Front end engineer guide: what they build, UI skills to test, interview questions and India vs Philippines
What a front end engineer works on
- Build product screens in React and TypeScript from Figma files, matching spacing, states and edge cases
- Grow the design system: shared buttons, forms, tables and modals with docs in Storybook
- Manage client state and data fetching with tools like React Query, Redux or Zustand
- Keep pages fast by watching Core Web Vitals, bundle size and render counts
- Meet WCAG accessibility rules: semantic HTML, keyboard paths, focus order and contrast
- Write unit tests with Jest or Vitest and browser tests with Playwright or Cypress
- Agree on API contracts with backend developers and ship features behind flags
UI skills to test
| Skill | What good looks like |
|---|---|
| React fundamentals | Explains renders, effects and keys, and fixes a stale closure without guessing |
| TypeScript | Types props and API responses tightly and avoids any in shared code |
| CSS and layout | Builds responsive layouts with flexbox and grid that hold up on a small phone |
| Accessibility | Checks flows with a keyboard and a screen reader as well as automated scanners |
| Performance | Profiles a slow page, splits large bundles and lazy loads heavy routes |
| Product sense | Asks about empty, loading and error states before writing code |
Interview questions and how Exordiom vets
- A list of 5,000 rows makes the page freeze. What do you try first?
- How do you decide what belongs in global state versus local component state?
- Walk us through making a custom dropdown fully accessible.
- A design looks right on desktop but breaks on mobile Safari. How do you debug it?
- How would you introduce TypeScript into an older JavaScript codebase?
- Tell us about a component you built that other engineers reused.
Red flags: no accessibility habit, pixel-perfect only on one screen size, global state for everything, no tests on shared components, and copying UI libraries they cannot explain.
Our candidates are UI engineers who are already employed and performing well, so there's no waiting bench. They clear an AI interview shaped to your framework, then human rounds covering character, acumen, grit and experience. Once your engineer starts, Hypercare check-ins run in weeks 1 and 2, then every four weeks from week 6.
India vs Philippines for front end engineers
As of Oct 31, 2026, India has the larger React and TypeScript pool: GitLab, Okta, BlackLine and Motorola Solutions are hiring in Bengaluru, Agoda in Gurugram and ServiceNow in Hyderabad. The Philippines has a smaller front end pool with good web and design system experience. In both markets your front end engineer works your full US workday.
