We've onboarded some of the world's most reputable brands and now we need a React Full-Stack Engineer, Front-end focus for one of our clients.


THE OPPORTUNITY

Our client is building meaningful software, and that gets us excited. Non-technical teams are using tools like Airtable, Zapier, Integromat and Tray to eliminate manual work and turn their teams into automated powerhouses. One of the biggest things holding them back is being able to rely on these no-code tools for critical infrastructure. That’s what they’re working on.


They’ve built the first error monitoring solution for no-code - letting users of Zapier and Integromat know when there’s an issue with their business-critical automation. They help teams collaborate on a fix the same way Pagerduty has helped address downtime in dev teams - assigning incidents, resolving problems, and documenting how future errors get fixed.


But error monitoring is just the first step. How do they bring the full suite of devops principles to no-code?

THE TEAM

Our client's engineering team is the perfect mix of curious developers and no-code pioneers. They use the latest frameworks not to chase trends, but to sharpen their skills as engineers and stay on the forefront of the industry. They work asynchronously, actually. Two meetings per week, and they heavily rely on Slack, Loom, Linear and Notion to keep us all informed while giving us the time to plug in, without distractions, to do their best work.


THE ROLE

They are looking for a talented front-end focused full-stack React developer to join their team. This role entails a great deal of ownership over the web application as the first dedicated front-end hire on their team. You’ll be supported by a full-stack engineer to help with building features, and a backend team who can make sure you have all the data you need. They also have a prototype frontend in production, so you’ll be able to reference both Figma designs and working prototypes as you help us transition to React.


You will work closely with their design lead to translate Figma designs into pixel-perfect React components, and will be expected to have a strong understanding of frontend frameworks like Tailwind and NextJS.


What makes and keeps this role exciting is that it:

  • allows you to focus on developing your frontend craft and design skills

  • Builds your portfolio with practical B2B dashboards
