React Engineer

As a Full Stack Engineer reporting to the Director – Software Engineering, you’ll play a critical role in building fast, accessible, and maintainable user interfaces that power our web applications at scale. You’ll directly impact how users interact with our products by pushing the boundaries of performance, design consistency, and seamless user experience.

You’ll thrive in this position if you’re a collaborative problem-solver, passionate about modern front-end technology, and energized by tackling complex UI challenges in a fast-paced, high-impact environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop scalable and maintainable front-end applications using React (or Vue with willingness to transition).

• Build responsive, accessible (a11y) UI components and integrate data from REST and GraphQL APIs.

• Optimize front-end performance, including bundle size, rendering speed, and overall user experience.

• Contribute to and help maintain the component library to drive UI consistency across products.

• Collaborate closely with design, backend engineering, and product teams to deliver end-to-end solutions in a large, multi-developer codebase.

Required Qualifications

• 3–5 years of experience building front-end applications with React or Vue (with readiness to switch to React).

• Strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript, ES6+ features, and web fundamentals.

• Experience working in large teams, shipping production code, and collaborating in code reviews and sprint ceremonies.

• Expertise with state management libraries (e.g., Redux) and component libraries (e.g., Material UI, Chakra UI, or custom internal libraries).

• Proficiency in responsive design, accessibility standards, and writing tests using frameworks such as Jest, React Testing Library, Cypress, or Playwright. Experience with monorepos (e.g., Nx, Turborepo, Lerna) is essential.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with React frameworks at scale (Next.js, Remix, Gatsby) and/or internal design systems.

• Familiarity with backend development in Java or another object-oriented language, as well as with Docker, CI tools, or cloud platforms.

• Strong profiling skills and experience with performance tooling.

This position will be located in Denver or Atlanta and offers the opportunity for a hybrid work environment at least 3 days a week in office, subject to change, providing flexibility and accessibility for qualified candidates.
