The Role

We are seeking a rare combination of a solid coding background and a keen design sense to join the core team responsible for the Verve Retail Media Platform (RMP). As a Frontend Engineer, you will own the end-to-end implementation of our user-facing applications. You will bridge the gap between complex ad-tech requirements and human-centric design, ensuring our platform is not only powerful but also intuitive and lightning-fast.

Our Tech Stack

Our frontend architecture is optimized for speed, accessibility, and AI compatibility:

• Core: Next.js (React) using the App Router for efficient server/client logic separation.

• Styling: Tailwind CSS + shadcn/ui (The gold standard for accessible, promptable UI).

• State & Data: TanStack Query (React Query) for robust data fetching and caching.

• Validation: Zod + React Hook Form for type-safe, standard patterns.

• Infrastructure: GCP, Kubernetes, Docker, and GitHub Actions for CI/CD.

You will be responsible for

• Feature Development: Building scalable, well-designed software services for campaign management, targeting options, and data visualizations.

• UI/UX Implementation: Translating high-fidelity Figma concepts into pixel-perfect, interactive prototypes and production-ready code.

• Collaboration: Working side-by-side with UX designers, product managers, and backend engineers in a highly collaborative environment.

• Design System Leadership: Contributing to and maintaining our internal design system, ensuring consistency across a complex international ecosystem.

• Performance & Quality: Owning the maintainability, performance, and security of frontend deliverables, ensuring a seamless experience across devices (from desktop to smart-cart screens).

We are looking for a person who has

• Technical Expertise: 3-5+ years of professional experience in frontend development, with deep proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML, and CSS.

• Framework Mastery: Strong experience with React and Next.js. Familiarity with Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui is highly preferred.

• Design Sensibility: A strong eye for detail and a passion for creating world-class user experiences. You should be comfortable discussing UX logic as much as code logic.

• Problem-Solving: Ability to deconstruct complex business requirements into simple, intuitive user flows.

• AI Proficiency: Experience with or a strong desire to use GenAI tools (Cursor, LLMs) to optimize development speed and code quality.

• Modern Practices: Experience with agile methodologies, continuous integration, and automated testing 

• Communication: Ability to articulate technical trade-offs and advocate for the user while balancing business goals.
