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:
Not just a maintenance role
Youll be developing key features and capabilities
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 do one thing; 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
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
Wants responsibility.
Doesnt panic when priorities shift or structure evolves.
Can think abstractly.
Wants a career.
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)
We dont expect you to know everything on day one but you should have a solid foundation in:
React / (youve built and deployed projects)
TypeScript: you understand the why of types
Modern CSS: Experience with Tailwind and/or MUI (we use both)
State Management: Understand how data flow through a complex application
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 highly structured and predictable environment this isnt it.
A chance to build something meaningful complex and evolving this is it
An ongoing challenge.
Opportunities to find the path you want.
This is a role for someone who wants to:
Build not just maintain
Influence not just execute
Ship real products used at scale
The Basics (Still Required)
Bachelors degree or equivalent experience
A portfolio/Git account that shows youve built things
Strong performance mindset
AI can be a useful tool but our engineers are expected to function without it.

We encourage our employees to have a continuous dialogue with management about growth opportunities throughout your tenure with the company.
