Frontend Engineer Requirements

You'll probably do well here if:

  • You've spent 6+ years shipping React applications that real people use, and you can write TypeScript without fighting it.
  • You have production experience with Next.js or Vite. Experience with both is an advantage.
  • You know your way around Redux, REST APIs, Git and code reviews.
  • You care about what happens after the code ships, not just whether a pull request gets approved.
  • You can explain a technical decision to a product manager without making them feel small, and you ask questions when a ticket leaves important details undefined.
  • You've experienced a slow page or an incorrect amount on a real phone and treated fixing it as your responsibility.
  • You use AI tools such as Cursor, Copilot, Claude or ChatGPT to work more efficiently, while still reviewing their output carefully.
  • You protect customer information: you do not paste personally identifiable information (PII) or secrets into AI models.

💡 CV tip: Make your React, TypeScript and production experience easy to find. Where possible, include measurable results, such as reduced loading time, improved reliability or a smoother user journey. Only use figures you can honestly support.

03 · Beyond the code

The Engineering Mindset That Matters

Strong frontend engineering is not just about knowing a framework. It is about making thoughtful decisions, noticing edge cases, and caring about the experience people have when they use what you build.

Think about the person using the product

A page may look perfect on a developer's laptop and still be frustrating on a slower phone or unreliable connection. Consider loading states, error messages, accessibility, small screens and what happens when a request fails.

Communicate your reasoning

Good engineers can explain why they chose one approach over another. They ask useful questions, discuss trade-offs respectfully and work with product managers and teammates to solve the actual problem.

Use AI without switching off your judgement

AI coding assistants can accelerate routine work, but generated code still needs careful review, testing and security checks. Protect private information and never assume a plausible-looking answer is automatically correct.

💡 Interview tip: Prepare one real example of a difficult bug, performance issue or technical decision you handled. Explain the problem, the trade-offs you considered, what you changed and the outcome. Clear thinking is more convincing than buzzwords.

How to Prepare a Strong Application

A thoughtful application makes it easier for a recruiter to understand your experience. Before applying, take a few minutes to check that your CV and supporting information clearly reflect the work you've done.

Use this quick application checklist

  • Your CV clearly shows your React and TypeScript experience.
  • Your recent work demonstrates production experience with Next.js, Vite or the relevant tools you have used.
  • You include meaningful projects and explain your contribution rather than listing technologies alone.
  • Your contact details and professional links are current.
  • You have checked your CV for spelling, inconsistent dates and confusing descriptions.
  • You can discuss the projects and technical decisions mentioned in your CV.

Make your experience easy to understand

Instead of simply writing that you worked with React, explain what you built, what problem it solved and what you were responsible for. Keep every claim accurate and be prepared to talk through your work.

💡 A little motivation: You do not need a perfect career history to present yourself professionally. Focus on making your real skills, strongest projects and relevant experience easy to understand. One well-tailored application is better than a rushed application full of generic claims.
