• We are becoming an agentic organization, adopting the AI-native operating model we bring to our clients.
• We are robust and resilient (100% independent, 0 debt, founded 2009)
• We are AI-native professionals who invest in what we believe and work as a collective intelligence
• We are positive, courageous and deliver at the leading edge.

YOUR ROLE

As a Front-End core (React) Engineer, you’ll own the user experience and front-end architecture while keeping a strong end-to-end product mindset (APIs, data, performance, security, and delivery).

• Build modern, accessible user interfaces with React + TypeScript, following strong architecture practices, reusable component design, and clean hook patterns.
• Define and evolve scalable front-end architecture: conventions, modularization, design systems, code quality (linting/formatting), and a pragmatic testing strategy.
• Implement authentication and authorization flows integrated with IdentityServer, leveraging OAuth2/JWT, with secure session/token handling.
• Consume REST APIs, ensuring robust error handling, state management, and resilient UX while integrating with complex UI states using Redux/Zustand/React context.
• Ensure excellent responsive design and user experience across devices and resolutions, with attention to accessibility (a11y) and UI consistency.
• Optimize performance (Core Web Vitals, bundle size, caching, rendering strategies, profiling) using SSR/SSG techniques with Next.js.
• Implement unit and component tests with Jest, Vitest, and React Testing Library, ensuring quality and maintainability while aligning with automation practices.
• Raise the bar on front-end security: CSP, safe token handling, authorization-aware UI patterns, and general hardening practices using Docker/nginx for deployment and optimization.

WHO YOU ARE

• 7+ years of React experience building production web products.
• Strong command of TypeScript, component design, hooks, patterns, performance, and maintainable front-end architecture.
• Solid experience with state management, including Redux/Zustand/Context API handling complex UI states, forms, and validations.
• Strong UX/UI engineering instincts: accessibility, visual consistency, attention to detail, and responsive-first design.
• Hands-on experience integrating REST APIs and working with OpenAPI/Swagger; resilience-first approach (errors, latency, edge cases).
• Practical testing skills with Jest, Vitest, and React Testing Library (ideally also e2e).
• Experience with modern tooling including npm/Yarn, Vite and build systems like Webpack, focusing on SPA and deployment through Docker/nginx/node.
• Familiarity with edge/CDN delivery mechanisms and caching fundamentals for improved performance.
• Strong front-end security practices: CSP, secure token handling, and awareness of common risks (XSS/CSRF, etc.).
• Professional English for global collaboration (documentation, ceremonies, stakeholders).

AI-NATIVE ENGINEERING (CORE EXPECTATION)

• Use Generative AI coding tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor) as a first-class engineering assistant for:
• Code scaffolding and refactoring
• Code generation and optimisation
• Test cases and documentation generation
• Build applications through AI-driven development practices, including:
• AI-assisted debugging and troubleshooting
• Intelligent code completion and pattern recognition
• Automated documentation generation
• Apply prompt engineering best practices for reliable, repeatable engineering outcomes.
• Validate GenAI output (determinism checks, guardrails, fallback logic).
