About the Role
Centric Software is developing a new generation of user experiences that combine generative AI with highly interactive visual interfaces, transforming how creative teams in fashion and retail explore, generate, and manipulate visual content.
We are seeking a Senior Front-End Engineer to lead the development of our visual canvas experience, integrating dynamic rendering, asynchronous image generation, and creative tooling into a seamless front-end layer. Think of tools with the interactivity of Figma or Miro, enhanced by the power of real-time AI.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the design and implementation of a canvas-style front-end interface for real-time visual content interaction.
- Develop modular, scalable UI components using React, TypeScript, and MobX.
- Ensure high-performance rendering, smooth asset manipulation, and a responsive user experience across a complex UI surface.
- Collaborate with UX designers, product managers, and back-end/AI engineers to create seamless user-facing generative workflows.
- Deliver high-quality, production-ready code with testing and CI/CD best practices (Jest, Cypress, etc.).
Must-Have Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience in front-end development.
- Strong expertise in React and TypeScript, with advanced understanding of state management (preferably MobX).
- Excellent CSS and layout skills, including experience with PostCSS (note: Tailwind is not used).
- Experience working with canvas-based interfaces—such as HTML5 Canvas, Konva.js, Fabric.js, or similar libraries.
- Familiarity with Docker, Bitbucket, and deployment environments (AWS, Azure, GCP).
- Strong architectural thinking with a focus on UI performance and scalability.
Nice-to-Have Qualifications
- Experience building tools for design, creative production, or visual content workflows.
- Exposure to WebGL, shaders, or GPU-accelerated rendering techniques.
- Experience integrating generative AI APIs (OpenAI, Stability, Replicate, etc.).
- Background in developing real-time or multi-user interfaces.
Soft Skills
- Collaboration-focused: Works closely with designers, product managers, and backend engineers in a fast-paced, cross-functional team.
- Excellent communication: Can articulate technical challenges and trade-offs clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Attention to detail: Passionate about visual polish, smooth interactions, and pixel-perfect execution.
- Autonomous and proactive: Takes initiative, drives components end-to-end, and delivers robust features with minimal supervision.
- Creative thinker: Comfortable working in experimental spaces, rapidly prototyping and iterating on new interaction models.
- Curious and adaptable: Interested in exploring new visual paradigms, generative UX, and pushing the boundaries of front-end innovation.
