About the Role

This is a high-ownership Senior Frontend Engineering role at a fast-growing AI platform company serving the logistics and trade compliance industry.

What You'll Do

• Lead the migration and evolution of frontend architecture to support real-time, data-heavy dashboards using TypeScript, React, and Tailwind CSS.

• Build intuitive human-in-the-loop AI interfaces that make automated workflows transparent, explainable, and easy for operations teams to manage.

• Define frontend technical vision, mentor incoming engineers, and raise the bar for engineering culture.

• Ensure core services maintain high uptime while gracefully handling unpredictable real-world document inputs.

• Work directly with leadership and customers to understand operational needs and ship fast.

What We're Looking For

• 6-8+ years of professional software engineering experience in high-growth, fast-paced environments.

• Deep proficiency in TypeScript and React, including architecting complex state management for data-intensive applications.

• Strong command of Python for backend services and advanced SQL (PostgreSQL) for database design and query optimization.

• Prior startup experience in a meaningful engineering role (not just a small side project).

• Bias for action - prefers shipping over over-engineering and drives cross-functional delivery with minimal supervision.

• Solid CS fundamentals and engineering foundations.

• Experience integrating AI APIs and handling complex document extraction workflows is a plus.

• Familiarity with logistics, supply chain, or enterprise workflow software is a plus.
