Frontend Software Engineer - Level Intermediate
Full-Time | Remote
DEPLOY has been retained to find an intermediate-level Frontend Software Engineer to join our team full-time and help our client build the next generation of AI-first web and SaaS products.
You'll work across a portfolio of active client engagements, turning thoughtful designs into polished, performant, accessible interfaces — and you'll do it alongside senior engineers, designers, and product leads who care deeply about craft.
This role is ideal for someone who has a few solid years of production front-end experience under their belt, is fluent in TypeScript and Next.js, enjoys integrating modern CMS platforms , and is already pulling AI-first development tools like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor into their daily workflow.
What you will do
Design, build, and ship user-facing features for AI-first web and SaaS products using Next.js, React, and TypeScript
Translate Figma designs into pixel-accurate, responsive, accessible interfaces that hold up across browsers and devices
Integrate headless CMS platforms — Sanity, Gatsby — wiring up schemas, structured content, and preview environments
Consume and build against REST and GraphQL APIs, including authentication, caching, and error handling patterns
Leverage AI-first development tooling (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) to accelerate delivery while maintaining code quality and review discipline
Write component and end-to-end tests with Playwright and collaborate with QA on coverage, regression prevention, and CI quality gates
Partner with designers, product managers, and backend engineers across active client engagements to scope, estimate, and deliver work
Participate in code reviews, pairing, and technical discussions — giving and receiving clear, constructive feedback
Contribute to front-end performance, accessibility, and SEO improvements using Lighthouse, axe, and Core Web Vitals tooling
Maintain clear documentation for components, integrations, and handoffs in Jira, Confluence, and project repositories
Identify technical risks early and communicate trade-offs, estimates, and status clearly in an async, remote environment
What we definitely need
3–5+ years of professional software engineering experience with a primary focus on front-end development
Strong proficiency in TypeScript and modern JavaScript (ES2020+), including async patterns and type-safe API design
Production experience building applications with Next.js and React, including App Router, server components, and data fetching patterns
Hands-on experience with at least one headless or traditional CMS — Sanity, Gatsby
Preferred
Working familiarity with AI-first development tools such as Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor, and a pragmatic sense of when to use them
Experience writing automated tests with Playwright (or similar tools such as Cypress) and integrating them into CI
Comfortable translating Figma designs into production-grade UI, with a sharp eye for spacing, type, and interaction detail
Solid grasp of HTML, CSS (including Tailwind or CSS-in-JS), accessibility fundamentals (WCAG, ARIA), and responsive design
Experience integrating with REST and GraphQL APIs, including debugging with browser
DevTools and network inspection
Familiarity with Git, pull-request-based workflows, and CI/CD systems such as GitHub
Actions, Vercel, or Netlify
Ability to self-manage time, deliverables, and communication across async, distributed teams
Communication
Write clear, concise updates and status reports to project managers and engineering leads on a regular cadence
Attend and actively contribute to project ceremonies including sprint planning, stand-ups, reviews, and retrospectives
Collaborate with designers and product during requirements and design reviews to flag feasibility and UX concerns early
Write thorough pull request descriptions, commit messages, and inline documentation
Accurately track and report time against tasks and tickets in Jira
Raise scope changes, blockers, or conflicting requirements promptly so timelines and priorities can be adjusted
Communicate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders without jargon or hand-waving
