Frontend Engineer — Minneapolis, MN

About The Role

The Frontend Engineer role owns the client-facing surface of the product — building fast, accessible interfaces that thousands of users interact with daily. The team ships production React and TypeScript code across a modern SPA architecture, with real ownership over component libraries, state management patterns, and rendering performance.

The role sits at the intersection of design and infrastructure: translating Figma specs into pixel-accurate, tested UI while collaborating with backend engineers on API contracts and GraphQL/REST integration. Every feature shipped by this team is visible to users within a sprint.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and maintain user-facing features in React and TypeScript, delivering production-ready components on a two-week release cycle

• Design and evolve a shared component library with Storybook, enforcing accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1 AA) across the product surface

• Optimize frontend performance: bundle analysis, code splitting, lazy loading, and Core Web Vitals tuning for applications serving high daily traffic

• Integrate REST and GraphQL APIs, owning data-fetching layers and client-side caching strategy (React Query, Apollo, or similar)

• Write comprehensive unit and integration tests with Jest, React Testing Library, and Playwright; maintain CI pipelines that gate merges on coverage

• Collaborate directly with product designers to review specs, flag technical constraints early, and prototype interaction details

• Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and incident triage when frontend issues reach production

What We Are Looking For

• 3–6 years of professional frontend engineering experience building and maintaining production web applications

• Deep expertise in React, TypeScript, and modern JavaScript (ES6+), with strong opinions on component architecture and state management (Redux, Zustand, or equivalent)

• Hands-on experience with CSS-in-JS or utility frameworks (Tailwind, styled-components) and building responsive, accessible layouts

• Proven track record diagnosing and fixing performance bottlenecks — rendering, bundling, network — using DevTools and profiling tools

• Experience with automated testing at multiple levels and integrating frontend builds into CI/CD pipelines

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience

• Bonus: experience with Next.js or server-side rendering, design system ownership, WebGL/data visualization, or contributing to open-source frontend tooling
