Summary:

What Were Building (and Why Its Kind of a Big Deal)

Were a small team inside TransPerfect building a massive internal platforma low-code application builder thats powering how our entire company operates. Its ambitious. Its complex. Its not done. And thats exactly why its fun.

Think:

• Drag-and-drop UI builder

• Highly dynamic data-driven interfaces

• Enterprise-scale without enterprise-level red tape

We operate more like a startup embedded inside a global company which means we move fast figure things out as we go and need people who are excited to build something real from the ground up.

What Youll Actually Be Doing

You wont just work on UI. Youll help define how this whole thing works.

• Build and evolve a drag-and-drop app builder used across the company

• Collaborate and shape frontend architecture decisions (React / )

• Implement highly interactive state-heavy UIs

• Create component systems that non-developers can configure and use

• Balance performance usability and flexibility in a complex environment

• Partner closely with product and design (who have opinions) and engineering (who have different opinions)

The Kind of Engineer This Role Needs

Were not looking for someone who needs perfect specs and clean workflows.

Were looking for someone who:

• Is comfortable when things are a little messy

• Can figure things out without a playbook

• Has strong eye for design and knows when to pivot

• Can think like both a developer and a designer

• Doesnt panic when priorities shift or structure evolves

If youve worked in a perfectly polished process-heavy dev org: this will feel different.

If youve ever said this could be built way better if we just: this is your playground.

Core Technical Stuff (Yes This Still Matters)

Youll need to be strong here were building something non-trivial.

• React / (deep experience not surface-level)

• Advanced state management (handling complex nested high-volume UI state)

• TypeScript (strict mode)youre comfortable modeling complex systems

• Component architectureyouve built systems not just screens

• Styling systems (we use a mix of MUI Tailwind yes really so experience in both is preferred)

• Performance tuning (keeping things smooth even when they shouldnt be)

Bonus points:

• Experience with low-code/no-code tools

• Thinking in JSON schemas / UI-as-data

• Building drag-and-drop interfaces

Design Mindset (This Is Big for Us)

We need engineers who care about UX not just functionality.

• You can design dense interfaces that still feel usable

• You think about how users actually interact with systems

• You understand tradeoffs between flexibility and clarity

• Youre comfortable shaping UXnot just implementing it

What Its Like Working Here

Lets be real:

• Were building something big with a small team

• The structure isnt perfect

• Priorities can shift

• Were figuring some things out as we go

But also:

• Youll have real ownership

• Your decisions will actually matter

• You wont be stuck maintaining legacy code forever

• Youll help define how this platform evolves

Why This Role Is Worth It

If youre looking for:

• A perfectly structured predictable environment this isnt it

• A chance to build something meaningful complex and evolving this is it

This is a role for someone who wants to:

• Build not just maintain

• Influence not just execute

• Ship real product used at scale

The Basics (Still Required)

• Bachelors degree or equivalent experience

• Experience building highly interactive web apps

• Strong performance mindset

• Familiarity with modern frontend tooling
