Senior Frontend Engineer Role - React & Next.js Growth in Columbus
Career & Market Insight
Career Trajectory: This is a rare opportunity to be the sole frontend champion on a backend-heavy team — giving you high visibility and direct influence over technical direction. For mid-to-senior frontend engineers, this is a strong career accelerator rather than a lateral move.
Skills You'll Build:
- React, Next.js, TypeScript, SvelteKit — all in high demand; SvelteKit experience is particularly differentiated in the job market.
- UI component library architecture and design system ownership.
- Full-stack exposure (Node.js, PostgreSQL) without losing frontend depth.
- Cross-functional advocacy skills — influencing a backend-dominant team on frontend best practices.
Compensation Context: The USD pay promise is meaningful for LATAM candidates. Senior frontend engineers in LATAM via nearshore firms typically earn $60,000–$100,000 USD annually, well above local market rates. This is a green flag for financial growth.
Culture & Growth Signals: Truelogic's staff augmentation model means you're embedded in a client's product team (a NYC real estate tech company). This gives startup-like pace and impact. However, as a contractor via Truelogic, long-term job security is tied to the client relationship — worth clarifying contract length and renewal terms.
Green Flags: Autonomy, USD compensation, senior peers, and meaningful frontend ownership. Watch for: Confirm whether benefits (PTO, etc.) are from Truelogic or the end client, and clarify any timezone overlap requirements before committing.

Our Client
Our client is the first real estate company launched and designed for the marketplace of tomorrow. They grew from the #1 ranked sales team in New York City into a full-service firm that is revolutionizing the traditional real estate model.
Their in-house production and branding teams develop disruptive content that engages the market by exploring new creative frontiers and redefining pathways to connect. Their tech-powered innovation platform gives their listings unparalleled exposure by reaching more buyers than anyone else.

Job Summary
Our client is looking for a Frontend-Leaning Software Engineer to join their product team. While their current engineering bench is deeply rooted in backend architecture, they are looking for a specialist to bridge the gap between robust data structures and a world-class user interface.
They need a "browser-first" engineer — someone who is obsessed with the user's experience, highly skilled in modern CSS and styling, and capable of navigating a modern full-stack ecosystem without losing sight of pixel-perfect execution. You will partner closely with a backend-focused team to transform complex data into seamless, elegant interfaces, ensuring every interaction feels intuitive, performant, and visually exceptional while elevating frontend standards across the platform.
Responsibilities
Collaborate and develop the frontend for the client's core platforms, ensuring they meet the high aesthetic standards of the brand.
Master the Styles: Take full ownership of CSS, layout, and responsive design, ensuring applications are fluid, performant, and visually stunning.
Collaborate Across the Stack: Work closely with a backend-heavy team to integrate APIs and data models into a seamless, intuitive frontend experience.
Component Architecture: Build and maintain a scalable, reusable UI library that allows for rapid feature iteration across Next.js and SvelteKit environments.
Qualifications and Job Requirements
5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a strong focus on frontend development.
Expert-level proficiency in React, Next.js, and TypeScript.
Mastery of HTML5, CSS3, and TypeScript.
Proven experience building complex, responsive web applications from scratch.
Strong communication skills — you'll be the primary advocate for frontend excellence on the client's team.
Comfortable working across the stack when needed (Node.js, APIs, PostgreSQL).
