UI Lead

Hello,

Hope you are doing great!!! Please have a look at the below requirement and let me know if you are comfortable with the position ASAP with your updated word resume.

Role: UI Lead

Location: Charlotte, NC - Onsite

Contract On W2

Job Description:

• We re looking for recent experience with pure React+Typescript, with best practices from React 18 (like no CLASSical components or CLASSical HOCs). Frameworks on top of React (like NextJS) aren t what we re looking for.
• No frameworks. NextJS and other frameworks on top or React are more a minus, than plus.
• Candidate should have recent experience with Redux and Redux Sagas specifically (not alternatives like Zustand and other state management libraries). It can be ReduxJS Toolkit (also known as RTK), but I will get deep into what it solves and why, and how it works. We re not leveraging RTK too much in our code base. Understanding of what Sagas can do besides sending API requests is a must.
• Candidates should have recent experience working on long term projects with at least 12-14 months on a single project/app, so that we could have candidates with the correct mindset about how requirements evolve with time, and how we can make ourselves ready to adapt to changing requirements. Small product/company with an 18 months contract is a good fit. 6 months for a huge international corporation is not. Long term contract with a considerable degree of engineering ownership and freedom for a huge international corporation is the best, but you can t have everything, and so `long term with ownership and freedom` is preferred over huge corporation .
• Candidates should have experience with working/creating/maintaining basic components (buttons, dropdowns, layouts, etc) without any 3rd party library such as Chakra, MUI, Antd, or others. They ought to be experienced with styles-in-JS patterns using either styled-components, or @emotion/styled. Preferably including advanced patterns like custom themes, theme mapping and wrappers, mobile responsive components, things like these.
• Experience with latest data routing from react-router-dom is a plus, but not a deal breaker
• Experience with mono repositories will be a plus (NX workspace is a huge plus), but not a deal breaker
• When I m sure they re familiar enough with things listed above, I WILL ask about architecture layering, it s why and how .
• Practiced ownership over their engineering decisions, and being exposed to the autonomy and decision making outside of what CSS style to apply here

Required soft skills :

• Good speaking and written English.
• Should understand and be able to explain what they re doing and how it works.
• Good understanding of a higher level architecture, and being able to have reasonable discussion about engineering and architecture conformity of the technical decisions they make.
• Able to take long term consequences into consideration when making decisions.
• Familiarity with technical debt, consequences of having it, and ideas how to avoid having it.
• We re not looking for code generators ChatGPT is more than capable of doing that. We re looking for conscious thinkers, who can make decisions and own the project, led by reasoning, deep understanding of the technology, and long-term consequences of their decisions and actions.
• While we re part of an immense international corporation, HDL organization is run as a lean startup, and we re looking for people accordingly. Hiring people who just write code is not the goal. Hiring people, who can say I ll just do this entire thing myself, because it s going to be faster and higher quality is. This phrase means ownership, thinking about long term consequences, engineering autonomy, and proficiency in tech stack. This is how some of our current contractors operate, and I know they ll deliver. We want that. We don t want my lead said to do it like so, and so I did .

Thanks & Regards

Peter Kane
