About the Role:

We’re looking for a Senior UI/UX Engineer who is passionate about building polished, intuitive user interfaces that elevate the product experience. You will play a key role in shaping the visual and interactive language of our application using React and TypeScript, working closely with product, design and engineering teams. You are comfortable working in a fast-paced environment, working on prototyping to enterprise-ready features.

This is not just a coding role — we’re looking for someone who can articulate ideas clearly, challenge assumptions thoughtfully, and care deeply about how things look, feel, and behave for our end users. You will work on user flows, product features, and will also work on improving the developer experience, contributing to the new design system and ensuring that components are well documented, reusable, tested, syncing with Figma to bridge the gap between design and code, and paving the way for new ways of developing UI with automation.

You Will:

Build high-quality, maintainable front-end features using React and TypeScript
Collaborate with design and product teams to translate wireframes and prototypes into accurate UI
Champion consistency in UI behavior, accessibility, and responsive design
Contribute to and evolve our component libraries and design systems
Identify and resolve UI/UX issues with a keen eye for visual and interaction detail
Advocate for users by raising concerns about usability, performance, or technical debt
Mentor junior engineers and provide technical guidance through code reviews and knowledge sharing
Communicate design trade-offs, implementation options, and technical constraints to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

You Have:

5+ years of experience developing complex web applications with React and TypeScript
A strong design sensibility — you sweat the details in layout, motion, spacing, and polish
Deep understanding of modern front-end principles including component architecture, state management, and accessibility
Familiarity with testing frameworks (e.g., Jest, Vitest, React Testing Library) and performance optimization strategies
Experience collaborating with design teams and contributing to scalable design systems
Proven ability to clearly articulate technical and visual ideas in writing and conversation
Ability to work independently and own features from conception to deployment

Nice to Have:

Experience working with AI tools for design or development (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Figma AI features, UI prototyping with AI, automated code generation tools)
Experience designing wireframes & mockups in Figma (or similar tools)
Experience using streaming platforms such as Redpanda or Apache Kafka
Experience with microfrontend architecture (e.g: Module Federation)
Experience with protobuf, react-query and other data fetching methodologies
