Job Description
Job DescriptionAbout the Role
This is a high-ownership Senior Frontend Engineering role at a fast-growing AI platform company serving the logistics and trade compliance industry. You'll architect and evolve a real-time, data-intensive product used daily by operations teams navigating complex global trade workflows — bridging sophisticated backend AI with the humans who depend on it.
What You'll Do
-
Lead the migration and evolution of frontend architecture to support real-time, data-heavy dashboards using TypeScript, React, and Tailwind CSS.
-
Build intuitive human-in-the-loop AI interfaces that make automated workflows transparent, explainable, and easy for operations teams to manage.
-
Own the full product lifecycle — from technical discovery and scoping through to production monitoring.
-
Define frontend technical vision, mentor incoming engineers, and raise the bar for engineering culture.
-
Ensure core services maintain high uptime while gracefully handling unpredictable real-world document inputs.
-
Work directly with leadership and customers to understand operational needs and ship fast.
What We're Looking For
-
6–8+ years of professional software engineering experience in high-growth, fast-paced environments.
-
Deep proficiency in TypeScript and React, including architecting complex state management for data-intensive applications.
-
Strong command of Python for backend services and advanced SQL (PostgreSQL) for database design and query optimization.
-
Prior startup experience in a meaningful engineering role (not just a small side project).
-
Bias for action — prefers shipping over over-engineering and drives cross-functional delivery with minimal supervision.
-
Solid CS fundamentals and engineering foundations.
-
Experience integrating AI APIs and handling complex document extraction workflows is a plus.
-
Familiarity with logistics, supply chain, or enterprise workflow software is a plus.
