Ready for freelance or full-time?

Due to new short-term and long-term projects, we can offer both options depending on your availability and our business needs ⚡️

We are seeking an experienced Front-end Engineer who takes ownership of delivery, feels comfortable in client-facing roles, and ships production-ready work independently.

The ideal candidate is proactive, communicates clearly, demonstrates strong AI-augmented problem-solving skills, and prioritizes performance, quality, and maintainability in every feature delivered 👇🏼

Core responsibilities

Front-End Development:
- Design, develop, and maintain high-performance user interfaces using Next.js and/or Astro
- Build performant websites leveraging SSR, SSG, ISR, and Islands Architecture
- Ensure cross-browser compatibility and responsive behavior across devices and viewports
- Deliver production-ready features and ensure their quality before review
- Write clean, maintainable, and efficient TypeScript code
- Diagnose and resolve performance issues using tools such as Chrome Performance Profiler and Bundle Analyzer
- Optimize and maintain strong Google Core Web Vitals
- Clearly communicate performance improvements and their business impact to clients
- Use AI-assisted workflows (Cursor, Claude Code, planning modes) to accelerate delivery
Headless CMS & Architecture
- Model scalable, intuitive content schemas (e.g., megamenu structures, modular page builders)
- Design maintainable content architectures for long-term editorial usability
- Integrate headless CMS solutions with both Next.js and Astro-based projects
- Think beyond implementation and consider long-term maintainability and editor experience
Client Communication & Ownership
- Participate in client demos and technical discussions confidently and professionally
- Communicate complex technical concepts in clear, concise language that non-technical stakeholders understand
- Investigate issues internally before challenging client assumptions
- Collaborate with teammates when necessary to resolve issues efficiently
- Take ownership of issues and collaborate with the team to resolve them effectively
- Take full ownership of features from implementation to final validation
- Contribute to technical proposals during presales or scope expansions when needed
Project Ownership
- Work independently and effectively manage time to meet deadlines
- Maintain clarity in documentation when required
- Ensure all delivered work meets professional standards before client review
- Protect the company’s reputation by delivering polished, reliable solutions

Recruitment Stages

Here’s what’s ahead in the process - only 2 steps:

👉 Loom recording. After you apply, you will receive an email with a few questions from us. You’ll have 2 working days to record and send back a short Loom video.

We use this step to better understand how you think, structure your answers, and approach problems - not just what your final answers are. PS. If you don’t see the email, check your spam folder.

👉 Video interview. A one-hour video meeting on Google Meet with your potential manager, a recruiter, and sometimes a future teammate.

We’ll tell you more about the company, talk about culture fit, and get to know your soft skills. As part of the meeting, we may include a short practical task - for example, solving a case study or (for technical roles) a live coding exercise - to see how you approach real-life problems and collaborate.
