Web UI Developer - React

Job Description

Job Description :

We’re looking for recent experience with pure React+Typescript, with best practices from React 18 (like no CLASSical components or CLASSical HOCs). Frameworks on top of React (like NextJS) aren’t what we’re looking for.

No frameworks. NextJS and other frameworks “on top” or React are more a minus, than plus.

Candidate should have recent experience with Redux and Redux Sagas specifically (not alternatives like Zustand and other state management libraries). It can be ReduxJS Toolkit (also known as RTK), but I will get deep into what it solves and why, and how it works. We’re not leveraging RTK too much in our code base.

Candidate should have recent experience working on long term projects with at least 12-14 months on a single project/app, so that we could have candidates with correct mind set about how requirements evolve with time, and how we can make ourselves ready to adapt to changing requirements. Small product/company with 18 months contract is good fit. 6 months for huge international corporation is not. Long term contract with considerable degree of engineering ownership and freedom for huge international corporation is the best, but you can’t have everything, and so `long term with ownership and freedom` is preferred over “huge corporation”.

Candidate should have experience with working/creating/maintaining basic components (buttons, dropdowns, layouts, etc) without any 3rd party library such as Chakra, MUI, Antd, or others. They ought to be experienced with “styles-in-JS” pattern using either styled-components, or @emotion/styled. Preferably including advanced patterns like custom themes, theme mapping and wrappers, mobile responsive components, things like these.

Experience with latest data routing from react-router-dom is a plus, but not a deal breaker

Experience with mono repositories will be a plus (NX workspace is a huge plus), but not a deal breaker

When I’m sure they’re familiar enough with things listed above, I WILL ask about architecture layering, it’s “why” and “how”.

Practiced ownership over their engineering decisions, and being exposed to the autonomy and decision making outside of “what CSS style to apply here”

Required “soft Skills”

Good speaking and written English. During some of the recent interviews language barrier was a serious issue.

Should understand and being able to explain what they’re doing and how it works.

Good understanding of a higher level architecture and be able to have reasonable discussion about engineering and architecture conformity of the technical decisions they make.

Able to take long term consequences into consideration when making decisions.

Familiarity with technical debt, consequences of having it, and ideas how to avoid having it.
