About The Role
We're a fast-growing startup looking for a talented Senior Front-End Developer to own the entire frontend experience of our product.
This is a unique opportunity to be the driving force behind our user interface, working directly with our backend developer to bring our vision to life.
You'll have complete autonomy over frontend decisions, architecture, and implementation—making this an ideal role for someone who loves wearing multiple hats and thrives in a dynamic, entrepreneurial environment.
You'll be instrumental in shaping how our users interact with our product from day one.
What You'Ll Do
As our sole frontend developer, you'll be responsible for the full spectrum of frontend development.
You'll transform detailed Figma designs into pixel-perfect, responsive, and delightful user interfaces that users will love.
You'll architect our frontend codebase from the ground up, making critical decisions about structure, tooling, and best practices that will set the foundation for our product's growth.
Working closely with our backend developer, you'll collaborate on API design and integration to ensure seamless data flow and optimal performance.
Beyond coding, you'll own the entire frontend experience—from performance optimization and cross-browser compatibility to accessibility and user experience refinement.
You'll have the freedom to experiment, iterate quickly, and make decisions that directly impact our product's success.
This role is perfect for someone who enjoys autonomy, values impact, and wants to see their work directly influence the company's trajectory.
Technical Skills
Your technical toolkit should include strong expertise in modern frontend frameworks and styling solutions.
What We Need
- Core Frameworks
- Extensive experience with Vue.js and Nuxt.js is highly preferred, with particular appreciation for Nuxt UI.
- However, if you're an exceptional developer with strong expertise in React and Next.js, we'd love to hear from you too.
- Styling
- Highly skilled in UI design implementation and formatting using Tailwind CSS.
- You should be able to turn design concepts into beautiful, responsive interfaces effortlessly.
- Design Handoff
- Proven ability to convert Figma designs into pixel-perfect, responsive frontend code.
- Attention to detail and design fidelity is crucial.
- Backend Integration
- Solid experience working with and integrating Laravel backend APIs.
- You'll be collaborating closely with our backend developer, so smooth communication and integration skills are essential.
- Fundamentals
- Strong understanding of HTML5, CSS3, modern JavaScript (ES6+), and TypeScript.
Version Control
Comfortable with Git and collaborative workflows (e.g., GitFlow, pull requests).
Experience & Mindset
We're looking for someone with a minimum of 5 years of professional experience in frontend development.
A strong portfolio showcasing complex, well-architected web applications and pixel-perfect UI implementations is essential.
Beyond technical skills, we value problem-solving abilities, meticulous attention to detail, and excellent communication skills.
Most importantly, we're looking for someone who is adaptable, self-motivated, and excited about the startup journey.
You should thrive in a fast-paced environment where priorities can shift, and you're comfortable taking ownership of your work.
Why Join Us
This is a rare opportunity to be a key player in a startup from the early stages.
You'll have direct influence over product decisions, work with cutting-edge technologies, and see the immediate impact of your work.
You'll be part of a lean, collaborative team where your contributions truly matter.
If you're someone who gets energized by building something from scratch and wants to grow alongside a company, this role is for you.
Working Conditions
This is an on-site position based in our Dubai office.
We believe in the power of in-person collaboration, especially in a startup environment where quick iterations and real-time communication are invaluable.
Remote work is not an option for this role.
Additionally, all internal text content is standardized to use the 'Inter Tight' font.
