Frontend Software Engineer – React & TypeScript

This is a hands-on front-end engineering role focused on developing production applications using React, TypeScript, modern JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. You will work closely with UI/UX designers, product stakeholders, backend engineers, and other developers to transform designs and requirements into responsive, intuitive, production-ready applications.

The ideal candidate combines strong React and TypeScript development skills with a solid understanding of UI/UX principles, accessibility, automated testing, APIs, and modern software development practices.

Success in this role means delivering interfaces that are intuitive for users, accessible across devices and audiences, well tested, and maintainable for the engineering teams responsible for continuing to enhance them.

What You Will Do

• Design, build, and maintain production web applications and user interfaces using React and TypeScript.

• Develop reusable React components using modern patterns, including hooks and component composition.

• Translate UI/UX designs and product requirements into responsive, accessible, production-ready applications.

• Build interfaces using semantic HTML and modern CSS practices.

• Develop maintainable styling solutions across technologies such as Sass, Material UI (MUI), USWDS, StyleX, or comparable frameworks.

• Work closely with UI/UX designers to refine user flows, maintain visual consistency, and ensure designs can be effectively implemented.

• Integrate front-end applications with REST/JSON APIs and backend services.

• Implement asynchronous application behavior, including loading states, error handling, pagination, and authenticated requests.

• Develop automated unit, component, integration, and end-to-end tests using technologies such as Vitest, Jest, React Testing Library, Playwright, or comparable tools.

• Participate in Git-based software development workflows involving branching, merge requests, pull requests, code reviews, and release processes.

• Work with CI/CD pipelines to support automated testing, application builds, and deployment.

• Use modern front-end build tools and package-management technologies such as Vite, Yarn, npm, and private package registries.

• Participate in technical design discussions and evaluate implementation approaches based on usability, maintainability, performance, schedule, and technical constraints.

• Collaborate with backend engineers, systems engineers, analysts, product stakeholders, and other technical team members.

• Participate in code reviews and help maintain strong front-end engineering and development standards.

• Troubleshoot and resolve application, integration, browser, performance, and user-interface issues.
