Overview

Client is looking for a Senior Front-End Developer (React) to lead a customer portal reskinning initiative.

This person will be responsible for translating finalized Figma designs into high-quality, production-ready UI within an existing application. They need someone who can operate almost at an architect level on the front end and work very independently.

This is a great opportunity for someone who thrives in design-to-code execution and can own delivery without heavy oversight.

• Take finalized Figma designs and build them into the existing application
• Own front-end delivery with minimal direction
• Ensure UI consistency and scalability across the portal
• Help define approach and bring solutions back to senior team members
• Move quickly and execute cleanly

Key Responsibilities

• Translate Figma designs into responsive, pixel-perfect UI components
• Lead front-end development across a full portal reskin initiative
• Build and maintain reusable components using React and modern UI libraries
• Ensure technical feasibility and performance of UI/UX designs
• Collaborate with UX, backend, and product teams
• Apply best practices around responsiveness, accessibility, and cross-browser compatibility
• Participate in code reviews and help set front-end standards

Candidate Profile

• Senior-level React developer (10+ years front-end experience ideally)
• Able to work independently with very little direction
• Strong in translating design into production-ready code
• Comfortable making decisions and proposing approach
• Strong communication skills with senior-level stakeholders
• Experience owning front-end architecture or major UI initiatives

Must Have Experience

• Strong hands-on React experience (enterprise or customer-facing apps)
• Deep knowledge of HTML5, CSS3, modern styling practices
• Experience with UI libraries (Material UI, Clay UI, or similar)
• Experience working directly from Figma (or equivalent)
• Experience building reusable components and design systems

Nice to Have
