Develop AI for manga localization, focusing on automation and workflow efficiency.
About this role
Mantra is hiring a Frontend Engineer for Mantra Engine, its cloud service for corporations that specializes in manga translation. The B2B development team is small, one full-time member plus a few contractors, and is growing; it lacks anyone with engineering-manager or tech-lead experience and wants engineers who can help lead it.
The engineer owns the frontend of the main B2B workflows in Vue 3 and TypeScript, designs and evolves a maintainable UI architecture covering component boundaries, state and data flow and routing, and builds reusable components. The work includes agreeing API contracts with the Django backend team (error handling, pagination), turning business and product needs into clear specs and good UX, and improving performance, accessibility, reliability and developer experience.
Applicants need substantial production experience with modern JavaScript or TypeScript and a component framework such as Vue or React, the ability to design frontend architecture, a record of improving UX quality, cross-functional spec work with iterative releases, and English good enough for basic communication with non-Japanese speakers. Leading a small engineering team and Scrum experience are preferred.
