About the Role
CapIntel is looking for a Senior Frontend Developer to help shape our platform’s architecture, scalability, and performance. You'll play a crucial role in defining best practices, and collaborating with designers and product managers to build seamless, high-performing, and accessible user experiences. Your expertise in frontend development, performance optimization, and modern frameworks will drive the growth and usability of our platform. While this is primarily a frontend role, familiarity with backend technologies is expected, and you may occasionally contribute to backend development within the MERN stack.
What You'll Do
- Own the frontend development lifecycle – from planning and design to implementation and deployment.
- Architect scalable and maintainable solutions using JavaScript/TypeScript, especially React
- Optimize performance and manage states efficiently, ensuring fast, responsive user interfaces.
- Integrate seamlessly with backend services, collaborating with backend engineers on performant, full-stack solutions.
- Conduct thoughtful code reviews and uphold high standards for code quality and maintainability.
- Collaborate with product and design teams to build user-centric features aligned with business goals.
- Stay current with emerging frontend technologies and continuously refine our development workflows.
- Contribute to consistent, inclusive UI across the platform, including championing accessibility (WCAG compliance).
What We're Looking For
- Front-end Expertise: Deep experience in JavaScript/TypeScript and modern frameworks, especially React.
- Architecture & Performance: Strong understanding of scalable front-end systems and performance best practices.
- MERN Stack Familiarity: Experience working in environments using MongoDB, Express, React, and Node.js.
- Testing & Quality: You write reliable, maintainable code and build with testing in mind from the start.
- Clear Communication: You express technical concepts clearly and collaborate effectively with both technical and non-technical teammates.
- Ownership and Flexibility: You take initiative, follow through on responsibilities, and adjust smoothly when priorities shift — always keeping the bigger picture in mind.
Bonus Experience
- Familiarity with T3 Tech Stack (Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS).
- Working knowledge of AWS services, CI/CD workflows and Git best practices.
- Experience with design systems and leading UI consistency initiatives.
- Expertise in diagnosing and preventing performance and optimization issues.
- A passion for continuously learning, improving workflows, and implementing modern frontend methodologies.
The Interview Process
- Multiple Choice Technical Assessment: A general assessment of your JavaScript and software development skills, designed to evaluate your foundational technical knowledge.
- 30-Minute Video Call with a Talent Acquisition Partner: A conversation to get to know you better, discuss your experience and motivations, and explore your technical knowledge and cultural fit for the role.
- 60-Minute Interview with a Member of Engineering Leadership: A deeper dive into your technical expertise, problem-solving abilities, and alignment with our team’s goals. This interview also focuses on your approach to collaboration and communication within a cross-functional environment.
- 75-Minute Live Coding Session: A hands-on coding session with a Team Lead or Engineering Leader. You’ll be tasked with solving a technical problem in real-time, where we’ll evaluate your coding skills, problem-solving abilities, and approach to optimizing code.
We know that what matters most is a great attitude, a hunger to learn, and a drive to deliver high-quality work. While experience is valuable, we also understand that careers don’t always follow a straight path. If you’re excited about this role but not sure you meet every requirement — we encourage you to apply!
