We are looking for a Front End Engineer to join our distributed product team. In this role, you will be responsible for building the "face" of our applications, ensuring a seamless, high-performance, and accessible experience for all users.

As a remote-first organization, we value clear communication, self-motivation, and the ability to collaborate asynchronously. While this is a remote position, candidates must be able to work Eastern Standard Time (EST) core hours to facilitate real-time collaboration with our product and design teams.

• UI/UX Implementation:

• Feature Development:
  Build and maintain scalable, reusable components using modern JavaScript frameworks (e.g., React, Vue, or Next.js).
• Performance Optimization:
  Audit and improve web performance (Core Web Vitals) to ensure lightning-fast load times and smooth interactions.
• API Integration:
  Collaborate with Backend Engineers to integrate RESTful or Graph
  
  QL APIs and manage application state effectively.
• Accessibility (a11y):
  Ensure all features meet WCAG 2.2/3.0 compliance standards, making our platform inclusive for all users.
• Code Quality:
  Participate in peer code reviews, write unit/integration tests (Jest, Cypress, or Playwright), and maintain technical documentation.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration:
  
  Work closely with Product Managers and Designers to advocate for technical feasibility and user-centric solutions.

• Experience:
  
  3+ years of professional experience in front-end development (Mid to Senior level).
• Tech Stack:
  Mastery of JavaScript (ES6+), Type Script, and CSS3 (Tailwind, SCSS, or Styled Components).
• Frameworks:
  Proficiency in React 18/19 or Next.js.
• Tooling:
  Experience with modern build tools (Vite, Webpack) and version control (Git).
• Communication:
  Excellent written and verbal communication skills, essential for a remote environment.
• Schedule:
  
  Ability to maintain a consistent 9-to-5 schedule within the EST time zone.

• Experience with AI-assisted development tools (Git Hub Copilot, Cursor).
• Familiarity with Server-Side Rendering (SSR) and Static Site Generation (SSG).
• Prior experience working in a fully remote, Agile/Scrum environment.
• Knowledge of mobile-first development and Progressive Web Apps (PWAs).

The target hiring compensation range for this role is $55 to $75. Compensation is based on several factors including, but not limited to education, relevant work experience, relevant certifications, and location.
