What you'll do

We’re building a talent pipeline for top-tier Senior Frontend Engineers who are eager to shape the future of user-facing experiences at Clara. If you're passionate about frontend architecture, modern React development, and seamless user interactions—and would like to be considered for future openings—this is the place to start.

As a Senior Frontend Engineer, you’ll design and implement scalable web applications that are fast, secure, and visually consistent. You'll collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and backend engineers to build features that balance technical excellence with business impact.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Building high-quality user interfaces using React, JavaScript, and TypeScript

• Designing reusable frontend components with a strong focus on performance and scalability

• Integrating with RESTful APIs and ensuring seamless backend communication

• Maintaining visual and functional consistency across multiple applications

• Writing tests with tools like Jest, React Testing Library, or Cypress

• Contributing to deployment and automation flows using Rspack, GitHub Actions, and CI/CD pipelines

• Participating in design reviews, code reviews, and mentoring teammates

Who you are

We’re looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.

Must haves

• 5+ years of experience in frontend development, with a focus on React

• Strong proficiency in JavaScript, TypeScript, and component-based architecture

• Hands-on experience consuming RESTful APIs and working with testing frameworks

• Familiarity with Git, Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban), and modern development workflows

• Experience ensuring accessibility, responsiveness, and consistent styling across web applications

• Ability to mentor junior engineers and support team development

• Working proficiency in English and Spanish

• Self-driven, impact-focused, and adaptable to change

About Gen-e2

While the market is still largely AI-augmenting delivery, we have reinvented the SDLC to be AI First. Our approach is a game-changer in productivity and quality, with a strong collaboration between generative AI and our best talents:

• We now generate 95% of the entire product — code, documentation, infrastructure as code, and even design — with GitHub Copilot.

• The quality consistently exceeds the output of our best traditional engineering teams.

• A product repository houses all product artefacts, giving AI full project context for higher-quality generation.

• A library of rules and prompts defines coding standards, design principles, and security guidelines, ensuring enterprise-grade quality and scalability.
  With Gen-e2, we deliver end-to-end products 2–3× faster than traditional approaches, while raising the bar for engineering excellence.

Your Role 

As a Full Stack Engineer with a Front-End core (React), you’ll own the user experience and front-end architecture while keeping a strong end-to-end product mindset (APIs, data, performance, security, and delivery).

• Build modern, accessible user interfaces with React + TypeScript, following strong architecture practices, reusable component design, and clean hook patterns.

• Define and evolve scalable front-end architecture: conventions, modularization, design systems, code quality (linting/formatting), and a pragmatic testing strategy.

• Implement authentication and authorization flows integrated with IdentityServer, leveraging OAuth2/JWT, with secure session/token handling.

• Consume REST APIs (and GraphQL where applicable), ensuring robust error handling, state management, loading patterns, and resilient UX.

• Ensure excellent responsive design and user experience across devices and resolutions, with attention to accessibility (a11y) and UI consistency.

• Optimize performance (Core Web Vitals, bundle size, caching, rendering strategies, profiling) using Next.js (SSR/SSG) where relevant.

• Implement unit and component tests with Jest and React Testing Library (and e2e with Cypress/Playwright when applicable), ensuring quality and maintainability.

• Collaborate closely with Backend and UX/Product teams to ensure functional and technical alignment, delivering iteratively with a focus on impact.

• Contribute to the backend when needed (often Node.js/TypeScript or an equivalent stack): endpoints, integrations, data flows, reliability, and performance.

• Raise the bar on front-end security: Content Security Policy (CSP), safe token handling, authorization-aware UI patterns, and general hardening practices.

Who You Are

• 7+ years of React experience building production web products.

• Strong command of TypeScript, component design, hooks, patterns, performance, and maintainable front-end architecture.

• Solid experience with state management, including Context API, plus complex UI states, forms, and validations.

• Strong UX/UI engineering instincts: accessibility, visual consistency, attention to detail, and responsive-first design.

• Hands-on experience integrating REST APIs and working with OpenAPI/Swagger; resilience-first approach (errors, latency, edge cases).

• Practical testing skills with Jest and React Testing Library (ideally also e2e).

• Experience with Next.js (SSR/SSG), modern tooling (Vite), and UI frameworks like Tailwind CSS or Material UI.

• Familiarity with edge/CDN delivery (e.g., Azure Front Door) and caching fundamentals.

• Strong front-end security practices: CSP, secure token handling, and awareness of common risks (XSS/CSRF, etc.).

• Professional English for global collaboration (documentation, ceremonies, stakeholders).
