Job Summary

We're looking for a strong Senior Front End Developer with exceptional attention to detail and a high bar for product quality. The ideal candidate notices inconsistencies, questions unclear UX, catches edge cases early, and can turn complex Figma designs into polished, pixel-perfect production interfaces. This is a hands-on role focused on building modern React applications in a fast-moving environment.

Experience building AI-powered products, data-heavy dashboards or internal tooling, and design systems or component libraries is an asset — as is a background in the music industry. We value engineers with strong product instincts who own outcomes rather than tasks, and who hold a high bar for clean code and sharp UI.

This position is a fixed-term 6-month contract, with the possibility of conversion to a full-time role contingent on business needs.

Responsibilities

• Build and ship features across our product — e.g., dashboards, tables, forms, data visualizations, internal tooling
• Translate Figma designs into production React components with a high bar for fidelity
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams across design, product, and engineering pods
• Contribute to our component library and shared UI patterns
• Review PRs and support teammates through pairing and knowledge sharing
• Other duties as assigned

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a relevant 2+ year diploma
• 5+ years of frontend development experience shipping production applications
• Expert-level React and Typescript experience: hooks, performance patterns, and component architecture at scale
• Proficient with modern tooling: Vite, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui, REST + GraphQL APIs
• Strong understanding of frontend architecture, component design, and scalable UI systems
• Excellent UI implementation skills with pixel-perfect attention to detail
• Comfortable working directly from Figma designs
• Strong Git proficiency — branching strategies, rebasing, and clean commit history
• Experience with frontend performance optimization — Core Web Vitals, bundle size, code splitting, and React rendering optimization
• Thorough PR reviews and sound engineering judgment
• Clear communicator who collaborate well across teams and pods
• Thrives with shifting priorities in a fast-paced environment
• Comfortable integrating AI tools into daily development workflow — using them to move faster without sacrificing code quality or engineering judgment (Cursor, Claude, GitHub Copilot, Codex CLI)
