Frontend Developer (React)

About the Position

Frontend Developer (React)

Unico Connect is seeking a Frontend Developer (React) to build production user interfaces for client web products. The role spans component implementation, accessibility, performance, and the partnership with designers and backend engineers that ensures pixel-perfect production output. The position is well suited to early-career frontend engineers with strong React and TypeScript fundamentals and a good visual eye.

Responsibilities

• Build production React and Next.js apps with TypeScript
• Translate Figma designs into pixel-perfect, responsive, accessible components
• Implement state management with TanStack Query, Zustand, or Redux Toolkit
• Write unit tests (Vitest or Testing Library) and end-to-end tests (Playwright)
• Optimise Core Web Vitals, bundle size, and SEO
• Collaborate closely with designers and backend engineers during feature development
• Pair with senior frontend engineers on architecture decisions and code reviews
• Participate in incident response for owned frontends
• Maintain technical documentation for owned components and patterns
• Contribute to shared design system components and internal libraries

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience
• 1-3 years of React with TypeScript in production
• Working knowledge of Next.js (App Router or Pages Router)
• Comfort with CSS, Tailwind, and CSS-in-JS
• Familiarity with Git, GitHub Actions, and CI/CD
• Good visual eye; capacity to match designer specs precisely
• Solid understanding of accessibility basics and responsive design
• Working knowledge of state management patterns
• Excellent written communication for pull requests and design conversations
• Capacity to read backend code well enough to scope frontend-backend integrations

Nice to Have

• Server components and streaming experience
• Storybook and component-driven development
• Motion (Framer Motion, GSAP)
• Hands-on with design tokens and Figma dev mode
• Open-source contributions

AI Tools Proficiency

Production engineering at Unico Connect assumes AI tools form part of the daily workflow rather than an experimental augmentation. For this role specifically:

• Cursor or Claude Code as a daily coding driver
• v0 or Bolt for component scaffolding
• GitHub Copilot for inline code suggestions
• Figma Dev Mode with AI assistance for handoff

We Offer

• Hybrid working model - 1 day work-from-home per week
• MacBook Pro and external monitor for work
• Paid subscriptions to Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor
• Team events, offsites, and outings
• Referral bonus when you bring in a successful hire

About the Company

Every Unico role expects the same underlying traits - regardless of department or seniority. If these resonate, apply.

• AI-augmented by default: Fluent with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Figma AI, or whatever is relevant to your craft. We expect AI tools in the loop, not as a novelty.
• Comfortable with startup pace: Fast cycles, real ownership, low ceremony. You will not be a cog.
• Driven by value creation: Output and outcomes matter more than process. You ship work that moves a metric.
• Ownership mindset: You treat the codebase, the deliverable, and the client relationship as your own.
• Builder energy: You joined because you want to ship amazing tech products, not warm a seat.
