At Appspace, we’re passionate about creating better work experiences. We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer (UIUX) who is a technical expert and a "UX-minded" engineer. While we have a strong UX leadership team, we need an engineer who can translate those high-level designs into pixel-perfect, performant, and inclusive code without losing the user’s perspective.

Your Role: As a Senior Software Engineer (UIUX), you will be a lead Individual Contributor responsible for the development and maintenance of our web applications using React and Angular. You are the critical bridge between design and production. You won’t just “receive” designs; you will collaborate with our UX Directors to ensure technical feasibility and accessibility compliance while maintaining a high bar for usability and aesthetic precision.

A Day in the Life:

• Core Engineering: Utilize advanced AI-powered development practices and tools to generate, refine, and review clean, highly performant, and maintainable code in React and Angular, focusing on complex requirements and maximum efficiency.
• UX/Engineering Bridge: Work closely with the Director of UX to implement sophisticated user interfaces, ensuring the "intent" of the design—including interaction patterns—is preserved in the final product.
• Technical Strategy: Participate in consultation with the Development Lead to estimate efforts and solve complex frontend architecture challenges, such as focus management in single-page applications.
• Quality & Performance: Develop unit-testable code and leverage modern web technologies e.g., Service Workers, Local Storage, etc. to ensure a fast, seamless user experience.
• Proactive Problem Solving: Identify and fix UI/UX bottlenecks and bugs that impact the end-user experience.

• AI Proficiency: Leveraging AI IDEs (e.g., Cursor) and AI-powered tools as a fundamental practice, with a proven track record of using them to accelerate and enhance UI/UX development and modification.
• Experience: 8+ years of commercial software development experience in an agile environment as a strong Individual Contributor.
• Framework Fluency: Significant experience with React and Angular. Comfortable working across both ecosystems.
• UX Sensibility: A strong eye for detail and the ability to empathize with the customer’s viewpoint. You understand that "done" means the feature works and it feels good to use, and it is usable by everyone.
• Design Systems Experience: Proven experience with design systems, including building reusable components, maintaining consistency across products, and collaborating with Design to evolve shared patterns and guidelines at scale.
• Accessible Systems: Deep understanding of WCAG and how they apply to modern web/mobile interfaces.
• Professional Rigor: Ability to work under pressure to meet deadlines while maintaining high standards for code quality and documentation.
• Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills to effectively collaborate with the UX and Backend teams.
