Frontend Engineer (React)

Hi there!

We're Sweed, a product-driven startup building an all-in-one cannabis retail platform. We’re on the lookout for a Frontend Engineer (React) to join our team remotely and help us scale and optimize our platform.

About Us

At Sweed, we’re reimagining how cannabis retailers operate. Our enterprise-grade platform combines POS, eCommerce, Marketing, Analytics and Inventory Management into a single, seamless solution—eliminating the need for multiple third-party tools.

We believe in simplicity, efficiency, and innovation. That’s why we build for scalability and performance, making life easier for cannabis retailers while driving real business growth.

Why We’re Doing This

At Sweed, we believe in the medicinal potential of cannabis. It has been shown to help with chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and many other conditions. Despite the lingering stigma, we see cannabis as a powerful tool for improving lives.

The industry is evolving rapidly, and we’re here to drive that transformation—making cannabis retail more efficient, accessible, and customer-friendly.

Where We Are Now

We’ve been on the market for 7 years, continuously growing and refining our product.

Our focus is on earning customer trust, which means constantly improving our delivery processes and rolling out new features. At the same time, we navigate the complex legal landscape of the cannabis industry, ensuring our platform remains compliant and future-proof.

Team Structure

Our total team size is over 200 people:

The development team is distributed globally and organized into cross-functional product teams. These teams typically consist of 8–12 members, including front-end and back-end developers, QA specialists, and analysts.
Each team is led by a Team Lead and a Product Owner, ensuring effective collaboration and clear direction.
Meanwhile, our CEO, account managers, and customer success team are based in the USA, working closely with us to align product development with business and user needs.
Tech Stack:

TypeScript, React 19, CSS Modules, TanStack Query, Playwright, Vitest + Testing Library, Storybook, Vite, ReactRouter 7, Zod, OpenAPI, MFE, Monorepo.

AI-assisted development: Claude, Codex, and similar tools are a first-class part of our daily workflow - used for coding, reviews, refactoring, debugging, and documentation.

What You’ll Be Working On

• Participate in product discussions, planning, and technical design.

• Build and evolve integration flows between admin and client-facing applications.

• Refactor legacy code and improve architecture incrementally.

• Review pull/merge requests and mentor where helpful.

• Contribute to shared UI/core libraries used across portal and ECOM apps.

• Drive the evolution of our public UI component library across client-facing channels.

• Use AI tools effectively - write good prompts, build skills/agents/automations, and keep humans in the loop on quality.

What We’re Looking For

• 4+ years of frontend experience in a product company.

• Strong TypeScript and React fundamentals.

• Comfortable with React Context and async data layers (TanStack Query or similar).

• Good grasp of SSR (Server-Side Rendering) and hydration concepts.

• Solid testing habits (unit + E2E).

• Engineering mindset — pragmatic trade-offs, attention to performance, accessibility, and DX.

• Hands-on experience with AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or equivalents) and a thoughtful approach to where they help vs. where they need oversight.

• Bonus: experience writing custom agents/skills/MCP integrations, OpenAPI-driven codegen, observability tooling, or working in a large legacy codebase under refactor.

What Else Matters?

• Proactivity – We love team members who take initiative and provide feedback

• Critical thinking – We value problem-solvers who think beyond just writing code

• Adaptability – Our industry is evolving fast, and we need people who thrive in change

What We Offer

• 100% remote – We’re a remote-first company, no offices needed!

• Flexible working hours – Core team time: 09:00-15:00 GMT (flexible per team)

• 12 holidays per year

• 3 sick leave days
