We are looking for a Senior Frontend Developer who is motivated to combine the art of design with the art of programming. You will work with the our team and bridge the gap between graphical design and technical implementation, taking an active role on both sides and defining how the application looks as well as how it works.

You’ll play a key role in improving the frontend architecture for scalability, performance, and maintainability. As the technical lead for frontend development, you'll work closely with the existing team, mentor developers, and set best practices to ensure a high-quality user experience.

We strive to build a strong culture of belonging so that every person feels included and have an equal opportunity to shine!

• Lead the technical direction of the frontend architecture and codebase modernization
• Drive improvements to our standards of security, reliability, performance, tooling, and quality
• Mentor and support other frontend developers, fostering a culture of learning and excellence
• Plan technical roadmaps to simultaneously deliver features and manage technical debt and testing
• Actively own features or systems and define their long-term health, while also improving the health of surrounding systems

• Extensive experience with React and modern frontend development
• Strong understanding of frontend architecture, performance optimization, and code quality
• Experience with mentoring, coaching, and pair programming with team members
• Feel comfortable working in a non-structured, agile development environment with short release cycles
• Lead technical architecture discussions and help drive technical decisions within your team
• Experience with mobile web development (responsive, adaptive) and mobile first website development principles

• Experience with web accessibility (a11y) and building inclusive, accessible user interfaces
• Experience working with PDFs in web applications such as rendering, generating, or integrating PDF-related functionality
• Experience with AI coding tools such as Copilot or Cursor
