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.

• Contribute to our culture by championing an innovative, collaborative, and bold vision for the company

• 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
