Frontend Engineer (React)
WFA Digital Insight
Sweed’s Frontend Engineer (React) sits at the intersection of cutting‑edge web tech and a niche, regulated industry. The team operates fully distributed, meaning you’ll collaborate across time zones with product owners, QA, and analysts without a traditional office. What makes this opening distinct is the explicit emphasis on AI‑assisted development – the company expects you to write prompts for Claude, Codex or similar tools and integrate the output into production code. Daily work moves beyond pure feature work; you’ll refactor legacy modules, shape a shared UI component library, and design integration flows between admin and client‑facing portals. Candidates should be comfortable with TypeScript, React 19, server‑side rendering concepts, and rigorous testing practices, while also bringing a proactive, critical‑thinking mindset to a fast‑evolving regulatory space.
Job Description
HI THERE! We're Sweed https://sweedpos.com/#/, a product-driven startup building an all-in-one cannabis retail platform. We’re on the lookout for a Frontend Engineer (React) to join our team remotely and help us scale and optimize our platform. ABOUT US At Sweed, we’re reimagining how cannabis retailers operate. Our enterprise-grade platform combines POS, eCommerce, Marketing, Analytics and Inventory Management into a single, seamless solution—eliminating the need for multiple third-party tools. We believe in simplicity, efficiency, and innovation. That’s why we build for scalability and performance, making life easier for cannabis retailers while driving real business growth. WHY WE’RE DOING THIS At Sweed, we believe in the medicinal potential of cannabis. It has been shown to help with chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and many other conditions. Despite the lingering stigma, we see cannabis as a powerful tool for improving lives. The industry is evolving rapidly, and we’re here to drive that transformation—making cannabis retail more efficient, accessible, and customer-friendly. WHERE WE ARE NOW We’ve been on the market for 7 years, continuously growing and refining our product. Our focus is on earning customer trust, which means constantly improving our delivery processes and rolling out new features. At the same time, we navigate the complex legal landscape of the cannabis industry, ensuring our platform remains compliant and future-proof. TEAM STRUCTURE Our total team size is over 200 people: The development team is distributed globally and organized into cross-functional product teams. These teams typically consist of 8–12 members, including front-end and back-end developers, QA specialists, and analysts. Each team is led by a Team Lead and a Product Owner, ensuring effective collaboration and clear direction. Meanwhile, our CEO, account managers, and customer success team are based in the USA, working closely with us to align product development with business and user needs. Tech Stack: TypeScript, React 19, CSS Modules, TanStack Query, Playwright, Vitest + Testing Library, Storybook, Vite, ReactRouter 7, Zod, OpenAPI, MFE, Monorepo. AI-assisted development: Claude, Codex, and similar tools are a first-class part of our daily workflow - used for coding, reviews, refactoring, debugging, and documentation. WHAT YOU’LL BE WORKING ON - Participate in product discussions, planning, and technical design.
- Build and evolve integration flows between admin and client-facing applications.
- Refactor legacy code and improve architecture incrementally.
- Review pull/merge requests and mentor where helpful.
- Contribute to shared UI/core libraries used across portal and ECOM apps.
- Drive the evolution of our public UI component library across client-facing channels.
- Use AI tools effectively - write good prompts, build skills/agents/automations, and keep humans in the loop on quality.
- Strong TypeScript and React fundamentals.
- Comfortable with React Context and async data layers (TanStack Query or similar).
- Good grasp of SSR (Server-Side Rendering) and hydration concepts.
- Solid testing habits (unit + E2E).
- Engineering mindset — pragmatic trade-offs, attention to performance, accessibility, and DX.
- Hands-on experience with AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or equivalents) and a thoughtful approach to where they help vs. where they need oversight.
- Bonus: experience writing custom agents/skills/MCP integrations, OpenAPI-driven codegen, observability tooling, or working in a large legacy codebase under refactor.
- Proactivity – We love team members who take initiative and provide feedback - Critical thinking – We value problem-solvers who think beyond just writing code - Adaptability – Our industry is evolving fast, and we need people who thrive in change WHAT WE OFFER - Salary in USD (B2B contract with the US company) - 100% remote – We’re a remote-first company, no offices needed!
- Flexible working hours – Core team time: 10:00-16:00 CET (flexible per team) - 20 paid vacation days per year - 12 holidays per year - 3 sick leave days - Medical insurance after probation - Equipment reimbursement (laptops, monitors, etc.) HIRING PROCESS - Recruiter Call (30 minutes) – Includes a short English check - Online Technical Screening – Code challenge completed on a dedicated platform - Technical Interview (1.5 hours) – Deep dive into your skills (a second round may be added if needed) - Final Interview (1 hour) – Chat with our Head of Frontend
How to Stand Out
- Highlight concrete examples of TypeScript and React projects in your portfolio, especially those involving async data layers like TanStack Query.
- Demonstrate familiarity with AI coding assistants by sharing a brief case study or snippet where you used Claude or Copilot to accelerate development.
- Prepare to discuss your testing strategy; bring examples of unit and E2E tests you authored with Vitest or Playwright.
- Emphasize remote‑work discipline: mention tools you use for async collaboration, time‑zone coordination, and code review communication.
- During interviews, ask about the team’s approach to regulatory compliance and how the UI adapts to changing cannabis laws.
- If salary isn’t disclosed, research typical B2B rates for senior React engineers and be ready to negotiate based on your experience and the value of remote flexibility.
- Watch for vague promises about “equity” without specifics; request clarity on vesting schedules and ownership percentages before signing.
