About VLink


Started in 2006 and headquartered in Connecticut, VLink is one of the fastest growing digital technology services and consulting companies. Since its inception, our innovative team members have been solving the most complex business, and IT challenges of our global clients.


Job Description


We're looking for recent experience with pure React+Typescript, with best practices from React 18 (like no Classical components or Classical HOCs). Frameworks on top of React (like NextJS) aren't what we're looking for.


No frameworks. NextJS and other frameworks "on top" or React are more a minus, than plus.


Candidate should have recent experience with Redux and Redux Sagas specifically (not alternatives like Zustand and other state management libraries). It can be ReduxJS Toolkit (also known as RTK), but I will get deep into what it solves and why, and how it works. We're not leveraging RTK too much in our code base.


Candidate should have experience with working/creating/maintaining basic components (buttons, dropdowns, layouts, etc) without any 3rd party library such as Chakra, MUI, Antd, or others. They ought to be experienced with "styles-in-JS" pattern using either styled-components, or @emotion/styled. Preferably including advanced patterns like custom themes, theme mapping and wrappers, mobile responsive components, things like these.


Experience with latest data routing from react-router-dom is a plus, but not a deal breaker


Experience with mono repositories will be a plus (NX workspace is a huge plus), but not a deal breaker


When I'm sure they're familiar enough with things listed above, I WILL ask about architecture layering; it's "why" and "how".


Practiced ownership over their engineering decisions, and being exposed to the autonomy and decision making outside of "what CSS style to apply here"


Required skills


Total 10+ IT experience with Must have at least 2- 3 years Lead experience


Focus on candidates with strong hands‑on React + TypeScript (recent experience).


Must have explicit Redux Saga experience (watcher/worker, async flows) — avoid profiles with only Redux Toolkit/Context.


Look for Next.js production experience (SSR, SSG, routing) — not just exposure.


Prioritize candidates with Lead/Architect-level ownership (decision making, design discussions, mentoring).


Target candidates with enterprise‑scale applications and strong state management architecture experience.


Should understand and being able to explain what they're doing and how it works.


Good understanding of a higher‑level architecture and be able to have reasonable discussion about engineering and architecture conformity of the technical decisions they make.


Able to take long term consequences into consideration when making decisions.


Familiarity with technical debt, consequences of having it, and ideas how to avoid having it.
