You'll own significant workstreams across a portfolio of active client engagements — front-end first, with real full-stack range — and you'll operate with a high degree of independence: scoping your own work, making sound technical decisions without waiting for direction, and shipping polished, performant, accessible product remotely and largely on your own.
This role is ideal for an exceptionally self-motivated engineer with deep production experience in TypeScript and Next.js, the ability to extend into APIs, data layers, and infrastructure when the work calls for it, and AI-first tools like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor already woven into their daily workflow.
What You Will Do
Own the design, build, and delivery of user-facing features and full-stack slices of AI-first web and SaaS products using Next.js, React, TypeScript, and Node.js
Translate Figma designs into pixel-accurate, responsive, accessible interfaces that hold up across browsers and devices
Integrate headless CMS platforms — Sanity or other headless CMS — wiring up schemas, structured content, and preview environments
Design, build, and consume REST and GraphQL APIs, including authentication, caching, data modeling, and error-handling patterns, extending into server-side code and databases where needed
Leverage AI-first development tooling (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) to accelerate delivery while maintaining code quality and review discipline
Own quality end-to-end — write component and end-to-end tests with Playwright, maintain CI quality gates, and prevent regressions without relying on downstream QA
Set technical direction on your engagements — make and document architectural decisions, weigh trade-offs, and raise the bar in code reviews
Drive front-end performance, accessibility, and SEO improvements using Lighthouse, axe, and Core Web Vitals tooling
Maintain documentation for components, integrations, and handoffs in Jira, Confluence, and project repositories that is clear enough for others to pick up without you in the room
Surface technical risks, trade-offs, and status proactively — on your workstreams, you are the primary signal
What We Definitely Need
Technical Requirements
8+ years of professional software engineering experience with deep front-end expertise and meaningful full-stack range
Expert-level TypeScript and modern JavaScript (ES2020+), including async patterns and type-safe API design
