Job description

We’re looking for a Nuxt 4 / Vue 3 leader who can both code and coach. About 60% of the time you’ll build responsive dashboards, Plotly charts, and virtualized TanStack tables that stay fast even with 100K+ rows. The rest is architecture decisions, mentoring, and keeping our GitLab pipelines healthy.

What you’ll do

  • Own frontend architecture and keep our CSR (client-side rendering) experience fast and stable.
  • Build reusable interactive analytics using D3.js / Chart.js / Plotly or similar tools with regression/trend overlays.
  • Guide developers via reviews, pairing, and clear standards.
  • Partner with backend/cloud teams on Redshift query shapes, Valkey caching layers, and Nitro endpoints.
  • Work within GitLab pipelines, SonarQube quality gates, and artifact-based releases.
  • Keep pipelines green (Vitest, Cypress, SonarQube) and watch performance/health checks.

Requirements

  • 10+ years building complex frontends; 3+ in a lead/mentorship role.
  • Deep Vue 3 Composition API knowledge (React hooks experts welcome).
  • Nuxt 4 and strict TypeScript experience.
  • Expertise in state management patterns (Redux, Pinia or Composables).
  • Comfortable customizing Bootstrap 5/SCSS themes.
  • Owns our enterprise SSO flows end-to-end (nuxt-auth-utils + Microsoft/Azure AD) and keeps route-level security tight.
  • Proven success with data-heavy products (virtual tables, trend overlays, fast filtering).
  • Testing mindset (Vitest + Cypress) and GitLab CI/CD ownership.
  • Hands-on with AWS Redshift Data API, S3, and Valkey/Redis caching.

Nice-to-haves

  • Prior Nuxt/Nitro architecture ownership.
  • SQL exposure in Redshift or similar warehouses.
  • SonarQube/quality gate tuning, MapLibre/WebGL, or performance-budget tracking.

Tech stack

  • Core: Nuxt 4 · Vue 3 · TypeScript 5
  • UI/Data: Bootstrap 5/SCSS · Plotly.js 3 · TanStack Table (Virtualization)
  • Quality: Vitest · Cypress · SonarQube · GitLab CI/CD
  • Cloud/Backend: AWS Redshift Data API · S3 · Valkey (Redis) · Nitro, * 10-12+ years frontend development.
  • 3-5+ years leading/mentoring.
  • 3+ years shipping Vue 3 Composition API or React Hooks applications
