Frontend Engineer

- Remote
Job Description:
We're building Keymate, a next-gen identity & access management platform extending Keycloak with fine-grained authorization, multi-tenant policy control, and API-level observability.
This isn't just another dashboard job.
We're looking for a React Engineer with a strong architectural mindset to help us build a frontend framework, not just applications.
You'll work on the core of a developer-facing IAM product that includes:
- A visual policy builder with DSL + simulation
- A multi-tenant console with scoped org/role/permission views
- API routing and caching layers (using Next.js & Node)
- Observability dashboards powered by OpenTelemetry & SigNoz
If you love thinking in components, architecture, rendering modes, and UI state at scale, this is your place.
What You'll Do
- Architect and develop a modular, scalable frontend framework (built on React + Next.js)
- Implement SSR/CSR/hybrid rendering logic across pages and components
- Design reusable UI primitives and layout systems across our Admin Console
- Contribute to the evolution of our custom frontend meta-framework (possibly based on Refine)
- Build complex features like policy editors, attribute mappers, and role hierarchy viewers
- Lead API integration patterns with our Node.js API proxy layer (data routing, transformation, caching)
- Work closely with backend (Quarkus), FGAC, and observability engineers for full visibility experiences
What We're Looking For
- 4+ years of frontend engineering experience using React (not just library usage, but architecture)
- Deep knowledge of Next.js and SSR/CSR trade-offs in real-world apps
- Experience building or contributing to a frontend framework, design system, or developer platform
- Strong understanding of state, caching, hydration, layout performance, and testability
- Ability to work across the stack with Node.js, REST/gRPC APIs, or OpenAPI integrations
- Familiarity with security-oriented or infrastructure-oriented UIs is a strong plus
Nice to Have
- Familiarity with authorization visualizations (RBAC trees, policy diff, permission matrices)
- Knowledge of Refine, Shadcn/UI, Tailwind, or tRPC is a plus
- Understanding of frontend observability, OpenTelemetry tracing, or API instrumentation
- Experience building admin consoles, workflow editors, or low-code builders
What We Offer
- The opportunity to define the frontend foundation of a platform used across enterprises
- A product-first team with deep respect for architecture, DX, and maintainability
- Fully remote and async-friendly culture
- Direct impact on how IAM, authorization, and API security are visualized and managed
Note: This role is for engineers—not just implementers. You'll shape the tools and patterns other developers rely on.
