Role Overview:
We are looking for an Intermediate / Senior Frontend Developer to join a team responsible for building the platform powering all user-facing experiences. This role offers a unique opportunity to collaborate with both local and international teams, focusing on user-centric software that elevates the digital experience for Xsolla’s global audience. In this role you will have the opportunity to contribute in building high-performance frontend solutions used by game developers worldwide. This position requires strong frontend and platform-level experience, the ability to work on complex technical initiatives, and the capability to support predictable, reliable delivery.
Responsibilities:
- Build and evolve scalable, high-performance web applications using React and Node.js
- Collaborate with product managers, designers, and backend engineers to translate complex requirements into intuitive user experiences.
- Participate in code reviews, share best practices, and help maintain high engineering standards within the frontend team. Work closely with DevOps to streamline CI/CD pipelines, improve deployment reliability, and enhance observability through metrics and monitoring tools.
- Own features end-to-end — requirement refinement, implementation, testing, and delivery. Optimize frontend performance, focusing on loading times, rendering speed, and bundle efficiency.
- Ensure cross-browser and multi-device compatibility while meeting accessibility (a11y) and usability standards.
- Contribute to modernization, refactoring, and performance enhancements to keep the platform scalable, maintainable, and aligned with product goals.
- Contribute and enforce engineering best practices across coding, documentation, testing, and review processes.
- Ensure strong automated test coverage and reliable CI/CD workflows that reduce manual effort and improve delivery predictability.
- Own operational excellence, including incident response, root-cause analysis, and long-term reliability improvements.
- Advocate for scalability, performance, security, and observability across the platform’s architecture and tooling.
- Identify technical risks, estimate complexity, and communicate trade-offs to leadership and stakeholders.
Requirements:
- 4+ years of software development experience with strong expertise in modern frontend engineering at scale.
- Deep hands-on knowledge of React including component architecture, SSR patterns, RSC, and complex UI data flows. Proficiency with Node.js and MongoDB for server-side functionality.
- Strong understanding of modern styling systems and theming approaches (vanilla-extract, styled-components, design tokens).
- Solid TypeScript practices, including strict typing, shared contracts, and schema validation (Zod or equivalent).
- Experience with Module Federation.
- Good understanding of bundling and compilation, experience with webpack/rollup/vite/esbuild
- Experience with automated testing frameworks (Vitest/Jest) and end-to-end testing (Playwright/Cypress).
- Good understanding of backend integration patterns (REST, GraphQL, RPC-style APIs).
- Experience with CI/CD workflows (GitLab CI or similar), private registries, and secure artifact handling.
Nice to Have:
- Experience building platforms or tooling used across multiple frontend teams (design systems, template engines, configuration frameworks).
- Experience with react-native/mobile experience.
- Knowledge of performance optimization strategies for client-side and server-side rendering.
- Understanding of accessibility, internationalization, and semantic UI design best practices.
- Experience developing SDKs, CLI tools, or developer-facing automation.
- Familiarity with event-driven UI flows, real-time interfaces, or edge-rendering strategies.
- Background improving developer platforms, observability stacks, or performance monitoring systems.
- Comfort with UI-as-data approaches and leveraging AI-assisted/no-code tooling to accelerate feature delivery.
Education:
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
