Frontend engineers who build the surface your users actually judge the product on.
We place senior frontend engineers at companies where the quality of the interface is the product. React, Vue, Svelte, and Solid across PK/CA/US — screened for architecture, performance, and accessibility fluency.
The senior frontend engineer market — the honest version.
Senior frontend has become one of the most misunderstood roles in hiring. Many "senior" candidates are component assemblers; the senior engineers who actually raise a product's bar understand rendering, state, bundling, a11y, and can author a design system from scratch. Our screens surface the difference. We ask for a recent component or system the candidate designed, we trace the decisions they made, and we pressure-test whether they can reason about the work rather than just describe it.
What we actually screen for.
Every senior frontend engineer candidate goes through a structured technical screen conducted by an ex-engineer recruiter before you see their profile.
- Framework depth — React, Vue, Svelte, Solid; SSR / RSC / islands / hydration trade-offs
- Performance literacy — bundle analysis, hydration cost, interaction-to-next-paint, image strategy
- Accessibility habit — WCAG compliance, keyboard nav, screen reader testing as standard practice
- Design-system authorship — tokens, variants, primitives, contribution model
- TypeScript depth — generics, discriminated unions, type-driven API design
- Testing discipline — unit, integration, visual regression, end-to-end

Senior Frontend Engineer hiring — questions we hear.
Yes — it's the central filter. We ask for a system or primitive the candidate designed, not just used. The difference surfaces in the first 15 minutes of the technical screen.
Yes. Design engineers (engineers with strong visual + interaction craft) are a distinct specialty we source for. We flag candidates explicitly on whether they fit the pure-engineer profile or the design-engineer profile.
