## Job Description

We are looking for an experienced Frontend Software Engineer to build, maintain, and test features for a large-scale cloud management web console.

This is a hands-on engineering role for someone with strong React and TypeScript experience who is comfortable working in a mature, shared codebase and owning frontend features from requirements through implementation, testing, deployment, and verification.

A strong testing discipline is particularly important. Engineers are expected to write unit and integration tests alongside feature development rather than treating testing as a separate or optional activity.

You will work closely with engineering and product stakeholders in a distributed environment, integrate frontend experiences with production REST APIs, and build interfaces using established design systems and shared components.

• * *

## Key Responsibilities

### Frontend Engineering

• Build, maintain, and improve production frontend features using React and TypeScript.
• Develop complex forms, configuration workflows, dashboards, and other interactive application experiences.
• Apply strong React fundamentals, including hooks, state management, component architecture, and reusable patterns.
• Translate product and UI/UX requirements into reliable, maintainable production interfaces.
• Work within an established design system and shared component ecosystem rather than relying primarily on custom styling.
• Contribute to shared frontend components, libraries, tooling, and engineering patterns.
• * *

### Testing and Software Quality

• Write unit and integration tests alongside all feature development.
• Build testable frontend components and application logic.
• Maintain and improve existing test suites as functionality evolves.
• Diagnose and resolve regressions, edge cases, and production issues.
• Participate in peer code reviews and incorporate engineering feedback.
• Maintain high standards for code quality, reliability, readability, and maintainability.
• * *

### APIs and Application Integration

• Integrate frontend applications with REST APIs in production environments.
• Build user interfaces around complex API-backed workflows and configuration models.
• Handle application state, validation, errors, loading states, and API responses reliably.
• Collaborate with backend engineers when defining or troubleshooting frontend-to-service integrations.
• Diagnose issues across the boundary between frontend applications and backend services.
• * *

### Engineering Delivery

• Own features from requirements gathering and technical design through implementation, testing, deployment, and production verification.
• Work effectively within large shared codebases with established engineering standards.
• Use Git and pull-request workflows as part of day-to-day development.
• Work within automated linting, testing, build, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Contribute to technical discussions and identify appropriate implementation approaches and trade-offs.
• Use GenAI-assisted development tools effectively while maintaining engineering quality and ownership of the resulting code.
• * *

### Collaboration

• Work effectively with engineers, product stakeholders, and designers in a distributed environment.
• Communicate implementation decisions, blockers, risks, and progress clearly.
• Participate constructively in code reviews and technical discussions.
• Work independently while coordinating effectively with the broader engineering team.
• Document technical decisions and implementation details when appropriate.
• * *

## Qualifications

### Education and Experience

• 5+ years of professional frontend software development experience.
• Significant hands-on experience building production web applications with React and TypeScript.
• Demonstrated experience writing unit and integration tests as part of regular feature development.
• Production experience integrating frontend applications with REST APIs.
• Experience contributing to large, shared production codebases.
• Experience working with Git, pull requests, code reviews, and CI/CD workflows.
• Experience using GenAI-assisted coding tools as part of the software development process.
• Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• * *

### Technical Skills

• Strong production experience with **React and TypeScript**.
• Strong understanding of React hooks, component architecture, state management, and complex forms.
• Strong frontend testing experience, including unit and integration testing.
• Experience consuming and integrating **REST APIs** in production applications.
• Strong JavaScript and modern web development fundamentals.
• Experience working with established frontend architecture and shared component libraries.
• Strong Git and pull-request workflow experience.
• Experience with automated linting, testing, build processes, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Ability to debug frontend application issues and identify problems across UI, state, API, and application layers.
• Practical experience using GenAI-assisted development tools while independently validating and owning generated code.
• * *

### Preferred

• Experience working with monorepos.
• Experience building applications using established design systems or component libraries.
• Experience with Node.js, Python, or broader full-stack development.
• Experience developing GenAI-powered products or user experiences.
• Experience with complex cloud portals, developer tools, administrative consoles, dashboards, or configuration-heavy applications.
• Experience improving shared frontend tooling, architecture, or developer experience.
• Experience working in large engineering organizations or mature software platforms.
• * *

### Soft Skills

• Strong written and verbal communication.
• High degree of ownership and ability to work independently.
• Comfortable collaborating asynchronously across a distributed team.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Able to receive and provide constructive code-review feedback.
• Comfortable working within an established engineering environment and adapting to existing standards and patterns.
• Able to take a feature from an initial requirement through production delivery and verification.
• * *

### Please Note

• This is a hands-on frontend engineering role. We are looking for candidates with substantial production React and TypeScript experience, not primarily UI/UX design or website-focused backgrounds.
• Writing tests is an expected part of feature development. Candidates should have practical experience writing unit and integration tests for production frontend applications.
• Experience integrating frontend applications with REST APIs and working with complex forms or configuration workflows is important for this role.
• Candidates should be comfortable contributing to an existing large codebase with established linting, testing, code-review, and CI/CD practices.
• Experience using GenAI-assisted coding tools is required, but candidates must be able to independently understand, validate, test, and maintain the code they deliver.
• Experience with monorepos, design systems, Node.js/Python, or GenAI product development is preferred but not required.
• This role is currently focused on candidates based in Brazil, Mexico, Chile or Colombia.
