Web Developer

We’re hiring a mid-level Web Developer to build and maintain reliable, user-focused web experiences across our product. You’ll work independently on well-defined features, collaborate with designers and engineers, and ensure performance, accessibility, and maintainable code as the product evolves.

Responsibilities

  • Implement new UI features and improvements based on product and design requirements
  • Maintain and refactor existing front-end code to improve performance and reliability
  • Integrate with back-end APIs to deliver end-to-end functionality
  • Debug production issues and partner with teammates to prevent recurring defects
  • Write and maintain automated tests for critical user flows
  • Ensure web accessibility, responsive behavior, and cross-browser compatibility
  • Participate in code reviews and contribute to engineering best practices

Must-have qualifications

  • Hands-on experience with modern JavaScript and TypeScript for production web apps
  • Proficiency building UI with React (or an equivalent component-based framework)
  • Experience styling responsive, accessible interfaces using CSS/Sass and accessibility best practices
  • Working knowledge of HTML semantics, browser behavior, and cross-browser compatibility
  • Ability to integrate front-end applications with RESTful APIs using fetch or similar clients
  • Experience writing maintainable front-end code with Git-based workflows and code review practices

Nice to have

  • Experience with Next.js or similar framework patterns (SSR/SSG, routing, performance)
  • Familiarity with state management (e.g., Redux Toolkit, Zustand) and client-side caching
  • Experience with unit/integration testing frameworks (e.g., Jest, React Testing Library, Cypress)
  • Basic understanding of web performance tooling (Lighthouse, Web Vitals) and tuning techniques

What success looks like in 12 months

  • Ship a sustained stream of product features
  • Improve quality and reduce production defects
  • Raise performance and reliability of core pages
  • Strengthen maintainability through testing
  • Increase accessibility compliance

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, accessible, high-performing web features independently, while improving code quality and user outcomes over the first year.

Outcomes to measure

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

  • Ship a sustained stream of product features. Measure: Deliver [N] user-facing web features or improvements end-to-end (design-ready implementation through release) with [X]% on-time completion for planned scope
  • Improve quality and reduce production defects. Measure: Reduce front-end production incidents or regressions by [X]% compared to the initial [baseline period]
  • Raise performance and reliability of core pages. Measure: Improve key performance metrics (e.g., LCP/CLS/TTFB) so [X]% of monitored page views meet the target thresholds defined by the team
  • Strengthen maintainability through testing. Measure: Increase automated test coverage for critical user flows to [X]% (or increase covered critical paths by [X]%), with tests added for every new feature in scope
  • Increase accessibility compliance. Measure: Reduce accessibility issues in monitored user flows by [X]% and resolve [N] high-priority findings identified by the team’s accessibility checks

Competencies and weights

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

TypeScript JavaScript · 22%
Core implementation quality and ability to deliver maintainable features in real product code depend on strong modern JS/TS fundamentals. Evaluated in Round 1.

  • Weak: Writes features with unclear types or frequent runtime checks to compensate for missing type safety.
  • Meets the bar: Uses TypeScript effectively for component and API integration, with clear types and manageable complexity.
  • Strong: Designs robust types and interfaces for UI state and API contracts, preventing common classes of bugs before runtime.

React UI Development · 18%
Component-based UI development is central to this role and directly affects usability and maintainability. Evaluated in Round 1.

  • Weak: Implements UI changes with inconsistent component structure or causes avoidable re-renders and UI glitches.
  • Meets the bar: Builds well-structured React components with predictable state and props flow.
  • Strong: Optimizes component rendering and architecture (composition, memoization where appropriate) while keeping code easy to reason about.

API Integration · 16%
Web features must reliably integrate with back-end services and handle failure modes gracefully. Evaluated in Round 2.

  • Weak: Integrates APIs with minimal error handling, leading to confusing UI states when requests fail.
  • Meets the bar: Implements API calls with correct request/response handling, loading/error UI, and sensible data flow.
  • Strong: Builds resilient integration patterns (timeouts/retries where appropriate, clear error states, and stable data mapping) that reduce regressions.

Debugging and Production Readiness · 16%
Mid-level developers must independently diagnose issues and improve outcomes without waiting for constant guidance. Evaluated in Round 3.

  • Weak: Relies on guesswork for debugging and struggles to explain root cause or remediation steps.
  • Meets the bar: Reproduces issues, uses logs/metrics/devtools to isolate root cause, and implements a fix with follow-up prevention steps.
  • Strong: Leads incident follow-ups with thorough analysis, high-quality fixes, and clear prevention plans that reduce recurrence.

Accessibility and CSS · 14%
Accessible, responsive interfaces are required for user experience and compliance. Evaluated in Round 2.

  • Weak: Creates layouts that work inconsistently across screen sizes or misses key accessibility requirements (semantics, focus behavior).
  • Meets the bar: Uses semantic HTML patterns and CSS to deliver responsive layouts with correct focus and readable UI.
  • Strong: Proactively ensures accessibility across interactions (keyboard navigation, ARIA only when needed) and resolves issues before release.

Code Quality Collaboration · 14%
Strong code review habits and collaboration affect maintainability and team execution speed. Evaluated in Round 3.

  • Weak: Submits changes that are hard to review due to unclear intent, inconsistent patterns, or missing tests/edge cases.
  • Meets the bar: Writes readable code, follows team conventions, and participates actively in code reviews and design discussions.
  • Strong: Improves team standards through thoughtful reviews, proactive refactors, and clear communication about tradeoffs.
Interview questions

Questions for every interview round

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

Round 1: Frontend Foundations
Engineering Recruiter + Tech Lead · 45 min

  1. Tell us about a production feature you built with React and TypeScript—what was the UI architecture and how did you structure state and types?
  2. Describe how you handle client-side API data in a React app (loading, success, empty states, and error handling). What patterns do you reuse?
  3. Walk through a time you improved component performance (e.g., reducing unnecessary renders). What did you measure and what changed?

Round 2: Web Quality and Integration
Senior Frontend Engineer · 45 min

  1. Share an example where you improved accessibility for a web UI. How did you validate keyboard and screen-reader behavior?
  2. Explain your approach to responsive design and cross-browser compatibility. What do you test and what issues do you proactively guard against?
  3. Describe a project where you integrated a front-end with a RESTful API. How did you handle errors, retries, and data mapping?

Round 3: Independence and Production Impact
Engineering Manager · 45 min

  1. Describe a production bug you independently debugged. How did you isolate the root cause and what was your mitigation to prevent recurrence?
  2. Tell us about a refactor you led or contributed to. What was the goal (e.g., maintainability, reliability), what risks did you manage, and what was the outcome?
  3. How do you approach code reviews—what do you look for, and what types of feedback do you commonly give or request?

Red flags to watch for

  • Relies on runtime fixes instead of using TypeScript for safer, maintainable integration
  • Inconsistent accessibility and weak keyboard/focus behavior described in past work
  • Trouble explaining root-cause analysis or prevention steps after a production issue
  • Submits changes with unclear intent, limited testing, or frequent regressions described as acceptable
