About the role
Frontend Software Engineer
Type: Remote Contract Location: Brazil, Mexico, Chile or Colombia Coverage: Pacific Time overlap required
----------------------------------------
Job Description:
We are looking for an experienced Frontend Software Engineer to build, maintain, and test features for a large-scale cloud management web console.
This is a hands-on engineering role for someone with strong React and TypeScript experience who is comfortable working in a mature, shared codebase and owning frontend features from requirements through implementation, testing, deployment, and verification.
A strong testing discipline is particularly important. Engineers are expected to write unit and integration tests alongside feature development rather than treating testing as a separate or optional activity.
You will work closely with engineering and product stakeholders in a distributed environment, integrate frontend experiences with production REST APIs, and build interfaces using established design systems and shared components.
----------------------------------------
Key Responsibilities:
Frontend Engineering:
* Build, maintain, and improve production frontend features using React and TypeScript.
* Develop complex forms, configuration workflows, dashboards, and other interactive application experiences.
* Apply strong React fundamentals, including hooks, state management, component architecture, and reusable patterns.
* Translate product and UI/UX requirements into reliable, maintainable production interfaces.
* Work within an established design system and shared component ecosystem rather than relying primarily on custom styling.
* Contribute to shared frontend components, libraries, tooling, and engineering patterns.
----------------------------------------
Testing and Software Quality:
* Write unit and integration tests alongside all feature development.
* Build testable frontend components and application logic.
* Maintain and improve existing test suites as functionality evolves.
* Diagnose and resolve regressions, edge cases, and production issues.
* Participate in peer code reviews and incorporate engineering feedback.
* Maintain high standards for code quality, reliability, readability, and maintainability.
----------------------------------------
APIs and Application Integration:
* Integrate frontend applications with REST APIs in production environments.
* Build user interfaces around complex API-backed workflows and configuration models.
* Handle application state, validation, errors, loading states, and API responses reliably.
* Collaborate with backend engineers when defining or troubleshooting frontend-to-service integrations.
* Diagnose issues across the boundary between frontend applications and backend services.
----------------------------------------
Engineering Delivery:
* Own features from requirements gathering and technical design through implementation, testing, deployment, and production verification.
* Work effectively within large shared codebases with established engineering standards.
* Use Git and pull-request workflows as part of day-to-day development.
* Work within automated linting, testing, build, and CI/CD pipelines.
* Contribute to technical discussions and identify appropriate implementation approaches and trade-offs.
* Use GenAI-assisted development tools effectively while maintaining engineering quality and ownership of the resulting code.
----------------------------------------
Collaboration:
* Work effectively with engineers, product stakeholders, and designers in a distributed environment.
* Communicate implementation decisions, blockers, risks, and progress clearly.
* Participate constructively in code reviews and technical discussions.
* Work independently while coordinating effectively with the broader engineering team.
* Document technical decisions and implementation details when appropriate.
----------------------------------------
Qualifications:
Education and Experience:
* 5+ years of professional frontend software development experience.
* Significant hands-on experience building production web applications with React and TypeScript.
* Demonstrated experience writing unit and integration tests as part of regular feature development.
* Production experience integrating frontend applications with REST APIs.
* Experience contributing to large, shared production codebases.
* Experience working with Git, pull requests, code reviews, and CI/CD workflows.
* Experience using GenAI-assisted coding tools as part of the software development process.
* Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
----------------------------------------
Technical Skills:
* Strong production experience with React and TypeScript.
* Strong understanding of React hooks, component architecture, state management, and complex forms.
* Strong frontend testing experience, including unit and integration testing.
* Experience consuming and integrating REST APIs in production applications.
* Strong JavaScript and modern web development fundamentals.
* Experience working with established frontend architecture and shared component libraries.
* Strong Git and pull-request workflow experience.
* Experience with automated linting, testing, build processes, and CI/CD pipelines.
* Ability to debug frontend application issues and identify problems across UI, state, API, and application layers.
* Practical experience using GenAI-assisted development tools while independently validating and owning generated code.
----------------------------------------
Preferred:
* Experience working with monorepos.
* Experience building applications using established design systems or component libraries.
* Experience with Node.js, Python, or broader full-stack development.
* Experience developing GenAI-powered products or user experiences.
* Experience with complex cloud portals, developer tools, administrative consoles, dashboards, or configuration-heavy applications.
* Experience improving shared frontend tooling, architecture, or developer experience.
* Experience working in large engineering organizations or mature software platforms.
----------------------------------------
Soft Skills:
* Strong written and verbal communication.
* High degree of ownership and ability to work independently.
* Comfortable collaborating asynchronously across a distributed team.
* Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
* Able to receive and provide constructive code-review feedback.
* Comfortable working within an established engineering environment and adapting to existing standards and patterns.
* Able to take a feature from an initial requirement through production delivery and verification.
----------------------------------------
Please Note:
* This is a hands-on frontend engineering role. We are looking for candidates with substantial production React and TypeScript experience, not primarily UI/UX design or website-focused backgrounds.
* Writing tests is an expected part of feature development. Candidates should have practical experience writing unit and integration tests for production frontend applications.
* Experience integrating frontend applications with REST APIs and working with complex forms or configuration workflows is important for this role.
* Candidates should be comfortable contributing to an existing large codebase with established linting, testing, code-review, and CI/CD practices.
* Experience using GenAI-assisted coding tools is required, but candidates must be able to independently understand, validate, test, and maintain the code they deliver.
* Experience with monorepos, design systems, Node.js/Python, or GenAI product development is preferred but not required.
* This role is currently focused on candidates based in Brazil, Mexico, Chile or Colombia.
