Job description

We’re looking for a Frontend Engineer who not only excels in modern JavaScript and UI development, but is also a strong problem-solver, passionate learner, and detail-oriented contributor. You’ll play a critical role in shaping intuitive, beautiful, and high-performance user experiences, especially around design systems and React component infrastructure.


What You’ll Do

  • Build and maintain complex, scalable, and reusable UI components using React, MUI, and TypeScript.

  • Break down complex deliverables into scoped, iterative milestones.

  • Collaborate across teams to ship well-designed, accessible, and user-friendly front-end solutions.

  • Dive deep into product, design, and developer problems to understand root causes and solve them at scale.

  • Actively contribute to documentation and community engagement (e.g., GitHub issues, PR discussions).

  • Write clean, maintainable, and testable code.

  • Work in an agile, fast-moving environment, constantly learning and iterating.


Required Skills

  • Expertise in JavaScript/TypeScript and modern frontend tools (ES2021+, Babel, Webpack, Node.js).

  • Deep knowledge of React and MUI (Material UI) ecosystem.

  • Familiarity with Next.js and server-side rendering.

  • Demonstrated experience shipping beautiful, intuitive UIs and solving user-centric problems.

  • Experience building or contributing to design systems and reusable components.

  • Clear and empathetic written and verbal communication skills — crucial for working with internal teams and open-source communities.

  • Comfortable with GitHub workflows and agile collaboration.

  • Strong debugging, optimization, and performance-tuning skills.


Nice to Have

  • Past experience maintaining a high-traffic open-source or internal front-end repository.

  • Prior contributions to MUI or other open-source projects.

  • Experience with accessibility (a11y) best practices.

  • Familiarity with frontend infrastructure (e.g., Babel plugins, custom webpack config, component libraries).

  • Strong understanding of cross-browser compatibility, performance profiling, and modern testing frameworks.


You’re a Great Fit If You

  • Love solving root-cause problems and building products that scale.

  • Ask great questions and enjoy helping others.

  • Celebrate first-time mistakes as part of the learning process.

  • Can scope work into deliverables and ship incrementally.

  • Thrive in a team that values open discussion and continuous improvement.
