The team operates with agility and speed. You will be expected to make decisions even when faced with uncertainty, and you will have the freedom to do so. In fact, you will operate with the autonomy typically found in early-stage product development, rather than in a larger organization.

• Engage in code reviews and pair programming sessions to uphold code excellence, uniformity, and adherence to best practices
• Identify and resolve performance constraints, optimizing applications for peak speed, scalability, and user convenience
• Staying up-to-date with industry trends, continuously seeking opportunities to enhance the user experience

What you should bring:

• Minimum 8 years of extensive software engineering experience, specializing in front-end development
• Demonstrated track record in product-focused software development
• Proficiency in modern front-end technologies, including but not limited to:
• React, TailwindCSS, MUI, Vite, Vitest/Jest, Playwright, Storybook
• Strong problem-solving abilities with a keen eye for user interactions and system architecture
• Ability to bridge Figma prototypes and code seamlessly, showcasing a keen sense of UI/UX considerations
• Solid understanding of responsive design principles and mobile-first development.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, to foster effective collaboration with team members and stakeholders
• A passion for creating user-centric designs and a drive to stay up to date with the latest trends in UI/UX
• Capability to work autonomously and confidently, even amidst dynamic circumstances.
• Demonstrated ability to identify misaligned UI components, irregular spacing, color inconsistencies, and UI component malfunctions
• Proficiency in Agile methodologies, with a history of collaboration within cross-functional teams
• Preference for candidates with prior experience in startup environments and remote international settings

Even if you do not meet all the requirements above, we still encourage you to apply for this position. While we try to be thorough with our prerequisites, not everything about you as a candidate can be condensed into a list of bullet points. What do you have to lose?

The benefits we offer in Mexico include

• FULL TIME EMPLOYMENT
• Competitive health insurance plans
