Frontend ReactJS Developer (UI Conversion)

Job description

Job Title: Frontend ReactJS Developer (UI Conversion & Interactions)
Level: Mid-Level (3–5 years experience)
Employment Type: Full-time(Remote)

Role Overview

We are looking for a Frontend ReactJS Developer (UI Conversion & Interactions) who not only converts Figma designs into clean React code, but also brings interfaces to life with smooth interactions, transitions, and micro-animations.

Your core mission:
Take UI/UX designs → build pixel-perfect, responsive, and highly interactive React frontends with thoughtful motion and delightful user experiences.

Key Responsibilities

1. UI to React Conversion

  • Convert Figma/Adobe XD/Sketch designs into production-ready React components.

  • Ensure pixel-perfect implementation of layout, spacing, typography, and visual hierarchy.

  • Build responsive layouts that behave consistently across desktop, tablet, and mobile.

2. Interactions, Transitions & Animations

  • Implement micro-interactions (hover states, active states, focus states, click effects, error states, tooltips, etc.).

  • Create smooth transitions between views, modals, drawers, and components.

  • Build loading states (skeletons, spinners, progressive loaders) that feel fast and modern.

  • Use animation libraries such as Framer Motion, React Spring, or GSAP to craft:

    • Page transitions

    • Animated lists, cards, and accordions

    • Subtle entrance/exit animations

  • Ensure animations are purposeful, performant, and aligned with UX goals (not just decorative).

  • Work with designers to interpret motion specs or propose motion patterns where none are defined.

3. Frontend Engineering

  • Develop reusable, modular React components with Hooks and composition patterns.

  • Implement state management using Redux or similar tools.

  • Integrate with RESTful/GraphQL APIs, handle data loading, and manage UI states (loading, error, empty).

  • Follow component-driven development and help maintain a shared component library where applicable.

4. Code Quality, Performance & Compatibility

  • Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code.

  • Optimize rendering, bundle size, and network usage to maintain smooth 60fps interactions where possible.

  • Debug and fix layout and interaction issues across major browsers and devices.

  • Use tools like Chrome DevTools, Lighthouse, React DevTools to profile and improve performance.

5. Collaboration & Process

  • Work closely with UI/UX designers to refine layouts, interactions, and motion behavior.

  • Collaborate with backend engineers on API contracts and data requirements.

  • Contribute to estimation, sprint planning, and technical discussions.

  • Provide input on design system evolution, especially regarding interactive components and motion guidelines.

6. Accessibility & Best Practices

  • Implement semantic HTML and appropriate ARIA attributes for interactive elements.

  • Ensure that key interactions are accessible via keyboard navigation and screen readers.

  • Follow best practices for SPA/React SEO, where relevant (meta tags, structured data in Next.js, etc.).

Required Skills & Qualifications

Education

  • Diploma/Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, IT, or equivalent practical experience.

Technical Skills

  • 3–5 years of experience in frontend development, with at least 2+ years in ReactJS.

  • Strong proficiency in:

    • ReactJS (Hooks, functional components, composition patterns)

    • JavaScript (ES6+); TypeScript experience is a strong plus

    • HTML5, CSS3, Flexbox, CSS Grid

  • Solid experience with UI interactions & animations, including at least one of:

    • Framer Motion, React Spring, GSAP, or equivalent libraries

  • Experience with styling approaches such as:

    • Tailwind CSS, SCSS, Styled Components, Emotion, or similar.

  • Familiarity with state management (Redux, Zustand, Context API, etc.).

  • Experience integrating RESTful APIs; GraphQL is a plus.

  • Strong understanding of responsive design, cross-browser compatibility, and web performance.

Tools & Workflow

  • Comfortable working with Figma/Adobe XD/Sketch for UI inspection, spacing, and motion references.

  • Hands-on experience with Git and standard branching workflows (GitHub / GitLab / Bitbucket).

  • Familiarity with bundlers and tooling (Vite, Webpack, or similar).

Soft Skills

  • Extreme attention to detail: you notice misaligned icons, incorrect easing, and off-timing.

  • Strong communication skills to discuss design trade-offs, motion details, and edge cases.

  • Ability to work independently and manage multiple tasks and deadlines.

  • Problem-solving mindset with a strong sense of ownership over the user experience.

Nice-to-Have

  • Experience with Next.js or other SSR/SSG React frameworks.

  • Experience designing or contributing to design systems (tokens, components, motion rules).

  • Knowledge of Jest, React Testing Library, or other testing tools.

  • Familiarity with CI/CD workflows for frontend deployment.

  • Understanding of Core Web Vitals, WCAG accessibility guidelines, and SEO in modern web apps.

Example Performance Indicators

  • Low number of UI/UX defects, especially related to interactions and visual fidelity.

  • High Lighthouse scores (Performance & Best Practices) on key screens.

  • Consistent 60fps experience on heavily interactive pages.

  • Positive feedback from designers and users on the smoothness and delight of the UI.
