About the Role: Beyond a competitive compensation and benefits package, what we offer to all employees is the clear and simple promise of Opportunity Made Possible. Come expand your skills in new ways and experience the thrill of your innovations becoming reality. This role sits within the GIA Experience Team, which is responsible for designing and implementing high-performance, intuitive, and responsive interfaces for our AI platform. We’re seeking a motivated front-end engineer who can effectively bridge the gap between design and engineering, contributing significantly to both the 'what' and 'how' of implementation. You will work closely with backend, BFF, and product teams to bring modern, performant, and accessible experiences to life.

Key Responsibilities:

• Contribute significantly to the front-end architecture for GIA interfaces — focusing on design fidelity, performance, componentization, and responsiveness.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with product managers, UX designers, and AI/ML engineers to deliver seamless and intelligent user experiences.

• Implement high-performance, reusable components using React 18+ (knowledge of 19 is a plus) with TypeScript across web applications.

• Build dynamic and animated interfaces with attention to detail around motion, voice interaction, and responsiveness across browsers and devices.

• Integrate effectively with BFF (Backend-for-Frontend) and REST APIs, with an eye toward stability, observability, and testability.

• Actively contribute to and promote a culture of quality by contributing to CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions), unit and integration test coverage, and front-end performance observability.

• Play a key role in front-end development for initiatives including GIA-next, templating systems, editor experiences, and multimedia (images, video) integration.

Requirements:

• 3+ years of experience delivering impactful front-end applications in production environments.

• Solid experience and strong proficiency in React (including React 18+) and front-end ecosystems (ECMAScript 6+, TypeScript, CSS-in-JS, modern HTML/CSS).

• Good background in responsive design, cross-browser compatibility, and mobile-first development principles.

• Experience with (or strong interest in learning) animated interfaces, dynamic content, and voice-to-text/voice-to-voice interactions.

• Ability to understand and implement scalable front-end architectures that separate content, logic, and localization.

• Experience with GitHub, CI/CD pipelines, and modern version control practices.

• Hands-on integration experience with GraphQL/REST APIs, and familiarity with BFF patterns.

• Bonus: Experience with NodeJS, Go, or Python in backend or tooling contexts.

• Bonus: Interest or experience in document editing, collaborative interfaces, and AI-enhanced UX patterns.

Preferred Qualifications (Nice-to-haves, opportunities to learn):

• Experience with React Native or other cross-platform frameworks for mobile development.

• Background in, or strong interest in, voice interfaces, speech-to-text, or conversational UI design patterns.

• Understanding of accessibility (a11y) and internationalization (i18n/l10n) best practices.

• Familiarity with or keen interest in LLM-enhanced UX patterns, prompt management, and AI-human feedback loops.

• Interest in designing or implementing collaborative editing, template engines, or WYSIWYG document interfaces.

• Exposure to video/image manipulation, canvas-based rendering, or WebGL.

• Curiosity about or experience working alongside AI/ML model-serving environments (e.g., OpenAI, Hugging Face, internal LLM pipelines).

• Understanding of backend-for-frontend (BFF) design and GraphQL federation or composition.

We will consider for employment all qualified applicants who meet the inherent requirements for the position. Please note that background checks are required, and this may include criminal record checks.
