Front-End MERN Engineer

AI-First, Rapid ShippingRole title
Front-End MERN Engineer (React/Next.js) + Capacitor (iOS/Android) + UI/UX Design
Type
Contract to start (2–4 weeks trial). Long-term role for the right person.
Location / Time
Remote. Must overlap daily with ICT (Thailand) working hours for fast feedback loops and quick turnarounds.

What you will be doing
You will take the SportsFixtures.net front-end and push it to production-ready across:
Web App (Next.js / React)
PWA (installable, offline-safe basics, push-ready foundation)
iOS + Android apps shipped via Capacitor (production builds, store-ready packaging)
This is a delivery role. You’ll ship improvements daily, move fast, and keep quality high.
What “success” looks like (non-negotiable)
You can start immediately and ship meaningful progress in your first 48 hours.
You produce production-grade UI: clean spacing, consistent components, responsive layouts, fast load times.
You don’t hide behind blockers. You communicate clearly, propose solutions, and keep shipping.
You work AI-first to move faster (Copilot/Cursor/Claude/etc.) but you still understand what the AI produces and you can debug it properly.
Core responsibilities
Build and refine the SportsFixtures.net UI to look and feel like a top-tier sports scores site.
Implement fast, scannable “Live Now / Ticker / Browse” sections with excellent mobile gestures and desktop behavior.
Improve performance (Core Web Vitals, bundle size, image handling, caching strategy, rendering strategy).
Convert web to PWA properly (manifest, icons, install flow, basic offline strategy, error states).
Wrap and ship iOS/Android using Capacitor:
Native build pipeline
App icons/splash screens
Deep links + routing sanity
Store-ready builds (TestFlight / Play Console)
Clean component system:
Reusable UI kit
Design tokens (spacing, typography, colors)
Consistent states (loading/empty/error)
Maintain a tight dev loop:
Daily commits
PRs with clear notes
Fast fixes
Required skill set (must have)
Strong React + Next.js (App Router preferred), TypeScript
Solid UI engineering fundamentals:
Responsive design
Component architecture
State management
Accessibility basics
Capacitor experience shipping real apps:
iOS + Android builds
Device testing
Release process
Strong CSS skills (Tailwind acceptable if done properly)
Proven ability to ship quickly without wrecking quality
Portfolio with production links (not just mockups)
Strongly preferred
Sports / live data UI experience (scores, schedules, “live” UX)
Experience with real performance work (not just “we should optimize”)
Experience packaging PWA + native wrapper in one workflow
Familiarity with CI/CD for frontend builds
Experience working with Strapi (API integration, auth, roles)
Your working style (this matters)
You communicate like a pro:
clear daily updates
fast responses during overlap hours
no disappearing
You handle ambiguity and still move forward.
You can take feedback without ego and implement fast.
You are accountable. If you commit to a deliverable, it lands.
Interview process (fast)

Skills test (time-boxed, real-world task)
Review + live walkthrough
Short screening call (15 minutes)
Paid onboarding sprint (2–4 days)
If you perform, you stay. If not, we stop quickly.
