Front-End Engineer
• Austin United States

We are seeking a deeply technical and innovative Front End Developer to join a specialized team responsible for the architectural migration of high-visibility marketing pages for a major global technology client. In this role, you will move from a legacy static HTML environment to a modern, scalable React-based architecture with Server‑Side Rendering (SSR). You will partner closely with Design and Engineering leads to build data‑driven, atomic UI components that consume structured content from a proprietary Headless CMS.

You must be comfortable working in a fast‑paced environment with shifting priorities.

• Component Architecture & Development:
  Design and build a library of shared, atomic, and composable UI components using React and Type Script. Ensure components are accessible and responsive across all viewports.
• Headless CMS Integration:
  Develop components that programmatically consume JSON data from the API, decoupling content from presentation. Work with JSON schemas to validate data structures.
• Migration & Re‑platforming:
  Lead the migration of existing pages from legacy builds to the new data‑driven architecture.
• Documentation & Tooling:
  Create and maintain comprehensive documentation for components using Storybook, detailing usage, variants, and integration points for future developers. Manage package publishing via advanced NPM/Artifactory workflows.
• Quality & Optimization:
  Deliver pixel‑perfect implementations. Ensure strict adherence to WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards and SEO technical requirements.
• Collaboration:
  
  Work closely with QA to resolve defects within a 24‑hour SLA. Collaborate with designers in a Shift Left mentality to ensure technical feasibility early in the process.

• Core Stack:
  Senior‑level mastery of React (life cycles, hooks, custom hooks) and Type Script (strong typing, interfaces).
• SSR
  
  Experience:
  
  Proven production experience with Server‑Side Rendering frameworks (e.g., Next.js, Remix).
• Styling:
  Deep expertise in Utility‑first CSS (Tailwind) or CSS Modules to create modular, non‑conflicting styles.
• Headless CMS & Data:
  Experience working with Headless CMS platforms (e.g., Strapi, Contentful, Sanity) and a solid understanding of consuming and validating JSON schemas.
• Testing:
  Ability to write and maintain robust unit tests (Jest, React Testing Library).
• Workflow:
  Proficiency with Storybook for component development and documentation. Experience with Git workflows.
• Visual Precision:
  Ability to translate designs from Figma/Sketch into code with high fidelity (pixel precision).

• Performance Engineering:
  Advanced knowledge of React profiling, rendering optimization, and bundle splitting.
• SEO:
  Technical SEO implementation experience.

• Excellent, full coverage medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Generous PTO and 15 company‑wide holidays
• 401k with company contribution
• Paid parental leave
• Work‑life balance with an emphasis on personal well‑being
• Career growth in a disruptor space & entrepreneurial opportunities within the Monks network
• A globally diverse & inclusive culture with employee resource groups such as S4 Melanin, Pride.
