Senior Frontend Engineer

Join our design-driven engineering team to craft world-class frontend systems for web/mobile powered by modern frameworks and AI-enabled backends. We're seeking a senior-level frontend engineer (5 to 8 years' experience) with strong design sensibilities and deep technical expertise across the modern frontend ecosystem. This is a full-time, on-site role in our Lahore office (with occasional hybrid flexibility).

Responsibilities

UI Architecture & Development

•⁠ ⁠Build scalable, performant web/mobile frontends using React (and beyond)

•⁠ ⁠Architect component-driven UIs with a strong emphasis on headless design philosophy

•⁠ ⁠Collaborate closely with designers to translate pixel-perfect designs into functional, elegant code

State Management & Reactivity

•⁠ ⁠Work with state management tools like MobX, SWR, TanStack Query, and Apollo Client

•⁠ ⁠Deeply understand reactivity principles and build data-driven, responsive UIs

•⁠ ⁠Design smooth interactions for real-time, AI-driven workflows

Component Craftsmanship

•⁠ ⁠Write reusable, accessible, and testable headless components using React Aria Components and custom solutions

•⁠ ⁠Champion best practices in headless component design, participating in (sometimes heated ) debates on the art of great components

•⁠ ⁠Push the boundaries of component APIs that balance flexibility and simplicity

Styling & Design Systems

•⁠ ⁠Implement design systems with TailwindCSS (including custom plugins where needed)

•⁠ ⁠Bring a strong sense of CSS craftsmanship which includes animations, responsive layouts, accessibility, and fine-grained control over visuals

•⁠ ⁠Collaborate with the design team to ensure brand consistency and aesthetic excellence

Routing & Application Flow

•⁠ ⁠Implement advanced routing strategies with React Router and TanStack Router

•⁠ ⁠Ensure smooth navigation, deep linking, and state synchronization across complex applications

TypeScript Excellence

•⁠ ⁠Write clean, strongly-typed code using TypeScript as the foundation of all development

•⁠ ⁠Apply deep understanding of type systems, generics, utility types, and advanced type manipulation

•⁠ ⁠Design type-safe APIs and components that prevent errors at compile-time and improve developer experience

•⁠ ⁠Mentor teammates on TypeScript best practices and type-level design

Collaboration & Mentorship

•⁠ ⁠Work hand-in-hand with backend, mobile, and product teams to deliver delightful user experiences

•⁠ ⁠Mentor junior developers on frontend architecture, styling best practices, and component design

•⁠ ⁠Actively participate in design/architecture discussions and bring creative solutions to the table

Qualifications

•⁠ ⁠5-8 years of professional frontend engineering experience

•⁠ ⁠Strong foundation in JavaScript/TypeScript, React, and the broader frontend ecosystem

•⁠ ⁠Expertise in TypeScript type systems, including advanced generics and type manipulation

•⁠ ⁠Expertise in CSS (and Tailwind), responsive design, and web accessibility

•⁠ ⁠Experience with headless UI libraries (React Aria, Radix, or custom implementations)

•⁠ ⁠Proficiency in state management and reactivity patterns (MobX, TanStack Query, Apollo, etc.)

•⁠ ⁠Solid understanding of routing, performance optimization, and testing

•⁠ ⁠Passion for frontend craftsmanship, design, and continuous learning

Why Join Us?

•⁠ ⁠A team that values design excellence as much as technical brilliance

•⁠ ⁠A culture of healthy debate around frontend architecture and component design

•⁠ ⁠Opportunity to build next-gen UIs that integrate seamlessly with AI-powered backends

•⁠ ⁠A collaborative environment where your ideas shape real-world products
