Job Overview:

As a Senior Front-End Engineer at Spring, you will lead the development of clean, accessible, and resilient UIs. You will architect and deliver critical front-end systems that power both customer and internal experiences, while also contributing to the back-end services and integrations that support them.

You will guide cross-team projects that shape our front-end architecture, design systems, and platform integrations. Your role involves clarifying complex UX challenges, proposing scalable solutions, and elevating consistency, performance, and accessibility across the product. You will take full ownership of testing and validation, helping define standards for test coverage, automation, and CI reliability. Leading by example, you will build robust test pyramids and ensure visual regression and performance risks are minimized.

You will partner with leadership, PMs, designers, and stakeholders to align priorities with user and business goals. You will represent front-end interests in cross-functional discussions — from accessibility and UI security to platform adoption and internal mentorship.

What you’ll do:

• Lead the design and development of large-scale UI systems and experiences, with full-stack ownership.
• Shape front-end architecture, patterns, and technical direction within your team or domain.
• Collaborate with business, product, and design stakeholders to solve user problems with technical rigor.
• Champion accessibility, responsiveness, and UX quality across platforms and devices.
• Mentor engineers at all levels, and drive cultural norms around collaboration, review quality, and inclusion.
• Identify and address long-term tech debt, performance bottlenecks, and architectural risks.
• Contribute to on-call rotations and post-incident learning processes.

What You Should Already Have:

• 5+ years of experience in front-end and full-stack engineering roles.
• Strong understanding of accessibility, design systems, and UI architecture.
• Experience building and operating production systems, including CI / CD, monitoring, and observability.
• Track record of leading projects, mentoring engineers, and elevating technical quality across a team.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to influence product and engineering strategy.

What We Will Give You:

• Competitive annual salary ranging from $115,000 to $140,000+, reflective of experience and impact.
• Comprehensive benefits package, including extended health, dental, and vision coverage — with 100% of monthly premiums covered by Spring.
• GRSP matching program to support your long-term financial goals.
• Transit-Friendly Employer (Transit allowance).
• A modern, collaborative workspace in the heart of downtown Vancouver.
• Ongoing career growth opportunities.
