## About the Role

* You've spent several years building production frontends with React, Next.js, and TypeScript.
 * You know Tailwind CSS well and you've managed client-side state with Zustand.
 * You test what you build - unit and component tests with Vitest, end-to-end tests with Playwright.
 * You're comfortable in Node.js with Express.js or Nest.js, and working against APIs from a microservices backend.
 * You work well in agile teams (Scrum/Kanban), you write clearly, and you're comfortable in English.
 * You have a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field - or the experience that makes one unnecessary., * You've worked with AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform. We're not in the cloud yet, so this is a plus, not a requirement.

## Description

Everything our users see runs on Next.js and React, and we'd like to hand it to you: the design system it's built from, how fast it loads, and whether everyone can actually use it.

You'll work closely with our software architects, product owners, and fellow developers: code reviews, pair programming, and the technical decisions that stick around.

Your mission

 * You build and maintain our design system in React and Tailwind, so features stay consistent instead of being rebuilt from scratch each time.
 * You own frontend performance in Next.js 16 - rendering strategy, bundle size, and what people actually experience on a mediocre connection.
 * You treat accessibility as a default, not as cleanup at the end of the sprint.
 * You develop the Node.js layer (Express.js, Nest.js) between the UI and our backend services, with Redis where caching helps.
 * You push for clean code and automated testing, and you share what you know instead of sitting on it.
 * You use coding agents as part of your daily workflow - directing their work, reviewing their output, and fixing what doesn't hold up. Writing code matters; knowing what good code looks like matters more.
