Front-End Engineer

This Front-End Engineer role is perfect for a Senior React developer with strong TypeScript and Next.js skills, experienced in converting Figma designs into high-performance, responsive React components. The candidate should have solid CSS expertise (Sass, Less, Tailwind) and preferably experience in eCommerce, headless CMS, accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1 AA), and SEO best practices. They must be self-motivated, organized, and passionate about building polished, user-friendly digital experiences.

1. How do you convert Figma designs into React components while ensuring pixel-perfect accuracy?
   I closely analyze the Figma designs, breaking them down into reusable React components, use CSS modules or styled-components for precise styling, and verify layouts across screen sizes to ensure pixel-perfect implementation.

2. What are the key benefits of using TypeScript in a React project?
   TypeScript adds static typing, reducing runtime errors, improving developer productivity with better autocomplete and refactoring, and enhancing code maintainability and scalability.

3. How do you optimize React applications for high performance and responsiveness?
   I use techniques like memoization (React.memo, useMemo), lazy loading components, code splitting, avoiding unnecessary re-renders, and efficient state management to maintain smooth performance.

4. What is your experience with Next.js and how does it improve React apps?
   Next.js enables server-side rendering, static site generation, and API routes, which improve SEO, faster initial load times, and provide a streamlined developer experience with built-in routing and performance optimizations.

5. How do you ensure web accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA compliance) in your frontend work?
   I follow semantic HTML best practices, use ARIA attributes where needed, ensure keyboard navigability, provide sufficient color contrast, and test with screen readers and accessibility tools.

6. What role does CSS play in your React projects and how do you manage styles?
   CSS is crucial for layout and design; I use preprocessors like Sass or utility frameworks like Tailwind CSS for maintainable and scalable styles, often scoped to components to avoid conflicts.

7. Have you worked with Headless CMS platforms? How do you integrate them in React apps?
   Yes, I fetch content via CMS APIs (GraphQL or REST) and dynamically render it in React components, ensuring content flexibility without frequent deployments.

8. What SEO best practices do you implement in React and Next.js applications?
   I use server-side rendering with Next.js, add meaningful meta tags, implement semantic HTML, optimize page load times, and create accessible, crawlable markup.

9. How do you approach testing React components?
   I use unit and integration tests with Jest and React Testing Library, focusing on component behavior, user interactions, and snapshot testing to prevent regressions.

10. Describe a challenging frontend problem you solved in a high-velocity team.
    I once optimized a complex checkout flow by refactoring state management to reduce re-renders, which improved performance and UX under tight deadlines by collaborating closely with designers and backend engineers.
