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
