Frontend Software Engineer, Data

Build intuitive frontend interfaces and data models for complex, high-volume telemetry and real-time operational data at the intersection of product, design, and engineering. Requires 5+ years building technical products, strong TypeScript/React skills, systems thinking, and comfort with ambiguity in sophisticated domains like observability or infrastructure.

About the role

Design products around complex data

Build interfaces that help engineers explore, understand, and act on large-scale telemetry and operational data. You'll help define the underlying data models and user workflows that power the product.

Own ambiguous product problems

Partner closely with product, design, and engineering to turn loosely defined ideas into intuitive user experiences. You'll challenge assumptions, validate workflows directly with users, and make confident product decisions when requirements are incomplete.

Build systems, not just screens

Develop scalable frontend architecture using React, TypeScript, and modern web technologies. You'll work across application state, data fetching, rendering, and performance to support complex workflows and large datasets.

Make complexity feel simple

Design experiences that expose powerful capabilities without overwhelming users. You'll think deeply about information architecture, interaction design, and how technical users reason about their work.

Optimize for performance

Build responsive interfaces capable of handling real-time updates, high-frequency data streams, and large datasets while maintaining exceptional usability and performance.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience building products for technical users where you’ve been involved in shaping the data model.
  • Strong experience with TypeScript, and modern frontend architecture, along with an understanding of how frontend systems interact with backend services.
  • Experience building products involving large datasets, real-time systems, observability platforms, developer tools, infrastructure software, GIS, security products, financial systems, or other technically sophisticated domains.
  • A track record of navigating ambiguity by defining problems, forming hypotheses, and iterating with users instead of waiting for complete specifications.
  • Strong product instincts. You naturally ask "Why are we building this?" before "How should I implement it?" and aren't afraid to challenge assumptions when you believe there's a better solution for users.
  • A systems mindset. You enjoy reasoning about data models, user workflows, and how complex systems should behave before jumping into implementation.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to explain technical and product tradeoffs clearly across engineering, design, and product teams.

Nice-to-Haves

  • Systems Thinking: Experience designing products around complex object models, relationships, and workflows rather than simple CRUD interfaces.
  • Product Thinking: Ability to understand user goals, simplify complicated workflows, and make thoughtful product decisions under ambiguity.
  • Frontend Architecture: Strong experience with React, TypeScript, modern state management, asynchronous data flows, and scalable application architecture.
  • Backend Collaboration: Comfort reasoning about APIs, data loading strategies, backend constraints, and making architectural tradeoffs across the full stack.
  • Performance Engineering: Experience optimizing rendering, managing large datasets, virtualized interfaces, streaming updates, caching strategies, and browser performance.
  • Data Visualization: Experience building rich data exploration tools, visualization systems, or interactive applications involving complex datasets is a plus.

Compensation

The base pay range for this role is $225,000 – $275,000 per year.

Benefits

  • 100% coverage of medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Unlimited PTO and sick leave
  • Free lunch, snacks, and coffee
  • Professional Development Stipend
  • Annual company retreat
