We're looking for a highly skilled and experienced Senior Frontend Engineer to join our team as an onsite contractor. This role requires deep expertise in Angular (v16+) and a strong understanding of modern web technologies, AI-driven interfaces, and cloud-native architectures.

The ideal candidate will not only contribute to scalable and maintainable frontend systems but also help us integrate AI and automation capabilities into our applications using Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and emerging AI tools. You'll collaborate closely with engineering leadership and cross-functional teams to build intelligent, high-performing, and user-centric experiences.

This is not a routine development position — it's a strategic and innovative engineering role for someone with a research-oriented mindset, strong architectural instincts, and a curiosity for AI-driven innovation.

Responsibilities:

Design and build scalable, maintainable frontend systems using Angular (v16+).

Develop and maintain internal UI frameworks, component libraries, and reusable modules.

Integrate AI tools, LLM-based assistants, and automation agents into frontend workflows and user experiences.

Work with GCP services such as Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, Firebase, BigQuery, and Vertex AI to build, deploy, and optimize web applications.

Conduct proof-of-concepts and research for emerging technologies in AI, LLMs, and generative interfaces.

Collaborate with product, design, and backend teams to deliver cloud-ready, intelligent UI solutions.

Ensure performance, accessibility, responsiveness, and security in every deliverable.

Contribute to frontend architecture discussions, best practices, and developer mentoring.

Stay up to date with AI advancements, frontend evolution, and Google Cloud innovations.

Requirements:

Minimum 7 years of experience in frontend or web development.

Expert-level skills in Angular (v16+), TypeScript, and RxJS.

Strong understanding of HTML5, CSS3, and component-based UI design.

Experience with Angular CLI, NgRx, and modular architecture.

Proficiency with JavaScript (ES6+), Git, and REST APIs.

Experience with GCP tools and services (Cloud Run, Firebase Hosting, Cloud Storage, IAM, etc.).

Familiarity with AI APIs, LLM frameworks, or AI agent orchestration tools (e.g., LangChain, Vertex AI, OpenAI API).

Bonus: Experience creating AI-assisted UX features such as chatbots, intelligent recommendations, or conversational UIs.

Familiarity with React is a plus, especially in hybrid or multi-framework environments.

Skills: Nice-to-Have Experience:

Building and maintaining internal frameworks or design systems.

Working with monorepo structures, micro-frontend architectures, and serverless deployments on GCP.

Implementing AI-enhanced analytics dashboards or intelligent user interactions.

Applying WCAG accessibility standards and responsive design practices.

Experience with test automation (Jasmine, Karma, Jest, Mocha, Protractor).

Exposure to DevOps pipelines, CI/CD, Docker, and Kubernetes.

Experience integrating WebAssembly, TailwindCSS, or Web Components.

Familiarity with generative AI development tools (Gemini, Vertex AI Studio, LangChain, or AutoGPT).

Design and Theming Experience:

Advanced CSS and SASS/SCSS skills.

Strong experience creating custom themes and UI styling systems.

Familiarity with design tools such as Figma, Sketch, or Adobe XD.

Solid sense of UI/UX aesthetics, with attention to detail and consistency across components.

Soft Skills:

Excellent communication and ability to articulate complex technical ideas clearly.

Strong problem-solving mindset with ownership and accountability.

Comfortable in fast-paced, collaborative, research-driven environments.

Curious about AI, cloud computing, and frontend evolution.

Proven ability to lead discussions, mentor developers, and contribute to technical strategy.

Keywords:

Education: Education:

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.

Certifications in GCP, AI/ML, or Angular are a strong plus.

Open-source contributions or AI-related project work are highly desirable.
