About the role
Certa is hiring for the role of Front-End Engineer Intern!
Responsibilities of the Intern:
- Build UI components: Develop pixel-perfect, highly interactive UI components in React. - Turn designs into code: Translate Figma designs into production-ready code, and push back when the design doesn't make sense. - Own performance: Care about load times, re-renders, and bundle sizes. - Collaborate on APIs: Work with backend engineers to define APIs and data contracts. - Ship end-to-end with quality: Write component tests, maintain a high standard for code quality, and ship features end-to-end, not just the "frontend part."
Requirements
- JS/TS fundamentals: A solid grasp of JavaScript/TypeScript fundamentals: closures, async, and the event loop. - React: Working knowledge of React: hooks, state management, and component lifecycle. - Real project experience: You've shipped something real to the web (even if small) and gone beyond tutorials: thoughtful state management (what lives where and why), API integration with loading/error/auth handling, forms with client- and server-aware validation, multi-page routing (nested and protected routes, query params), or working with a component library or design system. - Debugging & performance: You can look at a broken UI and fix it without being told where to start, and you've used browser DevTools to spot and fix a slow render. - Quality & UX: You care about accessibility, responsiveness, and edge cases, not just happy paths, and you have opinions about UX that you're not afraid to voice. - AI-assisted building: You use AI tools (Copilot, v0, or similar) to build faster, and know when a suggestion is right and when it's subtly wrong.
