09.Frontend Engineer

Job Description

PayPay India is looking for a Frontend Engineer to work on our payment system to deliver the best payment experience for our customers.

Primary Responsibilities

• Deliver product features end-to-end: translate requirements into clean, scalable UI implementations with well-structured components and predictable data flow.
• Build reusable UI components and patterns: contribute to and extend our design system using tools like Storybook; prioritize consistency, accessibility basics, and developer ergonomics.
• Integrate APIs and handle real-world states: implement robust data fetching patterns (pagination, caching, retries), and manage loading/error/empty states with clear UX behavior.
• Write maintainable, modular code: apply good separation of concerns (presentation vs business logic vs API layer), meaningful abstractions, and clear naming; keep codebase easy to extend.
• Optimize performance and reliability: identify bottlenecks (rendering, network, bundle size), apply pragmatic improvements (memoization, debouncing, virtualization where relevant), and avoid async pitfalls (stale responses, race conditions).
• Improve engineering quality: participate actively in code reviews, raise the bar on standards, and help enforce best practices around testing strategy, i18n, and build tooling.
• Collaborate cross-functionally: work closely with PM/Design/Backend to clarify requirements, propose tradeoffs, and deliver iteratively with high ownership.
• Support operational excellence: By participating in on-call rotation and incident response, and by using observability tools such as Sentry, New Relic, and Kibana to debug production issues, measure impact, and improve system stability.
• Grow toward full-stack ownership : partner with backend teams and gradually take on BFF/API contributions using Node.js (NestJS/Express) as needed.

Tech Stack

Frontend: Typescript/Javascript , React/Vue, single-spa, Webpack, Jest, Storybook, i18n , micro-frontend

Middleware : NestJS, Express

Infra/CI: AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, ArgoCD, Terraform, GitHub Actions, Jenkins , CI/CD, BFF, Web Vital, Web Performance, Web SRE, Monitoring

Observability/Analytics: Sentry, Kibana, New Relic, Google Analytics, Firebase

Required qualifications (must-have)

• 4-7 years of professional frontend development experience.
• Strong JavaScript fundamentals.
• Solid experience in React and/or Vue.
• Proven ability to write readable, modular, production-quality code.
• Strong problem-solving skills with practical DSA (web-relevant) comfortable reasoning about time/space complexity.
• Performance awareness: can identify bottlenecks and implement pragmatic optimizations.
• Ability to do low-level design (LLD) for frontend features: break down requirements into components/modules, define interfaces, and plan implementation in milestones.
• Good communication: can explain approach and tradeoffs clearly.
• Leverage AI/LLM based tools in daily workflows ,
• Proven experience in web networking , security and hands on web change management

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Nest.js (routing, SSR/CSR tradeoffs, data fetching strategies).
• Experience with Node.js or API integration patterns (REST, pagination, auth flows, error handling).
• Familiarity with design systems, accessibility basics, and responsive UI patterns.
• Exposure to frontend observability (error logging, basic performance metrics).
• Experience with micro-frontends (e.g., single-spa) or large-scale frontend architectures.

What success looks like

• You can independently deliver a feature end-to-end with clean architecture and reliable async handling.
• Your code is modular, maintainable, and performance-conscious.
• You contribute to consistent UI patterns and raise team quality through reviews and collaboration.
