO, and performance optimization
- Strong attention to detail and design sensibility, paired with strong communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills
- Experience in agency, consultancy, or enterprise SaaS environments
- Familiarity with Vercel and cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP
- Experience with data visualization libraries such as D3 or Highcharts is a plus
- Comfort using AI-enabled tools day-to-day to accelerate engineering, automation, debugging, and operational work
- Experience orchestrating multi-step or agent-driven AI workflows, including selecting appropriate models, tools, and execution patterns for different use cases
- Strong judgment reviewing and hardening AI-assisted output for security, scalability, maintainability, and architectural fit, along with experience building prompts, evaluations, and operational context that improve engineering velocity and reliability
