Summary:

What We’re Building (and Why It’s Kind of a Big Deal)

We’re a small team inside TransPerfect building a massive internal platform—a low-code application builder that’s powering how our entire company operates. It’s ambitious. It’s complex. It’s not “done.” And that’s exactly why it’s fun.

Think:

• Not just a maintenance role

• You’ll be developing key features and capabilities

• Highly dynamic, data-driven interfaces

• Enterprise-scale… without enterprise-level red tape

We operate more like a startup embedded inside a global company, which means we move fast, figure things out as we go, and need people who are excited to build something real from the ground up.

What You’ll Actually Be Doing

You won’t do one thing; you’ll help define how this whole thing works.

• Build and evolve a drag-and-drop app builder used across the company

• Collaborate and shape frontend architecture decisions (React / Next.js)

• Implement highly interactive, state-heavy UIs

• Create component systems that non-developers can configure and use

• Balance performance, usability, and flexibility in a complex environment

The Kind of Engineer This Role Needs

We’re not looking for someone who needs perfect specs and clean workflows.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Is comfortable when things are a little messy

• Can figure things out without a playbook

• Wants responsibility.

• Doesn’t panic when priorities shift or structure evolves.

• Can think abstractly.

• Wants a career.

If you’ve worked in a perfectly polished, process-heavy dev org: this will feel different.

If you’ve ever said “this could be built way better if we just…”:  this is your playground.

Core Technical Stuff (Yes, This Still Matters)

We don’t expect you to know everything on day one, but you should have a solid foundation in:

• React / Next.js (you’ve built and deployed projects)

• TypeScript: you understand the why of types

• Modern CSS: Experience with Tailwind and/or MUI (we use both)

• State Management: Understand how data flow through a complex application

Design Mindset (This Is Big for Us)

We need engineers who care about UX, not just functionality.

• You can design dense interfaces that still feel usable

• You think about how users actually interact with systems

• You understand tradeoffs between flexibility and clarity

• You’re comfortable shaping UX—not just implementing it

What It’s Like Working Here

Let’s be real:

• We’re building something big with a small team

• The structure isn’t perfect

• Priorities can shift

• We’re figuring some things out as we go

But also:

• You’ll have real ownership

• Your decisions will actually matter

• You won’t be stuck maintaining legacy code forever

• You’ll help define how this platform evolves

Why This Role Is Worth It

If you’re looking for:

• A highly structured and predictable environment → this isn’t it.

• A chance to build something meaningful, complex, and evolving → this is it

• An ongoing challenge.

• Opportunities to find the path you want.

This is a role for someone who wants to:

• Build, not just maintain

• Influence, not just execute

• Ship real products used at scale

The Basics (Still Required)

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience

• A portfolio/Git account that shows you’ve built things

• Strong performance mindset

• AI can be a useful tool but our engineers are expected to function without it.

Final Thought

We’re not pretending this is a polished, perfectly structured role.

We are saying:
If you’re the kind of engineer who thrives in ambiguity, likes solving hard problems, and wants to help shape something big.

You’ll probably love it here.
