Job description

About Us
Fieldtech is building the new operating system for financial representatives selling insurance. We replace the existing complex web of 4-7 technical solutions with a cohesive, process-oriented platform that automates manual workflows and empowers team members to focus on what they do best. We are at the beginning of our journey in reinventing the operating system that drives $100B+ of annual revenue and in doing so, bringing insurance services into the 21st century to help bolster financial security for the nearly 40M US households who don’t have sufficient coverage to thrive in times of hardship.

What’s the opportunity?

Fieldtech was developed by a leading team of insurance and financial service executives and is already powering one of the nation’s premier financial planning and advisory firms in the US. We have received a significant capital commitment from a strategic capital partner and as a result, are positioned with the cash, horsepower, and strategic relationships to move quickly to modernize an antiquated industry that is particularly slow to evolve. If you are energized by turning complex, labor-intensive workflows into elegant and modern technical solutions – we want you on our team.

We are looking for a Senior Front-End Software Engineer to join our team. In this role you’ll work on a modern codebase with a small, but talented and passionate, team of engineers. The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of web development technologies and a passion for creating user-friendly and visually appealing web applications.

What You’ll Do
• Develop and maintain responsive web applications using React, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
• Collaborate with product teams and back-end developers to create seamless user experiences.
• Optimize web applications for maximum speed and scalability.
• Clearly communicate the scope of technical work during refinement sessions
• Ensure the technical feasibility of UI/UX designs.
• Implement and maintain front-end frameworks and libraries.
• Conduct code reviews and provide constructive feedback to team members.
• Stay up to date with emerging trends and technologies in front-end development
• Contribute to our culture by championing an innovative, collaborative, and bold vision for the company.

What You Bring
• Proven experience (5+ years) as a Front-End Developer or similar role.
• Proficiency in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and modern front-end frameworks (e.g., React, Angular, Vue.js).
• Experience with responsive and adaptive design.
• Familiarity with version control systems (e.g., Git).
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field (preferred).

Preferred Qualifications
• Experience with CSS preprocessors (e.g., Sass, LESS).
• Knowledge of web performance optimization techniques.
• Familiarity with testing frameworks and tools (e.g., Jest, React Testing Library, Playwright).
• Experience with state management libraries (e.g., Redux, MobX).
• Knowledge of build tools and task runners (e.g., Webpack, Vite, NX).
• WCAG/Accessibility experience.
• Familiarity with package managers (e.g., npm, Yarn).
• Experience with UI component libraries (e.g., Material-UI, Bootstrap, Ant Design)
• Experience refactoring legacy code to modern best practice
• Exposure to back-end systems and principles (e.g., .NET)

What we offer you
• An opportunity to change the life insurance landscape.
• An unparalleled opportunity to build something new, with lasting value, and create a working environment that helps individuals thrive professionally and personally.
• Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses.
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance.
• Retirement savings plan with company match.
• Ad hoc treats, events, continuing education and of course, company swag.
• A remote position with an expectation of some travel for in-person team meetings and to support client development.

The base salary range for this position is $81,000 – $95,000. The base salary offered will be determined by factors including, but not limited to, experience, credentials, education, certifications, skill level required for the position, the scope of the position, and geographic location.
