Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- As a Senior Frontend Engineer (f/m/d) at Birdrave, you're not just shipping features - you're shaping how we build.
- We expect you to take ownership of architecture decisions, push for improvements, and present your thinking to the team.
- Feedback flows in both directions, and technical debates are part of the daily rhythm.
- AI is a must, not a nice-to-have.
- Even in a frontend role, we expect you to use AI tools to pull context from backend repositories, understand systems end-to-end, and move faster than traditional frontend-backend boundaries would allow.
- Own the architecture and implementation of our frontend systems built on React, Next.js, and Tailwind CSS.
- Drive technical direction - propose improvements, present architectural decisions, and defend them in team discussions.
- Use AI tooling daily to gather context across codebases (including backend repos) and accelerate your work.
- Collaborate with designers to ship polished, responsive interfaces that feel right.
- Optimize for performance, scalability, and rendering efficiency at a level that matches production-grade products.
- Integrate frontend applications with backend APIs, taking the time to understand the backend rather than treating it as a black box.
- Lead code reviews with substance - give clear, actionable feedback and expect the same in return.
- Mentor less experienced developers and raise the technical bar of the team.
