As a Senior Front-End Developer at Overwatch Imaging, you’ll be a critical player in our development team, working closely alongside designers and fellow front-end engineers. You’ll build and maintain feature-rich, modern web interfaces using frameworks like React, provide thoughtful technical feedback, and play an influential role in defining architecture—bonus points if you bring experience with mapping libraries like Mapbox.

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate closely with designers and other front-end developers to transform mockups, wireframes, and visual designs into polished UI experiences.
• Implement rich, responsive, and performant front-end features with modern frameworks (e.g., React, Vue, Angular), as well as HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript/TypeScript
• Conduct thorough code reviews and provide constructive feedback to peer developers to maintain quality and consistency
• Plus: Leverage experience with map libraries (e.g., Mapbox, Leaflet, etc) to support geographically focused UI features
• Optimize front-end performance through tooling (e.g., Webpack, Vite), code splitting, lazy loading, SSR, and accessibility best practices
• Collaborate with product managers and designers to ensure the technical feasibility of UI/UX and smooth integration of requirements
• Mentor junior developers and contribute to shaping frontend architectural vision, maintainability, and best practices
• Proactively identify and **escalate** risks, and communicate early to anticipate issues impacting delivery timelines

Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience
• 5+ years of front-end development experience—proven expertise building complex, scalable UIs
• Deep knowledge of JavaScript (ES6+), TypeScript, HTML5, and CSS3
• Hands-on experience with modern frameworks such as React (preferred), Angular, or Vue.js
• Skilled with build tools and optimizations including bundlers, lazy loading, SSR, and performance tuning
• Experience reviewing and maintaining code, enforcing best practices and architectural standards
• Strong collaboration skills—able to interface effectively with designers, PMs, and backend developers
• Bonus if experienced with mapping libraries like Mapbox, Leaflet, or similar

Optional but Valuable

• Familiarity with CI/CD integration, accessibility (a11y), security practices, and cross-browser compatibility
• Prior work on performance at scale, or contributions to internal frontend architecture standards

What You’ll Gain

• Ownership of high-impact, UI-centric projects alongside designers and engineers
• Influence over architectural direction, tooling choices, and code quality in a modern frontend stack
• Opportunities to mentor and elevate other engineers
• A collaborative, design-minded engineering culture that values quality and innovation
• Competitive compensation, benefits, and growth opportunities
