Requirements
- •5+ years of experience working as a Front-end engineer on complex web applications
- •Hands-on experience using AI coding tools (Cursor and Claude Code) as your primary way of building front-end prototypes
- •Comfortable iterating quickly with AI assistance while maintaining high visual and functional quality standards
- •3+ years of experience building web interfaces with React, modern JavaScript, and component-based architecture
- •Strong experience with React, TypeScript, Next.js, and Tailwind (or very similar modern front-end stack)
- •Strong grasp of React fundamentals (functional components, hooks, props/state) and layout systems (Flexbox, Grid)
- •Experience working with Tailwind CSS and libraries like Radix, Headless UI, or shadcn/ui
- •Comfortable working in a real production-style codebase
- •Familiarity with Git workflows and preview deployments (e.g. Vercel)
- •Experience translating polished design specs into functional code
- •Comfortable navigating complex Figma files—extracting assets, understanding auto-layout and component behavior
- •High attention to detail when it comes to visual fidelity, interaction behavior, and polish
- •Exceptional communication skills—you write clearly, present your work confidently, and collaborate well across disciplines
- •Comfortable working both asynchronously and in real-time—sharing progress, giving updates, and contributing to team discussions
- •Collaborative and open—you balance design priorities with thoughtful technical input
What You'll Do
- •Work daily in tight 1:1 pairing with a product designer, turning Figma concepts into live prototypes in real time
- •Build prototypes in the same technologies as our production front-end (React/Next.js/TypeScript/Tailwind) using Cursor and Claude Code
- •Translate multi-screen Figma flows into working code, collaborating directly with designers throughout iteration
- •Iterate quickly through critique loops—prototypes are the primary artifact we use to communicate product ideas
- •Leverage the design system as your foundation—building new components only when necessary
- •Deploy to preview environments for async review, feedback, and stakeholder alignment
- •Offer input on technical feasibility and complexity as flows are finalized
- •Manage multiple workstreams, balancing major implementations with quick iteration or refinement needs
- •Collaborate with the product design org while sitting operationally close to the Design Systems and front-end engineering team
Nice to Have
- •Experience with animation libraries (Framer Motion, CSS transitions)
- •Understanding of accessibility fundamentals (semantic HTML, ARIA, keyboard navigation)
- •Familiarity with other AI-assisted development workflows and tools
