  • Collaborate with the team to establish and enforce UI/UX standards, ensuring a cohesive look and feel across the entire application ecosystem.
  • Optimize frontend performance for real-time, data-intensive views including streaming and live-updating dashboards.

Requirements

  • Deep familiarity with the TanStack suite (Query, Table) and Material UI (MUI) or comparable component libraries.
  • Solid grasp of frontend architecture, state management patterns, and performance tuning.
  • Skilled in consuming HTTP-based protocols, including HTTP/2, streaming APIs, and real-time interfaces like WebSockets or SSE.
  • A background in developing data-heavy or analytics-driven dashboards is highly valued.
  • All offers of employment are contingent upon a successful background check.

Nice to Have:

  • Experience with backend technologies such as Python (FastAPI, Django, Flask) or Go (Golang).
  • Familiarity with relational databases (PostgreSQL) or analytical stores (ClickHouse) from a frontend integration perspective.
  • Exposure to message queues and event-driven systems (AWS SQS/SNS, Kafka, RabbitMQ) as a consumer.
  • Experience building or integrating with streaming or event-driven APIs.
  • Familiarity with deploying frontend applications to cloud environments, preferably AWS.
  • Awareness of observability, logging, and monitoring tooling as it relates to frontend applications.

Benefits & conditions
