Frontend Engineer

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.
