Principal Frontend Engineer

About us:

Public sector agencies, utilities and large health systems license our asset management platform under multi-year contracts. Headquartered in Chapel Hill since 2000, the company now sells in 40 countries and supports customers in 11 languages. Founded in 2000, we now have 370 employees.

About the role:

We're looking for a Principal Frontend Engineer to join our team. This is a remote role. 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, open to candidates across the US. Hours are flexible, with one short team call each morning. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.

What you'll be doing:

• Work with designers to adjust interactions when something doesn't hold up in the browser
• Maintain and extend the shared component library in Storybook
• Pair with backend engineers on API contracts before work starts
• Track down cross-browser bugs in Safari, Chrome, Firefox and mobile browsers
• Build UI features in React and TypeScript from Figma designs

Skills and experience:

• 7+ years building production web applications
• A good eye for spacing, alignment and small visual details
• Able to explain frontend tradeoffs to designers and product managers
• Solid HTML and CSS, including Flexbox, Grid and responsive layouts
• Strong JavaScript and TypeScript, including async code and the DOM

Benefits:

• Health, dental and vision coverage starting on day one
• 401(k) with 4% match
• Paid time off
• Flexible schedule
• Employee discount
• Referral program
• Paid parental leave
