ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer to own the user-facing surface of a visually polished, client-demo-ready application built in React, Next.js, and TypeScript, bridging the gap between a non-tokenized Figma UI kit and a coded Storybook component library. You will build and document missing components natively into the existing design system, consume REST APIs to present complex data-dense UI states clearly, and use AI-assisted development tools including Claude Code with the critical judgment to push back on shortcuts that compromise long-term maintainability.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• UI Development: Build a visually polished, demo-ready front-end using Kepler's mesh-ts React framework, React, Next.js, and TypeScript.

• Component Library Contribution: Identify gaps between the Figma UI kit and the coded Storybook, then build and document the missing components natively into the existing library.

• API Integration: Consume REST APIs and present complex, synthesized data (creator insights, AI-generated scores) clearly and performantly.

• Design Partnership: Work with design to resolve the non-tokenized Figma kit into consistent, reusable coded primitives.

• AI-Accelerated Implementation: Use Claude Code (pointed at AWS Bedrock) to move fast during implementation — while critically evaluating AI-generated output and pushing back when it isn't the right long-term solution.

• Stakeholder Alignment: Drive conversations directly with engineers and designers to clarify both functional and non-functional requirements, rather than defaulting to whatever "just works" in the short term.

• Synchronous Collaboration: Work daily alongside engineers over Slack and Google Meet.

MUST HAVES

5–7 years of frontend software development experience .

• Strong TypeScript and React proficiency, including Next.js — with a demonstrated discipline of no lazy any usage and genuine comfort with a strictly typed codebase.

• Demonstrated ability to deliver visually polished, demo-quality interfaces — strong eye for detail, spacing, and interaction feel, not just functional correctness.

• Experience contributing to or maintaining a shared component library / design system, including Storybook .

• Comfortable translating Figma designs into code , including when the source designs are not tokenized and require judgment to systematize.

• Solid experience consuming REST APIs and handling complex, data-dense UI states (loading, partial data, large result sets).

• High comfort level working entirely in a Mac/Linux terminal environment (Bash, Makefiles), including modern JS tooling (bun or comparable).

• Practical, hands-on use of AI-assisted development tools , paired with the critical judgment to challenge AI output when it compromises long-term maintainability.

Strong soft skills (mandatory, not a bonus) : the ability to hold and defend a technical opinion — challenging a stakeholder's or a designer's proposed "quick fix" with sound reasoning in pursuit of a solution that scales and is maintainable long-term, while still being pragmatic enough to ship.

• Upper-intermediate English level.

NICE TO HAVES

• Experience with bun specifically, or with non-default JS runtimes/package managers.

• Design-token systems and theming architecture experience.

• Data-visualization experience (charts, dashboards, analytics-heavy interfaces).

• Enough Python familiarity to read backend code and reason about API contracts.

• Familiarity with Auth0 or front-end authorization/permission-gated UI patterns.
