Senior JavaScript Frontend Engineer (Custom Framework + jQuery)
Remote | High Autonomy | Long-Term Product Focus

The Role

We’re hiring a Senior JavaScript Frontend Engineer who can take ownership of complex features in a large, real-world production app. You’ll work directly with our in-house framework built on top of jQuery, contribute to performance improvements, and help prepare the ground for future modernization (e.g., gradual React migration).

What You’ll Do

• Build, maintain and refactor UI components in our custom jQuery-based framework

• Work with product and backend teams to deliver user-facing features from idea to deployment

• Navigate and improve a large, business-critical legacy codebase

• Apply deep JavaScript knowledge to keep code performant, readable and stable

• Help shape the future of the frontend stack - we aim to evolve carefully, not rebuild blindly

What We’re Looking For

• Expert-level JavaScript knowledge (ES5/ES6+), DOM manipulation, browser quirks

• Strong experience with jQuery beyond just plugins - ideally in custom frameworks

• Confidence working independently - you solve problems and make decisions without hand-holding

• Solid understanding of performance, debugging and maintainable architecture

• Experience delivering real-world features in a production application

Nice to Have

• Experience with React (even better if you’ve migrated from legacy stacks)

• Familiarity with build tools like Vite, Webpack, or custom pipelines

• Good instincts for UX and clean UI logic

Not What We’re Looking For

• WordPress/theme developers

• jQuery plugin assemblers without deep JS understanding
  (We need an engineer, not a page builder.)

Perks & Benefits

• 💻 100% Remote - work from anywhere

• ⏰ Flexible schedule - results matter, not hours

• 🧠 High autonomy - you’ll own your work and make meaningful decisions

• 🚀 Long-term product focus - no short-term freelance churn
