Frontend Software Engineer

Robotic Technologies Automation; San Jose (CA); On-site; USD 150,000 - 210,000; Full time

Job summary

Robotic Technologies Automation in San Jose, CA seeks a senior software architect to translate customer needs into CUJs, prototype UX, and select SPA/SSR frameworks. You will craft wireframes, design robust client/server interactions, and implement modern web build pipelines with a focus on security and scalability.

Proficiency with REST/OpenAPI, gRPC, WebSockets, and distributed tracing is essential, as is experience with GAIs and RBAC/ABAC.

Qualifications

• Translate customer requests into persona-driven Critical User Journeys (CUJs).
• Create wireframes and prototypes to communicate UX and architecture.
• Able to pragmatically select SPA/SSR frameworks (React, Angular/Vue, HTMX).
• Design and implement modern web build pipelines (bundling, transpilation, minification).
• Basic familiarity with GCP projects, IAM, networking, and load balancers.
• Define and enforce REST/OpenAPI and gRPC contracts for services.
• Implement SSE/WebSockets for real-time streaming.
• Instrument distributed tracing and structured logging while protecting PII/PHI.
• Explore hybrid agentic UI workflows when applicable.
• Ensure enterprise IAM, SSO, and RBAC/ABAC across routes.

Responsibilities

• Design and engineer software to defined quality tiers (PoC → MVP).
• Adjust architecture, testing, and polish to target quality level.
• Leverage GenAI coding agents with product/technical design flow.
• Balance GenAI use with human code review, CI gates, tests, and deterministic mocks.

Work Authorization:

US Citizen, Green Card, OPT-EAD, CPT, H-1B, H4-EAD, Other

Technical Skills:

• Ability to translate customer requests into persona-driven Critical User Journeys (CUJs)
• Wireframes/prototyping
• (Preferred) Experience with Figma, Tailwind CSS, Material Design
• Ability to pragmatically select frameworks across SPA/SSR (React, Angular/Vue, Alpine, HTMX)
• Command of modern web build pipelines and processes (bundling, transpilation, minification, tree-shaking, and lean container builds).
• Experience with GCP platform at a basic level, including proficiency with projects, IAM, networking and load balancers, IAP, GCS, Cloud Build.
• Component and service/transport abstractions
• Strict contract adherence (REST/OpenAPI, gRPC)
• SSE / WebSockets for real-time streaming
• Instrumenting client/application distributed tracing, CUJ metrics, and structured logging without exposing PII/PHI (Required).
• (Preferred) Hybrid agentic UI workflows (reasoning traces, HITL approvals, graceful fallbacks) when applicable.
• Enterprise Identity & Access Control
• Experience integrating web apps with enterprise SSO and auth flows (OIDC, OAuth 2.0, SAML, IAP)
• Enforcing RBAC/ABAC across routes and views.
• Architecting clean client and server-cache state (caching, async/concurrency, request cancellation, multi-turn session state)
• Web Security & Compliant Data Handling
• XSS, CSRF, CORS, and CSP defenses (including sanitizing untrusted user or AI/LLM-generated content before rendering)
• Strict PII/PHI and secret hygiene.

SDLC :

• Proven ability to design and engineer to a defined quality tier (PoC, Integrated Prototype, MVP, MLP)
• Skilled in adjusting architecture, testing, and polish/quality commensurate to the target quality level
• Proficiency using GenAI coding agents and developer tools using spec-driven dev model (Product Requirements Document → Technical Design Document → Feature Specs)
• Skilled at balancing leveraging GenAI and applying human touch: e.g. code review, automated CI gates (strict typing, linting, security), and pragmatic, quality-tier-appropriate testing (unit/component tests, deterministic API/transport mocking, and E2E journey tests).

Consulting & Professional Attributes :

• Ability to represent the team with authority, defending scope boundaries and clearly explaining complex UX, architectural, and quality-tier trade-offs to customer stakeholders.
• Collaborative Google-partner/customer delivery team execution where we build with the customer, not for the customer; skilled at maintaining transparency, PR review, documentation, UAT alignment, and customer handoff.
