Senior Software Engineer, Front-End

As a growing robotics delivery company, we are in need of a web front end guru to drive rapid development of our fleet applications. Projects range from prototyping with UX specialists to unlock improved efficiency of remote pilots to rolling out improved UI frameworks and tools. While some projects can be built out as an individual contributor, others will include coordinating our full stack engineers to get the job done. We are still a small team with the opportunity to wear multiple hats which means lots of opportunity to influence every aspect of the applications we are developing.

Responsibilities

• Working closely with the Fleet Operations team, understanding their needs and use cases for tasking rovers for deliveries in urban environments, and empowering them with the right tools, business metrics and data.

• Partnering with User Experience Interaction engineers to design, prototype, and implement intuitive interfaces for human-robot interaction.

• Innovating and championing sustainable patterns for component UI development

• Drive our own software design decisions based on your learnings.

Qualifications

• In-depth knowledge of web technologies, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript and modern JavaScript libraries and tooling (e.g. React, Redux, Vue)

• Heavy SPA programming experience and an interest in both performance and tooling.

• Experience with UI CI/CD mechanisms and tooling related to deployment and caching (e.g service workers, CDN, etc)

• A track record of mentoring junior and senior engineers

• Experience shipping production code with full instrumentation: deployment, logging, and monitoring and documentation.

• Track record of designing and building a simple system that works and having it gradually evolve into a complex system that still works.

• An ability to convert vague problems into tangible production code.

• Good verbal and writing communication skills.

What makes you stand out

• Passionate and opinionated on what makes great UI for your customers
