Senior Frontend Engineer

Job Description

Adeva is a global talent network connecting tech professionals with top companies worldwide. We’re partnering with a cutting-edge client in legal technology, building AI-driven tools to streamline workflows and enhance accessibility for legal professionals. Join us in creating high-impact solutions that emphasize user-centric design and seamless, real-time interactions.

Position Overview: Senior Frontend Engineer

As a Senior Frontend Engineer, you’ll lead the development of user-facing features using modern JavaScript frameworks—likely React—and Tailwind CSS. You’ll collaborate closely with design and product to build clear, responsive interfaces and help turn complex requirements into smooth, usable experiences.

This role involves owning UI work end-to-end, making thoughtful technical decisions, and contributing to frontend standards and architecture. While the focus is on the frontend, you should be comfortable connecting to APIs, handling real-time data when needed, and working with backend engineers to ensure everything fits together cleanly.

Responsibilities

• Lead the implementation of responsive, accessible interfaces using modern JavaScript frameworks and Tailwind CSS. Focus on delivering high-quality code and thoughtful, user-friendly features.
• Build and maintain real-time functionality in the frontend using WebSockets or similar tools, supporting interactive features like live updates or browser-based communication.
• Work closely with designers, product managers, and backend engineers to deliver well-integrated features. You’ll help shape how frontend and backend systems work together, without owning backend logic.
• Monitor and improve frontend performance across devices and browsers. Address slow or inconsistent areas, and help ensure stability at scale.
• Contribute to a strong codebase through code reviews, testing, and shared standards. Support a team culture that values clean, maintainable frontend code.
• Keep the user experience front and center, making sure the interface is usable, accessible, and feels consistent across the product.

Technical Proficiency

Must have experience with several of the following:

• Front-End Technologies: Advanced proficiency in JavaScript and TypeScript, with strong experience in frameworks such as React, Vue.js, or Angular.
• Real-Time Communication: Hands-on experience with WebSockets for enabling real-time, bidirectional communication, especially within front-end applications.
• UI/UX Design Principles: Familiarity with user interface design principles, creating visually appealing, responsive, and accessible interfaces.
• Back-End Integration: Experience with Python or Golang is a must, with a foundational understanding of RESTful APIs and GraphQL.
• Testing & Quality Assurance: Proficiency in front-end testing frameworks such as Jest, Mocha, and Cypress, ensuring the reliability and maintainability of code.
• Cloud Platforms: Familiarity with cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure) for deploying and scaling applications, particularly for front-end-focused workflows.
• CI/CD: Knowledge of CI/CD practices, including tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, or GitHub Actions to support a streamlined deployment pipeline.

Qualifications

• Strong experience with JavaScript and TypeScript, plus deep knowledge of frameworks like React (preferred), Vue, or Angular.
• Experience working with WebSockets or similar tools to build live, browser-based interactions.
• Solid understanding of layout, visual consistency, and accessibility. You don’t need to be a designer, but you should be confident in implementing good design.
• Comfortable working with REST or GraphQL APIs. You don’t need to build the backend, but you should know how to connect to it effectively.
• Experience with frontend testing tools like Jest, Testing Library, or Cypress to maintain confidence in your code.
• Experience with frontend testing tools like Jest, Testing Library, or Cypress to maintain confidence in your code.
• Fluency in English and Spanish.
