Junior Front End Developer (TypeScript)

Who we are

The product is a mobile app plus a React web dashboard, with a Python and PostgreSQL backend on AWS. On-call rotates weekly and pays a flat stipend whether or not the pager goes off.

The position

We're looking for a Junior Front End Developer (TypeScript) to join our team. This is a remote role. Part of this job is rebuilding an older AngularJS front end in React. Some of that work is unglamorous migration, and we won't pretend otherwise. The Web team owns the customer-facing web app. You'll turn Figma designs into fast, accessible screens and keep them that way. The company is based in Dubai, the UAE. The team is distributed across several countries. You will join as an independent contractor on a long-term agreement. Payment is monthly in USD. You will work Dubai business hours, Monday to Friday. You will need a stable internet connection and a backup power source (UPS or inverter).

Main duties

• Track down cross-browser bugs in Safari, Chrome, Firefox and mobile browsers
• Migrate legacy jQuery or AngularJS pages to the current stack
• Manage client state with Redux Toolkit, Zustand or TanStack Query
• Set up and tune build tooling (Vite, webpack, ESLint, Prettier)
• Review frontend pull requests and keep coding conventions consistent
• Work with designers to adjust interactions when something doesn't hold up in the browser
• Integrate with REST and GraphQL APIs and handle loading, error and empty states properly
• Build UI features in React and TypeScript from Figma designs

Skills and experience

• 1+ years building production web applications
• Strong JavaScript and TypeScript, including async code and the DOM
• Experience with a styling approach such as Tailwind, CSS Modules or styled-components
• Git and a pull request based workflow
• Deep working knowledge of React (hooks, context, rendering behaviour)
• Familiarity with accessibility standards and semantic markup

Why work with us

Salary range: $1,050 - $1,400 monthly

• Monthly internet allowance
• Company laptop
