ABOUT THE ROLE

We're looking for a frontend developer with a designer's eye to build Sarvam's web experiences. You'll start with our marketing website: the homepage, product and use-case pages, interactive demos and calculators. You'll write production code, build reusable UI systems and turn rough ideas into polished interfaces, working closely with design, marketing and product engineering.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

- Build the interface, not just the mockup. Write production-ready Astro and React components with thoughtful layouts, typography and responsive behaviour. Own the implementation from first prototype to the final browser-sized detail.

- Build a UI system that holds together. Create reusable components, layout primitives and shared styles with clear APIs and sensible variants. Make the next page easier to build without turning every component into a 40-prop puzzle.

- Make it feel right. Build interactions, transitions and animations that make interfaces clearer and more enjoyable. Think through keyboard use, loading, empty and error states, reduced motion and what happens when the happy path isn't so happy.

- Prototype in code. Explore alternative layouts and interactions with designers, test ideas in the browser and refine the details together. You should be comfortable suggesting a better implementation, not waiting for every pixel and breakpoint to be specified.

- Build the useful bits properly. Develop interactive demos, calculators and forms; connect thm to APIs and content. Handle state, validation, asynchronous behaviour and failures. Keep accessibility, performance, metadata and measurement working as part of what you ship.

- Own the engineering quality. Make sound choices about component structure, rendering and hydration. Debug browser and performance issues, write appropriate tests, review code and check preview deployments. Ship maintainable changes that work beyond your own laptop.

- Astro, React, TypeScript and CSS are at the core of the work. We use GitHub for code review and Railway for development and pull-request previews. Sanity, ImageKit and PostHog support content, media and measurement. You'll work with engineering on staging and production releases.

REQUIREMENTS

- Have built and shipped interfaces you're proud to put your name on. Show us the actual thing, what you coded and the decisions you made. A live link beats a paragraph of adjectives.
