Job description

Before we tell you about Trendspek - we first have to say, this is not your typical frontend role.

Trendspek builds a precision remote-inspection platform on top of high-fidelity, 3D digital twins of real-world assets.

Our customers inspect, annotate and report on complex infrastructure without leaving their desk, powered by an interactive geospatial canvas, a local-first data layer that works at field scale, and reporting that turns inspection into decisions.

Right now, we're growing our engineering capability and investing heavily in an AI-assisted product and delivery roadmap, and we'd love for a Senior Frontend Engineer to join us!

Location

We're based in Sydney (Haymarket) and this role is in office ~3 days per week.

About your role

What you'll work on:

• 3D and geospatial interfaces - tilesets, splats, synced canvases, annotation workflows - and the product built on top of them
• The local-first data layer: client-side replication and sync (RxDB / IndexedDB), conflict resolution, offline behaviour, fast at scale
• Performance and reliability of a large SPA under real customer data volumes
• Security-conscious frontend work - pen-testing, PII handling, multi-tenant access control
• Crossing into the Laravel backend when a feature needs it. You don't stop at the API line
• Building AI into how the team works and what they ship

What you'll do

• Own significant features from spec to production.
• Write clear technical specs and make pragmatic calls with the trade-offs on the table.
• Lift the bar on testing, code review and observability (PostHog).
• Mentor engineers and be the technical reference point on the inspection surface.
• Work with Product and Design to turn ambiguous problems into shipped value.

What we're after

• Strong commercial Vue 3 + TypeScript (or deep React/TS with a willingness to go all-in on Vue)
• A track record owning complex, stateful SPAs: real state management (Pinia or equivalent), performance work, thoughtful component architecture
• Comfort with async data and client-side persistence - API integration, caching, keeping a rich client in sync
• Security-and quality-conscious: edge cases, auth, data exposure, failure modes, not just the happy path
• AI-assisted engineering as a daily habit (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) and a considered view on where it accelerates you and where human judgement still leads
• Senior communication and autonomy - you can drive a piece of work and bring others with you

Nice to have

• CI/CD and IaC (Docker, Northflank)
• AI-enabled product features (LLM integration, retrieval, assistive UX)
• Application security practice

What's next?

If you're a FE engineer motivated by solving hard problems that aren't solved anywhere else, in a small senior team where your architectural calls actually stick, and you enjoy working on a product being used on real infrastructure by people who depend on it... this could be the ideal role for you.

We look forward to hear from you!
