Tech Stack
About the role
- Own and evolve core frontend libraries and the application platform that Vannevar's products are built on
- Design and implement shared infrastructure: routing, authentication, error handling, UI components, and cross-app patterns
- Improve developer experience: faster local dev, better build pipelines, and clearer documentation
- Partner with product teams to understand their needs and turn recurring patterns into reusable platform capabilities
- Mentor and guide engineers across the organization on frontend architecture and best practices
Requirements
- 7+ years of professional experience in frontend software development
- Experience working on frontend infrastructure, platform, or developer experience teams. You've built shared libraries, design systems, component frameworks, or internal tooling that other engineers depend on.
- Deep expertise in TypeScript and React. You've thought seriously about component API design, render performance, state management boundaries, and how to ship library code that other teams consume without friction.
- Strong opinions on developer experience, loosely held. You care about making other engineers productive and can balance long-term platform health with near-term team needs.
- Eye for design and attention to detail. You hold UI to a high visual and interaction quality bar.
- You treat other engineering teams as customers. You also care about the end users downstream (the operators using what gets built on top of your platform).
- Comfort operating across the stack when needed. You don't stop at the frontend boundary if the right solution involves a backend change.
Benefits
- Health, dental, and vision insurance
- Remote friendly with WeWork access
- Unlimited PTO, shared downtime during the federal holiday calendar, and company-wide off time at the end of each year
- 401(k) match
- Lifestyle & wellbeing stipends
- Salary top-up during military reserve duty
- Fully paid parental leave
- Child and pet care reimbursement during travel
