Summary:

** What We’re Building (and Why It’s Kind of a Big Deal)
** We’re a small team inside Trans Perfect building a
** massive internal platform**—a low-code application builder that’s powering how our entire company operates. It’s ambitious. It’s complex. It’s not “done.” And that’s exactly why it’s fun.

Think:
* Drag-and-drop UI builder
* Highly dynamic, data-driven interfaces
* Enterprise-scale... without enterprise-level red tape

We operate more like a
** startup embedded inside a global company**, which means we move fast, figure things out as we go, and need people who are excited to build something
* real* from the ground up.
** What You’ll Actually Be Doing
** 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*)
** The Kind of Engineer This Role Needs
** We’re not looking for someone who needs perfect specs and clean workflows.

We’re looking for someone who:
* 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

If you’ve worked in a perfectly polished, process-heavy dev org: this will feel different.

If you’ve ever said *“this could be built way better if we just...”*:  this is your playground.
** Core Technical Stuff (Yes, This Still Matters)
** 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)
* ** Type Script (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
** What It’s Like Working Here
** Let’s be real:
* We’re building something big with a
** small team
*** The structure isn’t perfect
* Priorities can shift
* We’re figuring some things out as we goBut also:
* You’ll have
** real ownership
*** Your decisions will
** actually matter
*** You won’t be stuck maintaining legacy code forever
* You’ll help define how this platform…
