Front End Engineer

Description

We are modernizing our product UI, replacing a legacy front-end with a modern React application. This effort is a full UI rewrite and redesign focused on improving usability, maintainability, and long-term scalability-rather than a screen-for-screen conversion.

We are seeking a 10+ years experienced React engineer who has architected and built enterprise React applications from scratch: defining front-end architecture, setting engineering standards, and delivering critical modules hands-on with minimal oversight.

Preference for candidates who have led migrations from legacy UI stacks into modern SPA frameworks.

Key Responsibilities:

Own the React application architecture, including project structure, component strategy, routing, and integration points.

Establish and maintain UI engineering standards such as component patterns, naming conventions, linting/formatting rules, PR guidelines, and documentation.

Make front-end technology decisions with long-term maintainability and ecosystem stability in mind.

Build core UI elements like navigation, layouts, shared components, and deliver major product modules end to end.

Develop UI components with strong accessibility practices (WCAG/ARIA/keyboard interactions).

Requirements

Qualifications:

10+ years of professional software development experience with a strong front-end focus.

Deep, hands-on React experience building production-grade single-page applications.

Proven experience leading and building applications from scratch.

Ability to work independently with minimal direction.

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field.

Experience migrating or modernizing legacy UIs into modern React SPA frameworks.

Expert-level React and TypeScript; experience delivering large-scale SPAs and defining coding standards.

Strong front-end architecture skills, especially for modular applications.

Proficiency with state management approaches (e.g., Redux) and maintaining consistent patterns across teams.

Accessibility-first development practice and familiarity with WCAG and ARIA.

Experience with design systems and reusable component libraries.

Knowledge of UI entitlements such as RBAC and feature toggles.

Experience implementing SPA authentication and session management.

Familiarity with API integration patterns like BFF or GraphQL-style approaches.

Experience delivering incremental modernization (POCs, phased rollouts).

Strong ability to work with third-party libraries (Redux, RxJS) and troubleshoot dependency issues.
