About the job
Senior Frontend Engineer (React / TypeScript)
Series A | Mission-Critical Systems | 100% Remote (USA)
We’re hiring a Senior Frontend Engineer to join a Series A systems startup (~40 engineers) building mission-critical platforms used for planning and high-stakes operational decision-making.
You’ll own complex, data-heavy front-end systems that sit at the core of our products. These applications are not marketing sites—they’re interactive, geospatial, and operational UIs where correctness, performance, and clarity directly impact real-world outcomes.
Our mission is to build and ship a dynamic, geospatial web application used in a mission-critical environment.
What You’ll Do:
- Own and ship front-end features end-to-end in a TypeScript / React codebase
- Build interactive geospatial UI workflows (Cesium-based) and the surrounding application UX
- Translate ambiguous requirements into working increments: break down tasks, identify dependencies, prioritize, and execute
- Improve UI performance and reliability in a data-heavy, highly dynamic application
- Collaborate closely with backend engineers to define API contracts, unblock yourself, and move work forward without heavy hand-holding
- Take features from concept → implementation → production ownership
- Contribute to frontend standards including code quality, component patterns, testing strategy, and release hygiene
What We’re Looking For:
- Extensive experience building production React applications (TypeScript strongly preferred)
- Proven ability to own features and drive them to completion in a small, fast-moving team
- Experience building complex, interactive UIs involving state management, async flows, and performance considerations
- Familiarity with component libraries and design systems (we use MUI / Material UI)
- Strong debugging and problem-solving skills—comfortable unblocking yourself rather than waiting on others
- Comfortable collaborating in a shared codebase with established standards and best practices
Nice-to-Haves:
- Geospatial / GIS experience (Cesium, map-heavy UIs, geo-data interactions)
- Some backend familiarity—enough to understand APIs, debug issues, and collaborate smoothly
- Python experience as a plus when working cross-stack with our environment
- Experience supporting simulation-style or real-time-ish workflows (gaming, visualization, mapping, flight/vehicle systems, etc.)
This Role Is:
- 100% Remote (USA only) with HQ in Boston
- Salary up to $220k
- Additional benefits
If this sounds like the kind of frontend engineering you want to be doing—owning complex, high-impact UI systems—we’d love to talk.
