Clickatell is an AI-driven chat commerce platform that powers leading global brands.
The RoleWe’re looking for a UI developer who knows that frontend development has fundamentally changed. You don’t write everything from scratch, you use AI to move faster, iterate quickly, and focus on building high-quality user experiences. Boilerplate UI code is not your job; building scalable, performant, and intuitive interfaces is. In this role, you’ll ship production-grade UI at high velocity using AI as a core part of your workflow.
Responsibilities- Build and own UI features using Angular, React, Type Script, and JavaScript.
- Use AI tools (Amazon Q, Cursor, Copilot, Claude, GPT) to accelerate development, refactoring, and problem-solving.
- Translate product and design requirements into high-quality, responsive, and production‑ready interfaces.
- Integrate frontend systems with backend APIs and services seamlessly.
- Work with Python-based services where required (e.g., integrations or AI‑driven workflows).
- Act as the final filter for AI‑generated code—identify flaws, edge cases, and performance issues before shipping.
- Ensure strong component architecture, reusability, and maintainability across the codebase.
- Write and maintain meaningful tests to ensure stability in a high‑velocity environment.
- Debug complex issues and optimize performance, responsiveness, and user experience.
- Strong expertise in Angular and/or React.
- Strong proficiency in Type Script and JavaScript.
- Deep understanding of component-based architecture, state management, and frontend design patterns.
- Strong experience integrating with REST APIs and backend systems.
- Solid understanding of performance optimization, rendering strategies, and frontend scalability.
- Familiarity with Python and backend interaction patterns.
- Actively use AI tools (Amazon Q, Cursor, Copilot, Claude, GPT) as part of your development workflow.
- Know how to structure prompts, manage context, and get reliable outputs from AI systems.
- Critically evaluate AI‑generated code and take full responsibility for what gets shipped.
- Take full ownership—“the AI wrote it” is never an excuse.
- Care deeply about quality, performance, and user experience.
- Have a tinkerer’s mindset—you experiment with new tools early and figure out what works.
- Optimize for speed and engineering excellence.
- Be comfortable operating in ambiguity and turning ideas into polished interfaces.
- Team Player:
Self‑directed and dedicated, engages positively with the team to solve problems. - Optimizing Processes:
Utilizes tools and resources efficiently, recommends continuous improvements. - Expert Thinker:
Offers practical, smart recommendations, stays up‑to‑date with industry trends, and provides technical advice. - Effective Problem‑Solver:
Resourceful, persistent, creative, analytical, and presentable in decision‑making. - Connecting Collaboratively:
Brings cohesion and delivers excellence, aligns operations across specialties. - Maximizing Awareness:
Self‑aware, recognizes emotional cues, follows through on commitments, listens, reflects, and responds effectively. - Enabling Strategy:
Implements action plans, considers implications for organization and customers. - Action Oriented Mindset:
Approaches technical activities to deliver value, eager to deliver improved solutions. - Embracing Change:
Invites change, stays focused, resilient, adaptable, open to innovation, learns from failure. - Driving Delivery:
Goal‑oriented, monitors processes to track toward goals, sets high standards, provides metric‑based improvements.
