Frontend Developer (React + Next.js)

About the Role

We’re looking for a Frontend Developer to own the user experience at STACKONN. You’ll build fast, accessible, and polished interfaces in React/Next.js, working closely with product and design. Work style: Hybrid (3 days in-office in Lahore / 2 days remote).

Key Responsibilities

• Build reusable UI components and feature flows in React/Next.js
• Translate Figma designs into pixel‑clean, responsive interfaces
• Improve performance (Core Web Vitals), loading states, and perceived speed
• Implement robust state management and clean data fetching patterns
• Ship accessible UI (keyboard navigation, ARIA, contrast, semantics)
• Write frontend tests where it matters (component + basic e2e for key flows)
• Collaborate with backend engineers to define clean API contracts
• Track and fix UI bugs quickly, and prevent repeat issues with better patterns
• Maintain a consistent design system and keep the UI scalable
• Review code and keep frontend standards high (linting, formatting, conventions)

Requirements

• 4–5+ years building production React apps
• Strong TypeScript and component design skills
• Solid knowledge of Next.js (routing, SSR/SSG, caching/revalidation, images)
• Strong CSS skills (Tailwind or modern CSS; you can build without fighting the browser)
• Experience consuming REST APIs and handling edge cases (errors, retries, partial states)
• Good understanding of performance and accessibility basics
• Familiarity with Git + PR workflow
• Ability to work with designers and product without confusion or ego
• Based in Lahore (or able to work from Lahore) and comfortable with hybrid work
• Portfolio or shipped products that prove you can deliver real UI, not demo screens

Nice to Have

• Tailwind + component library experience
• Storybook/design system experience
• Testing experience (Playwright/Cypress) for key user flows
• Experience with animations/micro-interactions (subtle, not flashy)
• SEO basics and metadata/OpenGraph handling in Next.js

Benefits & Perks

• Market‑competitive salary + performance-based growth
• Hybrid schedule (Lahore) and a team that respects focused work
• Paid leaves and paid holidays
• Medical coverage
• Learning budget (courses/books)
• A product-first culture — you’ll ship work that users actually see
