Employment Type: Full-time

About the Role
We are looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer (SDE-3) to lead the design and delivery of world-class user experiences across Pepper's product suite. This is not a purely execution role — you will shape frontend architecture, establish engineering standards, and bring an AI-native lens to how interfaces get built. You will own the frontend end to end, mentor engineers, and partner closely with product and design to ship experiences that are quick, accessible, and intelligent.
Key Responsibilities
Architect and lead the development of scalable, performant frontend systems using React and Next.js
Define frontend engineering standards, patterns, and best practices across the team
Build and ship AI-powered UI features — conversational interfaces, agent-driven workflows, real-time streaming interactions — as first-class product experiences
Partner with product and design to translate complex requirements into clean, intuitive interfaces
Own performance, accessibility, and reliability across the frontend stack
Lead code reviews, technical design discussions, and frontend architecture decisions
Mentor SDE-1 and SDE-2 engineers, raising the bar on frontend craft and AI-native thinking
Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks, rendering issues, and UX gaps proactively.
Must-Have Skills
Expert-level React.js and Next.js, deep understanding of rendering models, SSR, ISR, and app architecture
TypeScript — strong typing, maintainable abstractions, scalable codebases
Strong CSS fundamentals, responsive design, design systems, component libraries
State management patterns at scale (Zustand, Redux, React Query, or equivalent)
REST API integration and experience working with async data flows
Deep understanding of frontend performance, Core Web Vitals, lazy loading, bundle optimisation
Experience with testing frameworks, Jest, Playwright, Cypress
