Role Overview:

Open Innovation AI is expanding its on-site product engineering team in Abu Dhabi and needs a seasoned Senior Frontend Engineer whose primary focus is writing exceptional code. You’ll dive deep into feature development, shape our design system alongside UI/UX designers, and contribute to architectural decisions that power our AI-driven platform. If you thrive on variety, jumping between new feature implementation, design-system work, and refining SDLC processes— this role is built for you.

Key Responsibilities:

• Build and Ship Features: Design, code, test, and deliver complex user-facing features using modern TypeScript and React frameworks.

• Shape the Design System: Collaborate closely with UI/UX to extend and refine our component library, ensuring consistency, accessibility, and performance.
• Select Your Work Streams: Rotate across feature work, performance optimizations, tooling improvements, and design-system tasks—picking areas where you add the most value.
• Drive Code Quality: Champion automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, and code-review best practices that keep our release cadence fast and safe.
• Improve Developer Experience: Evaluate new libraries, propose refactors, and introduce tooling that boosts productivity across the frontend guild.

Required Skills:

• 10+ years of professional experience in frontend development, building production-grade web applications.
• Expertise in TypeScript and React (or comparable component-based framework) plus modern CSS techniques (Flexbox, Grid, pre-/post-processors).
• Solid grasp of basic data structures and how they work
• Familiarity with automated testing (unit, integration, E2E) and CI/CD pipelines.
• Comfort collaborating in agile teams, participating in code reviews, and writing clear technical documentation
