About the Role

SENIOR FRONTEND ENGINEER (CONTRACTOR)

Location: Remote (LATAM only)

Engagement: Contractor

Experience: Senior (5+ years)

Timezone: Must overlap with US working hours


ROLE SUMMARY

We are hiring a Senior Frontend Engineer (Contractor) to be a core individual contributor on our web application. This is a hands-on role (80%+ coding) focused on building high-quality, production-grade user interfaces used daily by haulers and operators in the field.

You will work closely with Product, Design, and Backend Engineering to ship features quickly while maintaining a high bar for quality, performance, and usability. This role requires strong ownership, clear communication, and the ability to operate independently in a remote environment.


AI-FIRST ENGINEERING

We are intentionally building an AI-assisted engineering organization. AI tools are part of the daily workflow, not optional.

What this means in practice:

- Daily use of tools such as Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot

- AI-assisted implementation, refactoring, test generation, and boilerplate

- You focus on architecture, UX decisions, edge cases, and quality

- You review all AI-generated output with a trust-but-verify mindset

This role is not a fit for engineers who are resistant to AI-assisted development or who rely on AI output without understanding the code being produced.


KEY RESPONSIBILITIES


BUILD & SHIP

- Implement pixel-accurate, responsive interfaces from Figma using React, TypeScript, and Material-UI (MUI)

- Own features end-to-end from design handoff through implementation, testing, deployment, and iteration

- Build complex, validated forms using React Hook Form

- Ensure mobile-first UX, including tablet-first workflows used in the field


QUALITY & CRAFT

- Own frontend testing across unit, integration, and e2e layers (Jest, React Testing Library, Cypress or Playwright)

- Drive frontend quality standards and best practices

- Optimize performance including bundle size, render performance, and Core Web Vitals

- Extend and customize MUI components using advanced CSS (Flexbox, Grid, CSS variables)


COLLABORATE & ITERATE

- Work closely with Product, Design, and Backend Engineering

- Participate in code reviews and mentor junior engineers

- Ship MVPs quickly and iterate based on customer feedback

- Communicate clearly in an async-first environment using Slack, Notion, and Loom


SHAPE THE PLATFORM

- Help define component patterns and frontend architecture

- Influence and support the transition from JavaScript to TypeScript

- Contribute to the evolution of the design system
