Work closely with product, design, backend, and data teams to ship features that deliver measurable impact.
Own the frontend architecture and help drive technical decisions, best practices, and code quality across the Growth team.
Deep dive into metrics, experimentation, and user flows to build data-informed features.
Be hands-on in design reviews, debugging, testing, and improving frontend performance across browsers and devices.
Mentor other frontend engineers and contribute to a culture of technical excellence and experimentation.
What You Bring
9+ years of experience in frontend development with a proven track record of building and scaling web applications.
Deep expertise in React, JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3, and SPA architectures.
Strong understanding of UI/UX principles, responsive design, and frontend performance tuning.
Experience working on product-led growth, customer acquisition, and/or user engagement flows is a strong plus.
Familiarity with visualization libraries like Highcharts or D3 and backend integration patterns.
Solid grasp of frontend infrastructure (e.g., CDN, HTTP, caching, Nginx, Node.js).
Strong problem-solving, decision-making, and debugging skills.
