Front-End Engineer

Product, engineering and support teams work out of offices in Laredo, Texas and two nearshore delivery centers. We run one of the larger SaaS platforms for commercial insurance carriers, processing millions of policy transactions a year.

Looking for a Front-End Engineer who wants to stay somewhere for a while. This role sits between design and backend engineering. Expect to spend most of your time in TypeScript, CSS and browser dev tools. Part of this job is rebuilding an older AngularJS front end in React. Some of that work is unglamorous migration, and we won't pretend otherwise. Remote within the US. The team meets in Laredo once a quarter, travel covered. We keep meetings to a minimum and work mostly async. Clear written English is a must, as the team works across time zones.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Manage client state with Redux Toolkit, Zustand or TanStack Query.
• Profile and reduce bundle size, Core Web Vitals and time to interactive.
• Migrate legacy jQuery or AngularJS pages to the current stack.
• Track down cross-browser bugs in Safari, Chrome, Firefox and mobile browsers.
• Maintain and extend the shared component library in Storybook.
• Add analytics events and help product read the results.
• Fix accessibility issues and test with VoiceOver and NVDA against WCAG 2.1 AA.
• Set up and tune build tooling (Vite, webpack, ESLint, Prettier)

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

• 3+ years building production web applications.
• Git and a pull request based workflow.
• Solid HTML and CSS, including Flexbox, Grid and responsive layouts.
• Strong JavaScript and TypeScript, including async code and the DOM.
• Familiarity with accessibility standards and semantic markup.
• Experience with a styling approach such as Tailwind, CSS Modules or styled-components.
