Frontend Developer

The role ensures that StarZen's digital platforms deliver a consistent, performant, and accessible experience across devices and browsers, translating design systems and product requirements into production-ready interfaces used by customers, internal teams, and partners.

The Frontend Developer operates as the technical partner to product and design teams, translating UI/UX designs, business requirements, and technical constraints into scalable, maintainable, and well-tested frontend code using Vue.js, React, and Next.js.

Accountability & Responsibilities of Role:

1. Application Development & Ownership

• Own the end-to-end development of frontend features across:

o Vue.js applications

o React applications

o Next.js applications (SSR/SSG)

• Translate UI/UX designs and wireframes into high-quality, reusable components

• Ensure consistent behaviour and appearance of interfaces across browsers and devices

• Ensure performance, accessibility, and responsiveness standards are met in every release

2. API Integration & Data Handling

• Integrate frontend applications with RESTful APIs and/or GraphQL services

• Manage application state using appropriate libraries (Redux, Pinia, Vuex, Zustand, or similar)

• Handle asynchronous data flows, caching, and error states gracefully

• Partner closely with backend developers to define and refine API contracts

3. Code Quality & Collaboration

• Write clean, well-documented, and testable code following team coding standards

• Participate in code reviews, sprint planning, and technical design discussions

• Collaborate with designers, product managers, and QA to deliver end-to-end features

• Mentor junior developers on frontend best practices where applicable

4. Performance, Testing & Reliability

• Optimize applications for maximum speed, scalability, and cross-browser compatibility

• Write and maintain unit/integration tests to catch regressions early

• Troubleshoot, debug, and resolve UI bugs and performance issues in production

• Monitor frontend performance metrics and proactively address degradations

5. Continuous Improvement

• Stay current with emerging frontend technologies, tools, and best practices

• Recommend and adopt tooling improvements (build tools, linting, CI/CD) that improve developer velocity

• Contribute to shared component libraries and design system documentation

Position Requirements:

• 3-6 years of professional experience in frontend web development

• Strong proficiency in Vue.js and its core principles (Composition API, Vuex/Pinia, Vue Router)

• Solid experience with React.js, including Hooks, Context API, and component-based architecture

• Hands-on experience with Next.js, including SSR, SSG, and API routes

• Strong command of HTML5, CSS3, and modern JavaScript (ES6+) / TypeScript

• Experience with RESTful APIs, GraphQL, and asynchronous data handling

• Familiarity with Git and collaborative development workflows

• Experience in consumer-facing digital products or e-commerce platforms is a strong advantage

Key Competencies:

• Clear improvements in application performance, load times, and responsiveness

• Measurable reduction in UI bugs and production incidents post-release

• Strong alignment between design intent and shipped user experience

• Consistent code quality demonstrated through review feedback and test coverage

• Effective collaboration with design, backend, and QA teams to ship features on schedule
