Responsibilities

Build, maintain, and ship high-quality product features in a multidisciplinary Agile team

Translate designs, wireframes, and product requirements into accessible, performant React experiences

Own UI architecture decisions: component design, state management approaches, data fetching patterns, and maintainable abstractions

Write reliable, well-tested code; participate in code review; mentor teammates through thoughtful feedback and shared patterns

Triage, debug, and resolve issues across browsers/devices; collaborate with QA/support/product to close the loop quickly

Optimize for real-world performance at scale (rendering efficiency, Core Web Vitals, bundle size, caching strategies)

Contribute to guild practices: propose improvements to coding standards, tooling, documentation, and architectural approaches

Use AI-powered IDEs and assistants (e.g., Cursor, Copilot-style tools) to speed up implementation, refactoring, and test generation—while ensuring correctness, security, and maintainability

Apply AI thoughtfully: create strong prompts, verify outputs, and incorporate guardrails (linting, type checks, unit/integration tests, code review)

Partner on AI-enabled product initiatives where relevant—such as AI-assisted content workflows, smarter search/discovery, moderation tooling, summarization, or admin productivity experiences—integrating front-end UX with backend services/APIs

Help define best practices for AI-assisted engineering (what to automate, what must be human-reviewed, and how to evaluate quality)

Preferred

4+ years building production web applications with React (or another major JS framework/library)

Strong HTML/CSS/SCSS fundamentals and experience implementing responsive UI

Familiarity with accessibility standards (WCAG/ARIA) and building inclusive interfaces
