Lead Frontend Engineer - React JS

Job Description

We are seeking a Senior/Lead Frontend Engineer with 10+ years of experience and a recent pivot toward AI-augmented development workflows. In this role, you will lead the team in shipping high-performance, real-time interfaces for financial risk management (FRM) systems, translating high-fidelity designs into clean, production-grade React, and using modern AI tooling (Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Lovable, v0.dev) to accelerate delivery without sacrificing architectural quality.

Key Responsibilities

• AI-Driven Development: Lead the team in leveraging Cursor and GitHub Copilot to accelerate feature delivery, refactor legacy code, and automate boilerplate.
• Figma-to-Product Execution: Translate high-fidelity Figma designs into pixel-perfect React components, using AI-assisted tools to bridge the gap between design and clean production code.
• Rapid Prototyping: Use Lovable or v0.dev to quickly iterate on internal tools and dashboards, then harden those prototypes into scalable, secure, and performant React architectures.
• Real-Time FRM Systems: Architect low-latency features (WebSockets / gRPC-web) to handle live risk-data updates, keeping the UI responsive under high data load.
• State Management Mastery: Manage complex asynchronous workflows using Redux + Sagas for sophisticated side effects, and implement TanStack Query for modern server-state synchronization.
• Performance Engineering: Ensure frequent real-time updates do not trigger unnecessary re-renders, maintaining a 60fps feel even with massive datasets.

Required Qualifications

• 10+ Years of Professional Experience in frontend engineering, with a recent pivot toward AI-augmented workflows.
• AI Tooling Mastery: Proficiency with VSCode, Cursor (indexing, composer, and chat), and a design-to-code workflow that includes tools like Lovable.
• Design Fluency: Expert-level knowledge of Figma — auto-layouts, design tokens, and maintaining UI consistency.
• React & TypeScript Mastery: Deep understanding of React 19 patterns (Server Components, Hooks, Suspense) and strictly typed architectures.
• Real-Time Expertise: Proven experience building dynamic dashboards (e.g., live tracking, financial tickers, or risk alerts).
• Modern State Strategy: Expert implementation of TanStack Query for caching and Redux/Zustand for complex global state.

Tech Stack

• Core: React (hooks-based), TypeScript, Fusion.js (Uber's framework)
• AI Tools: Cursor, Lovable, GitHub Copilot, Claude, v0.dev
• State: Redux + Sagas, TanStack Query, Zustand, Context API, Hooks
• Data: WebSockets, gRPC-web, GraphQL
• Design/UI: BaseUI design system, Styletron (CSS-in-JS), Figma, Tailwind CSS, Storybook
• Testing: Jest, React Testing Library, Playwright
