At Picton, technology is a competitive advantage, and this role offers the chance to shape how design and engineering come together, influencing both user experience and system architecture. You’ll collaborate across product, design, and backend teams, contributing to projects that directly impact our business and clients.
We value engineers who are curious, fearless in proposing ideas, and authentic in their collaboration—someone who owns their work and strives for excellence.
What You’ll Do
- Build responsive, accessible, and maintainable UIs using Next.js and React.
- Translate designs into smooth, consistent interfaces with modern CSS, flex/grid layouts, animations, and transitions where appropriate.
- Work with design libraries such as MUI, Chakra, or Tailwind, and help develop or extend custom design systems.
- Integrate cleanly with APIs and dynamic data sources, bringing structure and clarity to complex interfaces.
- Collaborate closely with designers using Figma, ensuring polished, cohesive experiences that align with Picton’s design language.
- Explore modern tooling, frameworks, and build systems to improve performance, scalability, and developer productivity.
- Contribute to design systems, component standards, and UX best practices across teams.

- Strong understanding of JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML, and CSS fundamentals.
- Hands-on experience with Next.js and the modern React ecosystem.
- Commitment to web accessibility and inclusive design practices.
- Comfort working with RESTful APIs and JSON data structures.

- Experience using Figma or similar tools to interpret and collaborate on design work.
- Awareness of authorization mechanisms and their impact on frontend architecture.
- Ownership mindset, curiosity, and commitment to clean execution.
Nice to Have
