Context:

Join the founding frontend team of a new AI-powered product at Saleshandy. You'll shape the full UI stack from design system to performance-critical flows and define how users experience our product.

What's the Role About

You'll be the go-to frontend engineer on a zero-to-one journey. From SSR/SSG to animations and loading states, you'll build the UI foundation. You'll work closely with design, backend, and product to launch polished, responsive, and performant interfaces with no layers, blockers, or hand-holding. Just clean code and real ownership.

Why Join Us

Purpose: You'll shape every user interaction in a brand-new product from the first screen to the core dashboard experience.

Growth: You'll own UI architecture early, drive performance improvements, and influence design, UX, and product feedback loops.

Motivation: If you've ever said, "Let me own the UI end-to-end and ship fast without over-planning and compromise," this is it. You'll define how the product feels.

Your Main Goals

1. Build and Launch First UI Screens (within 30-45 days)

Translate core user flows into responsive, production-ready React components with loading states, error handling, and mobile support.

Outcome: 3-4 key screens live in production.

2. Establish a Scalable Component System (within 60 days)

Set up a documented, reusable design system using Tailwind, headless patterns, and accessible defaults.

Outcome: Adopted by 2+ team members, used across features.

3. Optimize UI for Performance and Core Web Vitals (within 90 days)

Apply Next.js performance features (e.g., lazy loading, SSR/SSG, image optimization) to reduce load times and improve interactivity.

Outcome: >90 Lighthouse, LCP <1s, CLS near zero.

4. Raise the Frontend Quality Bar (within 3-6 months)

Influence team practices via code reviews, UI standards, DX tools, and testing patterns.

Outcome: Team-wide adoption of best practices.

Important Tasks

1. Build fast, polished UIs using Next.js, React, and Tailwind

2. Use SSR, SSG, and client-side hydration patterns for speed and SEO

3. Integrate PostHog or similar tools for event tracking and feedback

4. Optimize asset loading, code splitting, and interaction latency

5. Ensure accessibility, responsiveness, and design system consistency

6. Work directly with product and backend to unblock ambiguity fast

7. Create internal documentation, stories, and reusable components

Culture Fit - Are You One of Us

1. You ship weekly and track what you ship

2. You don't wait for perfect specs you shape product through UI

3. You use logs, DevTools, and Core Web Vitals to fix, not guess

4. You turn design into UX fast, accessible, intuitive

5. You write maintainable code and share patterns that scale
