Sr. Software Engineer

Job Overview

Are you passionate about crafting scalable, delightful interfaces that solve real problems with social impact? Do you enjoy turning prototypes into fast, accessible, and maintainable web experiences that serve millions every day? We’re looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer to help transform the future of employment across Latin America and the United States.

🎨 At iCIMS we build cutting-edge enterprise software that automates and optimizes how companies attract, select, and manage talent. We focus on high-impact, scalable, data-driven products designed to improve the lives of millions.

As a Senior Frontend Engineer, you’ll partner closely with Product and UX/UI to translate Figma and AI-driven prototypes into pixel-perfect React interfaces using JavaScript/TypeScript. You’ll lead architectural decisions, integrate with APIs, document components in Storybook, and evolve our design system. You’ll prioritize performance, accessibility, and quality—and bring experience with microfrontends (Module Federation), optimistic updates, and event-driven patterns to deliver modern, reliable experiences.

About Us

When you join iCIMS, you join the team helping global companies transform business and the world through the power of talent. Our customers do amazing things: design rocket ships, create vaccines, deliver consumer goods globally, overnight, with a smile. As the Talent Cloud company, we empower these organizations to attract, engage, hire, and advance the right talent. We’re passionate about helping companies build a diverse, winning workforce and about building our home team. We're dedicated to fostering an inclusive, purpose-driven, and innovative work environment where everyone belongs.

Responsibilities

🤝 Your responsibilities will include:

• Craft delightful, pixel-perfect UIs in React + JavaScript, partnering with Product and UX/UI from idea to ship.
• Integrate with internal and third-party APIs; deliver fast, resilient flows with optimistic updates.
• Help evolve our design system and shared component libraries with Storybook.
• Improve performance and reliability through smart architecture, testing, and monitoring.
• Contribute to a strong engineering culture via reviews, mentoring, and documentation.

🧐 Some projects you might work on:

• Applicant Tracking System (ATS) — Build core hiring pipelines, candidate profiles with activity timelines, evaluations, mentions, and role-based permissions. Integrate email/SMS, calendars, and job boards; add resume parsing, search, rules/automation, event-driven updates, and compliance (audit logs, GDPR).
• Design System & Component Library — Tokens, theming, accessible primitives (WCAG 2.1 AA), and Storybook docs with visual regression tests for cross-app reuse.
• Microfrontends Platform — Build a Module Federation strategy (shared components, utilities, and routing contracts) with independent deploys and semantic versioning.
• Scheduling Platform — Calendar integrations, timezone handling, availability UI, and live status changes tied to an event-driven backend.
• Notifications / In-App Messaging — EDA-powered toasts, inbox, and subscription UIs with background sync and conflict resolution for async tasks.
• Performance Optimizations — Code-splitting, bundle analysis (Webpack/Vite), image optimization, and Next.js SSR/SSG tuning to hit CWV targets.
• Experimentation & Feature Flags — A/B tests, gradual rollouts, and telemetry loops to validate UX hypotheses from AI-assisted prototypes.
• Developer Experience — CI/CD previews, component scaffolding, ESLint/Prettier standards, and auto-generated docs to keep the front-end flywheel smooth.

Qualifications

🎯 We are looking for someone with:

• 5+ years building production React apps; expert in modern JavaScript and the browser.
• Strong proficiency integrating with REST/GraphQL APIs, including auth, error handling, and caching strategies.
• Solid experience with state management (Redux Toolkit, Zustand, React Query/TanStack Query).
• Experience with Webpack (or Vite), Git, testing (Jest,Playwright,Cypress), and accessibility.
• Comfortable collaborating in UI design & prototyping tools (e.g.: Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD) and with AI-driven prototypes.
• Strong eye for detail and quality; experience working closely with designers.
• Autonomy and demonstrated ability to learn quickly
• Ability to communicate fluently in English (C1)
• You live in Mexico with a current CURP

Preferred

🔥 It would be ideal if you also have:

• TypeScript in production (strict mode, generics, utility types).
• Microfrontends experience, ideally Module Federation with shared contracts, versioning, and independent deploys.
• Event-driven/real-time UIs (WebSockets/SSE).
• Design systems at scale (design tokens, theming) and Storybook with visual regression (Chromatic/Playwright).
• Deep performance experience (Lighthouse/Core Web Vitals, code-splitting, bundle analysis with Webpack/Vite, caching/CDN).
• Testing culture: Jest, React Testing Library, Cypress/Playwright.
• Solid API know-how (REST/GraphQL, pagination, retries/backoff, ETags) plus auth flows (OAuth2/OIDC/SAML) and security basics (OWASP).
• Observability for frontend (Sentry, OpenTelemetry traces), analytics (Google Analytics, Mixpanel) and experiment platforms (feature flags/A/B).
• PWA skills (service workers, offline strategies, background sync).
• Domain context in ATS/HR workflows (pipelines, scorecards, compliance like GDPR/EEOC) is a plus.
• Ability to lead technical decisions and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams
