Responsibilities:

• Own end-to-end design and architecture of complex frontend features, translating product requirements into technical specifications.
• Develop high-performance, production-ready React and Next.js applications with pixel-perfect UI implementations.
• Drive performance optimisation initiatives, identify bottlenecks, implement improvements, and establish monitoring to track metrics.
• Build and maintain reusable component libraries, design systems, and utility functions for team-wide adoption.
• Ensure technical feasibility of UI/UX designs and work closely with designers to balance aesthetics with performance and accessibility.
• Champion best practices in code quality, testing, accessibility, and maintainability across the team.
• Lead adoption of AI-assisted development tools (Claude, GitHub Copilot, etc. ) within the team; evaluate effectiveness, establish best practices, and mentor others on productivity gains.
• Mentor junior engineers and conduct thorough code reviews to foster a culture of excellence.
• Stay current with frontend ecosystem trends, emerging AI tools, and new frameworks/patterns; evaluate and advocate for adoption.
• Collaborate with backend and DevOps teams to understand API contracts, optimise data fetching, and streamline deployment pipelines.
• Debug and optimise third-party library usage, understanding their internals and identifying performance trade-offs.
• Participate in system design discussions and contribute to architectural decisions at the team and platform level.

Requirements:

• Expert proficiency in React and TypeScript; strong understanding of hooks, state management patterns, and TypeScript best practices.
• Deep expertise in Next.js, including Server-Side Rendering (SSR), Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR), API routes, middleware, optimization strategies.

• Strong knowledge of CI/CD pipelines, deployment strategies, and automation experience with tools like GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar platforms.
• Strong foundation in Git and collaborative development workflows.
• Working knowledge of Node.js and backend fundamentals enough to understand API design, authentication, and server-side implications.

Nice-to-Have Skills:

• Experience with headless CMS, GraphQL, or API integration layers.
• Knowledge of SEO best practices for SPA and Next.js applications.
• Familiarity with Storybook, design tokens, and component documentation.
• Understanding of animation libraries (Framer Motion, React Spring) and interactive UX.
• Exposure to AI/LLM integrations in frontend (streaming, chunking, prompt optimisation).
• Experience working with WebViews, React Native, or other hybrid mobile technologies; understanding of bridge communication, native module integration, and platform-specific constraints.
• Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools (Claude, GitHub Copilot, Codeium, Codex, Cursor, etc. ) and understanding of their strengths, limitations, and best practices for maximising productivity.
