Responsibilities

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

• The frontend of your product area end to end: shaping tasks with Product and Design, implementation, release and production monitoring

• Technical decisions for that frontend. You make them and justify them in writing, rather than only implementing someone else's

• The architecture of frontend applications and the shared UI library / SDK that other teams build on

• Measurable frontend quality: performance, reliability and security of user flows

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Design and build user flows: sign-in, account management, wallet onboarding and transaction signing

• Track how these flows behave in production (errors, performance, drop-offs) and act on what you see

• Make architectural decisions for frontend applications and document them

• Develop the shared component library and frontend SDKs used by other Xsolla teams

• Agree API contracts with backend engineers, including error handling, retries and edge cases

• Own performance budgets: Core Web Vitals and bundle size

• Improve the engineering environment: build, linters, tests, CI

• Review code

• Set up and maintain AI tooling in the repositories (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor: rules, context, harness) so the team uses it effectively

Nice to have

Language and platform

• 5+ years of commercial frontend development

• TypeScript in strict mode: generics, utility types, discriminated unions, typing module boundaries and external data

• JavaScript at the platform level: event loop, asynchrony, closures, memory. You can find a leak and explain its cause

Frameworks and state

• Deep experience with React: rendering model, profiling, eliminating unnecessary re-renders

• Separating local, server and global state, and justifying the choice of tool; reasoning about when SSR is worth it

UI quality and performance

• Semantic, responsive, cross-browser layout; modern CSS (CSS Modules, CSS-in-JS)

• Accessibility: ARIA, keyboard navigation, screen reader support

• Performance analysis: profiling, bundle analysis, Core Web Vitals

Integration and security

• REST API integration: error handling, retries, request cancellation, contract alignment with backend

• Web security fundamentals: XSS, CSRF, CSP, secure handling of tokens, sessions and user data

Engineering practices

• Testing at the right level: unit, integration, E2E

• Git, CI, Docker, linters and formatters

AI-assisted engineering

• Daily hands-on use of AI coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) for development and review, including configuring them for a repository

English

• Reading technical documentation in English

• Experience in security-sensitive domains: authentication and identity (OAuth2/OIDC flows on the frontend), payments, crypto wallets

• Web3 frontend: wallet integration (embedded and browser wallets), EIP-1193, EIP-6963, EIP-712; viem, wagmi, ethers.js

• Next.js or Nuxt, SSR in production

• Design systems and component API design, UI kits

• Hybrid applications: WebView, React Native
