WHY JOIN US
If you're looking for a place to grow, make an impact, and work with people who care, we'd love to meet you!
ABOUT THE ROLE
We are looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer to own the user-facing surface of a visually polished, client-demo-ready application built in React, Next.js, and TypeScript, bridging the gap between a non-tokenized Figma UI kit and a coded Storybook component library. You will build and document missing components natively into the existing design system, consume REST APIs to present complex data-dense UI states clearly, and use AI-assisted development tools including Claude Code with the critical judgment to push back on shortcuts that compromise long-term maintainability.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
UI Development: Build a visually polished, demo-ready front-end using Kepler's mesh-ts React framework, React, Next.js, and TypeScript.
Component Library Contribution: Identify gaps between the Figma UI kit and the coded Storybook, then build and document the missing components natively into the existing library.
API Integration: Consume REST APIs and present complex, synthesized data (creator insights, AI-generated scores) clearly and performantly.
Design Partnership: Work with design to resolve the non-tokenized Figma kit into consistent, reusable coded primitives.
AI-Accelerated Implementation: Use Claude Code (pointed at AWS Bedrock) to move fast during implementation — while critically evaluating AI-generated output and pushing back when it isn't the right long-term solution.
Stakeholder Alignment: Drive conversations directly with engineers and designers to clarify both functional and non-functional requirements, rather than defaulting to whatever "just works" in the short term.
Synchronous Collaboration: Work daily alongside engineers over Slack and Google Meet.
MUST HAVES
5–7 years of frontend software development experience.
Strong TypeScript and React proficiency, including Next.js — with a demonstrated discipline of no lazy
anyusage and genuine comfort with a strictly typed codebase.Demonstrated ability to deliver visually polished, demo-quality interfaces — strong eye for detail, spacing, and interaction feel, not just functional correctness.
Experience contributing to or maintaining a shared component library / design system, including Storybook.
Comfortable translating Figma designs into code, including when the source designs are not tokenized and require judgment to systematize.
Solid experience consuming REST APIs and handling complex, data-dense UI states (loading, partial data, large result sets).
High comfort level working entirely in a Mac/Linux terminal environment (Bash, Makefiles), including modern JS tooling (bun or comparable).
Practical, hands-on use of AI-assisted development tools, paired with the critical judgment to challenge AI output when it compromises long-term maintainability.
Strong soft skills (mandatory, not a bonus): the ability to hold and defend a technical opinion — challenging a stakeholder's or a designer's proposed "quick fix" with sound reasoning in pursuit of a solution that scales and is maintainable long-term, while still being pragmatic enough to ship.
Upper-intermediate English level.
NICE TO HAVES
Experience with bun specifically, or with non-default JS runtimes/package managers.
Design-token systems and theming architecture experience.
Data-visualization experience (charts, dashboards, analytics-heavy interfaces).
Enough Python familiarity to read backend code and reason about API contracts.
Familiarity with Auth0 or front-end authorization/permission-gated UI patterns.
PERKS AND BENEFITS
Growth without limits: build your skills through mentorship, internal TechTalks, challenging projects, and a dedicated annual learning budget
Competitive compensation: get recognition that reflects your skills and impact, with regular performance and compensation reviews
Flexibility: work 100% remotely with flexible hours that support focus, autonomy, and a healthy work rhythm
Meaningful, modern projects: build impactful products using modern technologies alongside global teams and leading brands
Collaborative culture: join a supportive environment with zero micromanagement where ideas are welcomed and contributions are recognized
Well-being & support: access local well-being programs and people-focused support tailored to your location
