Career: Senior Front-End Engineer - UI/UX Specialist

We are hiring a Senior Front-end and UI/UX Engineer with expert-level front-end skills and a strong understanding of technical SEO, performance optimization, and accessible design. You’ll bring not just clean code but thoughtful attention to how things work - across browsers, screen sizes, and search engines. This role is not for a visual designer who doesn’t necessarily use design tools like Figma or Sketch, but for someone who understands what good UX and clean UI look like and who can build them from scratch with semantic, performant, and SEO-optimized code - especially using modern frameworks like Next.js and Nuxt.
