Software Development Engineer III

What qualities are we looking for?

*Proficient understanding of Web Fundamentals - HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript

*Proficient understanding of CSS pre-processing platforms, such as LESS and SASS or CSS in JS

*Proficient understanding of at least one modern UI framework  React (preferred), Vue, Angular, or similar;      experience with TypeScript is expected

*Experience with modern state and data-fetching patterns TanStack Query, Redux Toolkit, Zustand, or m          equivalent  and monorepo tooling (Turborepo, Nx, pnpm workspaces)

*Experience with Webpack, Vite, TurboRepo, npm/pnpm, and CI/CD pipelines.

*Sound knowledge of design patterns and practices for writing clean, linted, maintainable and reusable code.

*Strong understanding of RESTful APIs, GraphQL, micro-frontends, and server-side rendering (SSR) vs.      static  site generation (SSG).

*Proficient understanding of cross-browser compatibility issues and ways to work around them.

*Strong grasp of performance engineering Core Web Vitals, bundle budgets, rendering performance — and    accessibility (WCAG) as first-class requirements

*Experience with TDD and unit/integration testing libraries (Vitest, Jest, Testing Library, Playwright/Cypress)

*Proficiency with AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or similar) — not just             autocomplete-level usage, but agentic workflows for large refactors, test generation, and code migration

*Ability to establish AI usage practices for a team  prompt/context conventions, guardrails, tool evaluation, and mentoring engineers on effective and safe AI workflows

What will you get to do here?

*Own end-to-end frontend architecture decisions rendering strategy, module boundaries, design systems for    complex, high-scale consumer products.

*Enable best practices to help the team achieve their technical tasks and continually thrive in improving the     technology of the product/team.

*Lead the team's adoption of AI tooling: define usage guidelines, evaluate new tools, and raise the bar for        how AI-assisted code is reviewed and verified.

*Develop user-facing features and apps, using AI tooling to move fast without compromising on quality.

*Build reusable code, libraries, and design systems for future use.

*Ensure the technical feasibility of UI/UX designs, using AI prototyping tools to explore and validate ideas     quickly

*Be extremely detail oriented to strive for pixel-perfect implementation across devices and viewports.

*Optimize applications for maximum speed and scalability, with measurable performance budgets.

*Understand the internals of third-party libraries being used, and know when to build vs. adopt

*Own end-to-end frontend architecture decisions rendering strategy, module boundaries, design systems for     complex, high-scale consumer products.
