About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer who combines deep technical skill with exceptional attention to design detail. You’ll architect and deliver high-performance, secure, and maintainable frontends built with Vue.js 3, translating complex requirements into seamless, pixel-perfect user experiences. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who cares about code quality, scalability, and precision at every layer of the frontend stack.

Responsibilities

  • Architect, develop, and maintain large-scale applications using Vue.js 3, TypeScript, and modern tooling (Vite, Pinia, etc.).

  • Write clean, modular, and maintainable code that scales across teams and projects.

  • Build pixel-perfect interfaces from Figma or design specifications with precision in HTML, CSS, and animations.

  • Design and implement secure and efficient API integrations, including proper authentication, token handling, and session management.

  • Drive performance and accessibility improvements across browsers and devices.

  • Mentor junior developers, review code, and uphold high engineering standards.

  • Collaborate closely with product, backend, and design teams to deliver cohesive and performant experiences.


Requirements

Core Experience

  • 5+ years of professional frontend development experience, including 3+ years with Vue.js 3.

  • Deep understanding of Vue.js 3, the Composition API, component-driven design patterns, and state management using Pinia or Vuex.

  • Experience building applications with Nuxt 3, SSR, ISR, or hybrid rendering approaches.

  • Strong engineering background with expertise in frontend architecture, API design and integration, and secure token-based authentication (JWT, OAuth2).

  • Mastery of CSS, including Grid, Flexbox, preprocessors (Sass/Less), with proven ability to deliver pixel-perfect, responsive layouts.

  • Solid understanding of browser performance, caching strategies, and frontend optimization techniques.

  • Excellent grasp of modern build pipelines, Git workflows, and CI/CD deployment processes.

  • Familiarity with micro-frontend architectures or modular, component-library-driven systems.

Advanced Technical Strengths

  • Proven experience designing or scaling large frontend architectures, including modular structures, monorepos (Nx/Turborepo), or shared component libraries.

  • Hands-on experience with performance profiling (Lighthouse, Web Vitals, bundle analysis) and advanced debugging across rendering, network, and resource pipelines.

  • Experience defining and maintaining enterprise-level design systems, including Figma design tokens, Storybook component governance, and cross-team UI consistency.

  • Strong understanding of frontend security best practices, XSS, CSRF, CORS, CSP, secure storage, OAuth flows, and experience implementing secure session and token strategies.

  • Experience establishing testing strategies using Vitest, Cypress, or Playwright, with a mature approach to regression testing and QA.

  • Ability to set coding standards, conduct architecture reviews, and mentor engineers across different levels.

Nice to Haves

  • Familiarity with React (Next.js, RSC), or other modern frameworks such as Svelte/SvelteKit or SolidJS.

  • Understanding of backend fundamentals, Node.js, or serverless functions.

  • Awareness of accessibility standards (WCAG, ARIA) and strong UX intuition.
