Front End Software Engineer; Intermediate

Frontend Software Engineer - Level Intermediate

Full-Time | Remote

DEPLOY has been retained to find an intermediate-level Frontend Software Engineer to join our team full-time and help our client build the next generation of AI-first web and SaaS products.

You’ll work across a portfolio of active client engagements, turning thoughtful designs into polished, performant, accessible interfaces — and you’ll do it alongside senior engineers, designers, and product leads who care deeply about craft.

This role is ideal for someone who has a few solid years of production front‑end experience under their belt, is fluent in Type Script and Next.js
, enjoys integrating modern CMS platforms, and is already pulling AI‑first development tools like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor into their daily workflow.

• Design, build, and ship user‑facing features for AI‑first web and SaaS products using Next.js, React, and Type Script.
• Translate Figma designs into pixel‑accurate, responsive, accessible interfaces that hold up across browsers and devices.
• Integrate headless CMS platforms — Sanity, Gatsby — wiring up schemas, structured content, and preview environments.
• Consume and build against REST and Graph
  
  QL APIs, including authentication, caching, and error‑handling patterns.
• Leverage AI‑first development tooling (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) to accelerate delivery while maintaining code quality and review discipline.
• Write component and end‑to‑end tests with Playwright and collaborate with QA on coverage, regression prevention, and CI quality gates.
• Partner with designers, product managers, and backend engineers across active client engagements to scope, estimate, and deliver work.
• Participate in code reviews, pairing, and technical discussions — giving and receiving clear, constructive feedback.
• Contribute to front‑end performance, accessibility, and SEO improvements using Lighthouse, axe, and Core Web Vitals tooling.
• Maintain clear documentation for components, integrations, and handoffs in Jira, Confluence, and project repositories.
• Identify technical risks early and communicate trade‑offs, estimates, and status clearly in an async, remote environment.

• 3–5+ years of professional software engineering experience with a primary focus on front‑end development.
• Strong proficiency in Type Script and modern JavaScript (ES2020+), including async patterns and type‑safe API design.
• Production experience building applications with Next.js and React, including App Router, server components, and data fetching patterns.
• Hands‑on experience with at least one headless or traditional CMS — Sanity, Gatsby.
• Working familiarity with AI‑first development tools such as Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor, and a pragmatic sense of when to use them.
• Experience writing automated tests with Playwright (or similar tools such as Cypress) and integrating them into CI.
• Comfortable translating Figma designs into production‑grade UI, with a sharp eye for spacing, type, and interaction detail.
• Solid grasp of HTML, CSS (including Tailwind or CSS‑in‑JS), accessibility fundamentals (WCAG, ARIA), and responsive design.
• Experience integrating with REST and Graph
  
  QL APIs, including debugging with browser Dev Tools and network inspection.
• Familiarity with Git, pull‑request‑based workflows, and CI/CD systems such as Git Hub Actions, Vercel, or Netlify.
• Ability to self‑manage time, deliverables, and communication across async, distributed teams.

• Write clear, concise updates and status reports to project managers and engineering leads on a regular cadence.
• Attend and actively contribute to project ceremonies including sprint planning, stand‑ups, reviews, and retrospectives.
• Collaborate with designers and product during requirements and design reviews to flag feasibility and UX concerns early.
• Write thorough pull request descriptions, commit messages, and inline documentation.
• Accurately track and report time against tasks and tickets in Jira.
• Raise scope changes, blockers, or conflicting requirements promptly so timelines and priorities can be adjusted.
• Communicate technical concepts to non‑technical stakeholders without jargon or hand‑waving.
