Senior Software Engineer - Frontend Frameworks

Join Frontend Frameworks at Workiva and help construct the internal frameworks that other teams build upon to make resilient and user-friendly web applications. The Frontend Architecture team owns the application shell that houses all of our products and our proprietary microfrontend framework that seamlessly integrates many independently deployed frontends.

As a Senior Frontend Engineer, you will play a central role in executing our frontend TypeScript enablement initiative by building frontend features and libraries, canonizing best practice patterns and tools, and guiding/mentoring fellow engineers in TypeScript + React development. You will help us elevate our frontend developer experience and bolster the scalability, adaptability, and expansiveness of our web applications. Through close collaboration with our talented engineering and design cohorts, you will drive the delivery of top-tier solutions that exceed our customers' expectations.

We are searching for an enthusiastic, frontend obsessed individual who relishes continual growth and is eager to grow TypeScript development across our products. If you are fueled by innovation and thrive in a collaborative setting, this role presents an exceptional opportunity to effect substantial change. Join our esteemed team at Workiva and become an integral part of a flourishing community of frontend experts, where your leadership will directly influence our products and clientele.
