Deep understanding of modern JavaScript (ES6+), TypeScript, and frontend performance optimization.
Experience with state management solutions (React Context, Redux, or Recoil).
Proficiency in CSS-in-JS solutions (Styled Components, Emotion) or CSS frameworks (Tailwind, Sass).
Experience optimizing large-scale React applications (bundle size reduction, code-splitting, hydration strategies).

Preferred Qualifications:

Familiarity with Vercel and its deployment ecosystem.
Experience working on multi-brand or white-label frontend applications using component libraries.
Strong knowledge of GraphQL (Apollo, Relay) and RESTful API integrations.
Experience with micro-frontends or modular frontend architectures.
Contributions to open-source React UI libraries or personal UI component projects.

Why Join Us?

High-impact role in a large, complex frontend codebase.
Work on cutting-edge frontend technologies in a modern React/Next.js ecosystem.
