Design of User Interfaces JSON Performance Tuning Next.js TypeScript Web Applications Tailwind ReactJS No-code Tools Low-code Front End Software Development

Job description

You won’t just “work on UI.” You’ll help define how this whole thing works.

  • Build and evolve a drag-and-drop app builder used across the company
  • Collaborate and shape frontend architecture decisions (React / Next.js)
  • Implement highly interactive, state-heavy UIs
  • Create component systems that non-developers can configure and use
  • Balance performance, usability, and flexibility in a complex environment
  • Partner closely with product and design (who have opinions) and engineering (who have different opinions)

Requirements

  • Is comfortable when things are a little messy
  • Can figure things out without a playbook
  • Has strong eye for design and knows when to pivot
  • Can think like both a developer and a designer
  • Doesn’t panic when priorities shift or structure evolves, You’ll need to be strong here, we’re building something non-trivial.
  • React / Next.js (deep experience, not surface-level)
  • Advanced state management (handling complex, nested, high-volume UI state)
  • TypeScript (strict mode)-you’re comfortable modeling complex systems
  • Component architecture-you’ve built systems, not just screens
  • Styling systems (we use a mix of MUI + Tailwind… yes, really, so experience in both is preferred)
  • Performance tuning (keeping things smooth even when they shouldn’t be)

Bonus points:

  • Experience with low-code/no-code tools
  • Thinking in JSON schemas / UI-as-data
  • Building drag-and-drop interfaces

Design Mindset (This Is Big for Us)

We need engineers who care about UX, not just functionality.

  • You can design dense interfaces that still feel usable
  • You think about how users actually interact with systems
  • You understand tradeoffs between flexibility and clarity
  • You’re comfortable shaping UX-not just implementing it, * Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience
  • Experience building highly interactive web apps
  • Strong performance mindset
  • Familiarity with modern frontend tooling
