React Developer

We are hiring a mid-level React Developer to build and maintain modern, responsive user interfaces and the supporting front-end architecture. You’ll work independently on well-defined features, improve performance and reliability, and partner with backend and design stakeholders to deliver polished product experiences.

Responsibilities

  • Develop new React features and reusable UI components using modern best practices
  • Maintain and refactor existing front-end code for performance, readability, and scalability
  • Collaborate with design and product to translate UI requirements into accessible, consistent experiences
  • Integrate front-end applications with backend services through well-defined APIs
  • Implement client-side state management and data fetching patterns that avoid bugs and regressions
  • Ensure UI quality through effective debugging, testing practices, and reliable release workflows
  • Monitor application behavior in production and address performance or usability issues proactively

Must-have qualifications

  • Hands-on experience building production React applications
  • Strong JavaScript fundamentals, including async patterns and performance considerations
  • Experience implementing component architecture patterns (e.g., reusable components, props/state design)
  • Experience integrating with REST/GraphQL APIs in a React front end
  • Practical knowledge of front-end testing approaches (e.g., unit/integration)
  • Experience with accessibility best practices in React UIs

Nice to have

  • Experience with TypeScript in React projects
  • Familiarity with performance tooling (e.g., browser devtools, profiling) and optimization techniques
  • Experience using modern state management/data libraries (e.g., Redux, React Query, Zustand)

What success looks like in 12 months

  • Ship React feature work independently
  • Improve performance and responsiveness
  • Increase front-end code quality and test coverage
  • Stabilize API integration and user flows
  • Maintain accessible, consistent UI components

Logistics

  • Full-time (40 hours a week), remote from Latin America.
  • Working hours overlap with US business hours.

Interview scorecard

Score every candidate against the same bar

Deliver reliable, high-quality front-end features in React that improve user experience, performance, and maintainability.

Outcomes to measure

What this hire should deliver in the first year. Replace [N] with your own targets.

  • Ship React feature work independently. Measure: Deliver [N] product features in React with no critical front-end regressions during [time window]
  • Improve performance and responsiveness. Measure: Reduce key UI performance issues/incidents by [X]% as measured by [metric/source]
  • Increase front-end code quality and test coverage. Measure: Add/strengthen automated tests to raise coverage for changed modules by [X] points or achieve [X]% pass rate in CI for front-end test suites
  • Stabilize API integration and user flows. Measure: Reduce front-end API-related errors/incidents by [X]% (e.g., failed requests, error-rate spikes) tracked in [tool/metric]
  • Maintain accessible, consistent UI components. Measure: Achieve [X]% improvement in accessibility audit findings (e.g., automated checks in [tool]) or reduce accessibility defects by [X]%

Competencies and weights

What to evaluate, how much it counts and what a strong answer looks like.

React feature delivery · 27%
Core role requirement: independently build React features that integrate correctly and hold up in production. Evaluated in Round 1.

  • Weak: Can build basic components but needs frequent guidance for feature completion and integration.
  • Meets the bar: Implements well-scoped features end-to-end, with correct integration and predictable behavior.
  • Strong: Delivers complex features independently with clean component design, good separation of concerns, and minimal production issues.

JavaScript fundamentals · 19%
Strong JS is necessary to handle async flows, state updates, and performance-sensitive UI behavior. Evaluated in Round 1.

  • Weak: Struggles with async patterns or makes state-management mistakes that cause bugs.
  • Meets the bar: Uses async/await and state updates correctly; avoids common pitfalls.
  • Strong: Chooses and justifies efficient patterns for concurrency, data handling, and UI responsiveness.

Component architecture · 17%
Reusable component architecture directly impacts maintainability and speed of ongoing delivery. Evaluated in Round 2.

  • Weak: Creates tightly coupled components or inconsistent props/state patterns.
  • Meets the bar: Designs reusable components with clear props contracts and sensible state boundaries.
  • Strong: Creates composable UI primitives, predictable state management, and clear interfaces that scale across the app.

API integration · 17%
Front-end must reliably integrate with backend APIs and handle errors/loading states properly. Evaluated in Round 2.

  • Weak: Relies on fragile assumptions about API responses and has limited error handling.
  • Meets the bar: Implements robust request/response handling, loading/error states, and retries or fallbacks when appropriate.
  • Strong: Implements resilient integration patterns (typed/validated data when possible, consistent error handling) and prevents regressions across user flows.

Testing and quality · 12%
Testing discipline helps ensure changes don’t break existing functionality and reduces production regressions. Evaluated in Round 3.

  • Weak: Provides little automated coverage or can’t explain testing strategy tradeoffs.
  • Meets the bar: Writes practical unit/integration tests aligned to risk and key user flows.
  • Strong: Builds a coherent test pyramid approach, uses mocks/stubs appropriately, and integrates tests into reliable CI behavior.

Accessibility in UI · 8%
Accessible UI is required to deliver inclusive product experiences and reduce usability defects. Evaluated in Round 3.

  • Weak: Misses semantic HTML, keyboard navigation, or accessible naming expectations.
  • Meets the bar: Implements accessible components using semantic elements, focus management, and ARIA when needed.
  • Strong: Proactively audits and improves accessibility, catches issues early, and validates improvements with tools or reviews.
Interview questions

Questions for every interview round

Each round has an owner, a time box and questions that test the competencies above.

Round 1: React & JavaScript Fundamentals
Frontend Engineering Lead · 60 min

  1. Describe a production React feature you shipped. How did you structure components, manage state, and handle loading/error states?
  2. Walk through how you handled async data fetching and state updates in React (e.g., async/await, promises). What pitfalls did you avoid?
  3. How do you prevent unnecessary re-renders and performance issues in React? Give a specific example from your work.

Round 2: Architecture & API Integration
Senior Frontend Engineer · 60 min

  1. Explain the component architecture you use for a complex UI (e.g., where you keep state, how you design props interfaces).
  2. How have you integrated REST/GraphQL APIs into a React front end? What patterns did you use for caching, retries, and error handling?
  3. Describe a time an API response shape changed or errors increased. How did you update the UI to keep user flows working?

Round 3: Quality, Testing & Accessibility
Engineering Manager · 60 min

  1. What testing approach have you used for React applications (unit/integration/e2e)? Which parts did you test and why?
  2. Give an example of a bug you caught through testing or debugging. How did you diagnose root cause and prevent recurrence?
  3. How do you ensure React UI components are accessible (semantic HTML, keyboard navigation, focus, ARIA)? Share a concrete change you made to improve accessibility.

Red flags to watch for

  • Frequent reliance on manual testing with no clear testing strategy or ability to explain test coverage rationale
  • Inability to explain async behavior and state update flow in React (leading to bugs or race conditions)
  • Poor understanding of component boundaries and props/state design, resulting in tightly coupled or hard-to-maintain code
  • Weak handling of API errors/loading states (e.g., broken UX during network failures)
