Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States for any employer without requiring current or future visa sponsorship (for example, employment-based visas such as H-1B, F-1/OPT, or similar), and must be authorized to begin work in the U.S. on their first day of employment

You’ve built and maintained component libraries, design systems, or shared UI infrastructure — you care about reusable, well-structured code that other engineers actually want to use

You have deep experience with at least one modern frontend framework (React, Svelte, Vue, or similar) and genuine curiosity about how they work under the hood. Experience with Ember.js migration is a strong plus

You’re familiar with AI-assisted development workflows and see them as a natural part of how modern software gets built

You have a strong intuition for frontend performance and know how to diagnose and resolve issues across the rendering and bundling pipeline

You have 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with most of that time focused on frontend development

You have a B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science or a similar technical field, or equivalent practical experience

Experience with real-time data, messaging infrastructure, or rich interactive experiences is a plus — especially if you’ve worked with web sockets or streaming APIs

You’re comfortable navigating a backend codebase when needed — reading and contributing to server-side code in Java, Node.js, or similar

You have a background or strong interest in fintech, wealth management, or financial advisor workflows
