Sr React Developer

We have partnered with our client in their search for a Senior React Developer to work remotely.

Responsibilities We are modernizing our product UI, replacing a legacy front-end with a modern React application. This effort is a full UI rewrite and redesign, focused on improving usability, maintainability, and long-term scalability, rather than a screen-for-screen conversion. We are seeking a 10+ years experienced React engineer who has architected and built enterprise React applications from scratch: defining front-end architecture, setting engineering standards, and delivering critical modules hands-on with minimal oversight. Preference for candidates who have led migrations from legacy UI stacks into modern SPA frameworks.

• Own the React application architecture end-to-end: project structure, component strategy, routing approach, and front-end integration boundaries.
• Define and implement engineering standards for the UI codebase: reusable component patterns, conventions, linting/formatting, PR quality bars, and documentation to keep the system maintainable and scalable.
• Drive front-end decisions considering maintainability and ecosystem health (e.g., community support and update cadence were part of internal evaluation discussions).
• Implement foundational UI building blocks (navigation, layout, shared components) and deliver one or more key product modules end-to-end.
• Build UI components with strong accessibility practices in mind; internal discussion highlighted accessibility as a key consideration in framework choice and implementation approach.

Skills Required

• React + TypeScript expert; delivered large-scale SPAs and set coding standards·
• Front-end architecture for modular apps (admin/settings/case management separation)·
• React state management strategy and governance (consistent patterns across team)·
• Accessibility-first development (WCAG/ARIA/focus/keyboard; a11y testing)·
• Design system / component library integration; reusable, consistent UI components·
• UI entitlements: RBAC + feature toggles for module visibility and phased release·
• SPA authentication/session integration (token handling; secure flows; timeouts)·
• API integration patterns (BFF/aggregation/GraphQL-style thinking to reduce coupling)·
• Incremental modernization delivery (POCs, phased rollout, minimize disruption)·
• Solid foundation in working with third-party libraries (Redux, RxJS) and debugging dependency conflicts.

Education & WorkExperience

• 10+ years of professional software development experience with significant front-end focus.
• Deep, hands-on React experience building production-grade SPAs.
• Proven experience as a hands-on technical Sr. Engineer/lead who has built an application from scratch (greenfield foundations + delivery).
• Demonstrated ability to work independently with minimal oversight while driving architecture and delivery outcomes.
• Preferred: Experience modernizing or migrating legacy UI stacks (e.g., older server-rendered UIs) into a modern React SPA.
• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or Related Major
