Your Next Destination – lawpilots
Do you want more than just developing software – do you want to help shape a pioneering product that truly reaches people? As a Senior Front-End Engineer, you will build and enhance our sophisticated EdTech platform that helps companies worldwide deliver digital training in data protection, information security, ESG, and compliance. You'll work with a modern React/TypeScript stack, own critical features, and directly impact how organizations educate their teams. Enterprise-grade tech stack, clear ownership, real impact.

Ready for Take-off – Your Mission

• In your role as Senior Front-End Engineer, you will work directly with our VP Engineering, Sebastian Belle, and our engineertin team.
• You will be responsible for delivering exceptional user experiences through high-quality, performant front-end solutions.
• Your work will involve architecting and implementing complex React components using our Material-UI based design system, ensuring consistency and performance across our platform.
• Your expertise will be crucial in maintaining and evolving our Redux Toolkit/RTK Query state management architecture, optimizing data fetching and caching strategies.
• You will champion TypeScript best practices, ensuring type safety across our entire frontend codebase and API integrations.
• With your contribution, you will enhance our internationalization capabilities using i18next, making our platform accessible to users globally.
• You will take ownership of frontend performance optimization, from bundle size reduction to runtime efficiency improvements.
• Together with the team, you will maintain and expand our comprehensive testing suite using Jest and React Testing Library.
• As part of our engineering culture, you will participate in code reviews, contribute to architectural decisions, and mentor junior developers.

What You Bring On Board - Your Profile

• You have extensive hands-on experience with Material-UI (MUI v5) and building custom design systems on top of it.
• State management with Redux Toolkit and RTK Query is second nature to you – you understand caching strategies, optimistic updates, and complex state synchronization.
• You're proficient with modern build tools, particularly Webpack 5 configuration, and understand the nuances of optimization techniques.
• Testing is part of your development workflow – you write comprehensive tests using Jest and React Testing Library as naturally as you write features.

• You communicate complex technical concepts clearly and collaborate effectively with designers, backend engineers, and product managers.
