YOUR PROFILE
You’ve built and maintained complex frontend systems across web and desktop environments and know what it means to carry a feature from rough idea to production. You think in systems, advocate for your decisions with clarity, and know how to move teams forward — even when the path isn’t obvious.
Technical Skills
Expert-level knowledge of React and frontend architecture; Electron experience is a strong plus for our desktop client stack
Strong grasp of performance optimization, virtualization, and rendering strategies for real-time UIs
Experience working with local client-side databases (e.g., IndexedDB or alternatives), Web Workers, WASM-based libraries, and large in-browser data sets
Familiarity with secure messaging protocols (e.g., MLS, WebRTC, or E2EE media flows) is a plus, especially in real-time or privacy-focused applications
Understanding of file management flows — uploads, streaming, previews, and integration with storage systems like S3
Experience working in modular or multi-package codebases, including monorepos, using tooling like Webpack, npm scripts, and shared frontend infrastructure
Familiar with maintaining or improving CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins)
Strong testing practices — you care about both unit and e2e test coverage (e.g., Playwright)
Soft Skills
You mentor by example — others look to you for architectural clarity and grounded guidance.
You are fluent in English and can contribute effectively to an international team.
You can break down complex trade-offs and drive alignment without shutting down alternative views.
You are proactive — when you spot tech debt or poor architecture, you don’t wait for someone to ask. You take initiative.
You’re reliable and self-aware — you follow through on what you commit to, ask for help when needed, and communicate clearly.
You understand that being a senior engineer means not only writing great code, but also helping others grow and succeed.
You contribute to a culture of accountability, openness, and growth.
You’re comfortable being challenged, and challenging others, while setting aside your own ego.
