React UI Engineering Internship

Job Description

About the Role:

• We are moving beyond standard UI implementation. We are looking for an engineer who builds interfaces with the mindset of a solution architect. You will not just be translating designs into code; you will be dissecting complex business logic and rendering it into a seamless, high-performance user experience.
• Your primary weapon will be React, but your core strength must be your ability to solve problems using strong algorithmic foundations. We value candidates who can look at a vague business requirement, break it down analytically, and structure a technical solution that scales.

Key Responsibilities:

• Architecting UI Logic: Design and implement complex user interfaces using React.js. You will be responsible for the “Brain” of the UI, managing state, data flow, and complex logical operations on the client side.
• Analytical Implementation: Translate intricate business problems into functional frontend features. This requires a deep understanding of how data structures interact with UI components to ensure speed and accuracy.
• Performance Optimization: proactively identify bottlenecks. You will profile the application to minimize re-renders and ensure smooth performance across different devices and network speeds.
• Code Quality & Robustness: Write clean, maintainable, and testable code. You will build reusable libraries and components that the team can leverage for future features.
• Collaborative Development: Work closely with backend teams to define JSON schemas and API contracts. Your input will help shape how data is delivered to the frontend.
• System Integration: (If applicable based on skills) Assist in bridging the gap between the UI and our cloud infrastructure.

Mandatory Requirements:

• Strong CS Fundamentals: Deep understanding of Data Structures (Arrays, Trees, Graphs, Hash Maps) and Algorithms. You must be able to discuss time and space complexity (Big O) regarding your code choices.
• Analytical Mindset: Proven ability to understand abstract business problems and convert them into technical logic quickly.
• React Experience (Strict Criteria):
• Must have hands-on React development experience.
• Specific Requirement: You must have completed a minimum 2-month project in React during a professional Internship OR a collaborative Academic Group Project.
• Note: Personal “self-projects,” solo tutorials, or clone apps will not be considered sufficient for this requirement.
• Modern Javascript: Proficiency in ES6+, DOM manipulation, and the JavaScript object model.

“Good to Have” (Preferred Qualifications):

• Backend Familiarity: Experience with Python and Django. Even though this is a UI role, understanding the backend logic is a massive plus.
• Database Knowledge: Experience with MongoDB or understanding of NoSQL database structures.
• Cloud Infrastructure: Familiarity with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) services, specifically:
• Virtual Machines (Compute Engine)
• Cloud Run
• Cloud Pub/Sub
• Cron jobs/Scheduler
• Architectural Knowledge: Understanding of various software architecture styles (e.g., MVC, Microservices, Event-driven) and how the frontend fits into the larger picture.

What we are looking for in you:

• You don’t just use a library; you understand how it works under the hood.
• You view a bug as a logical fallacy that needs to be disproven, not just patched.
• You are comfortable discussing why you chose a specific data structure for a UI state management problem.
