About the role

These are not simple CRUD interfaces-they are operational control surfaces for real-world systems.
We share a vision of freedom and security for the advancement of progress and innovation.

Responsibilities

Design and build scalable, maintainable frontend applications
Collaborate with product, UX, and backend engineers to define and implement features
Develop and maintain automated tests (unit, integration, and end-to-end)
You will own and drive the frontend experience, while working across the stack to ensure tight alignment between UI behavior, APIs, and underlying system capabilities.
You'll collaborate closely with backend engineers, platform engineers, and designers to build responsive, reliable, and intuitive experiences on top of complex APIs and distributed system state.
While frontend-focused, this role requires strong full-stack awareness-understanding how data flows through systems, how APIs are designed, and how frontend decisions impact system behavior, especially in asynchronous and distributed environments.

Requirements

5+ years of experience in frontend or fullstack development
Experience with testing strategies across frontend applications
Strong understanding of API design and integration (REST, GraphQL, etc.)
Experience working closely with backend systems and distributed architectures
Strong problem-solving skills and ability to navigate complex systems
Strong proficiency with modern frontend frameworks (Svelte or React preferred; Angular or similar frameworks acceptable)
Strong familiarity with modern frontend tooling and build system best practices
Experience building data-intensive or state-heavy applications
Excellent communication and collaboration skills

Nice to have

Familiarity with Kubernetes, containers, or distributed systems concepts
Experience designing for constrained or unreliable network environments
Contributions to open source or developer tooling projects
Experience with CI/CD and deployment pipelines
Full compensation packages are based on candidate experience.
