Senior Frontend Engineer (React/TypeScript)

Senior Frontend Engineer (React/TypeScript)

We are looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer (React/TypeScript) to join a US-based logistics software company building a workforce management platform for delivery businesses. The product serves companies that run on large networks of independent contractor drivers, bringing onboarding, compliance and ongoing workforce administration into one place. Its customers are delivery operations across the United States. You will take frontend features from a first conversation with product all the way to production, splitting your time between planned product work and quick prototypes that test ideas before the team commits to them. You will talk directly with product and business stakeholders, look after a React codebase that has been growing for several years, and push the interface forward on quality, speed and accessibility, working alongside one other senior frontend engineer. The engineer who does well here is self-directed, comfortable with loose specs, and writes clearly, because writing is how a distributed team talks.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience building production web applications

• Deep knowledge of React, including rendering behaviour, state management trade-offs, and the reasons frontend applications become slow or fragile

• Strong TypeScript skills

• Solid CSS and layout skills, able to turn a design or a rough sketch into an interface that looks right on every screen

• Experience consuming and shaping REST APIs

• Daily use of AI coding tools as a core part of your development workflow

• The ability to build a working prototype substantially faster with AI than without, and to explain concretely how: what you delegate, what you write yourself, how you keep the output reviewable

• Working knowledge of AI failure modes - plausible-but-wrong code, silent scope drift, unneeded abstractions - with habits that catch them

• Meaningful experience in a small team or startup where you were the person responsible

• The ability to hold a direct conversation with a non-technical stakeholder and come away with a clearer problem than you went in with

• Availability for at least 3 hours of daily overlap with US Eastern Time

• Professional spoken and written English, with the clear writing a distributed team runs on

Nice to Have

• Design sensibility - you improve a mediocre design instead of implementing it faithfully

• Enough backend familiarity, with Node.js or another stack, to read server code and unblock yourself

• Testing habits proportional to risk - you know what is worth testing and what is not

Responsibilities

• Own frontend features end to end, from an early conversation with product to a shipped feature in production, including the parts nobody assigned to you

• Build quick, credible prototypes that help the team decide on a direction before committing to it

• Work directly with product and business stakeholders, asking the questions that change the spec

• Push back on specifications and API designs when they make the frontend worse

• Keep a several-year-old React codebase healthy, so it stays pleasant to work in

• Improve the quality, performance and accessibility of the interface

• Turn designs and rough sketches into interfaces that look right on every screen

• Prototype and ship faster with AI coding tools, keeping the output reviewable

• Review code and take part in technical decisions within a small senior frontend team
