Lead by example in code quality, accessibility, and attention to detail
-
Write clear, concise UI copy for buttons, tooltips, and error states
What We’re Looking For

Mastery of React, TypeScript, and modern frontend engineering
-
Deep experience with performance tuning, state management, and scalable architectures
-
Strong product/design instincts and obsession with UI polish
