Staff Frontend Engineer (all Genders)

Responsibilities As a Staff Frontend Engineer, you are the technical authority for our frontend platform. You own the architecture and technical direction of the user-facing layer of our intralogistics management system, partnering with engineering leadership, product management, and business stakeholders to translate strategic objectives into scalable, well-executed technical solutions. Your architectural decisions shape how operators interact with robots and logistical processes in real factories and warehouses. You own the technical design and end-to-end execution of complex, cross-team frontend initiatives — from scoping and architecture to delivery and operational excellence. You are given business objectives, not technical instructions. You assess feasibility, estimate scope and resources, design high-level solutions, and defend your approach. You set the technical direction for our frontend ecosystem: Angular architecture, shared libraries, performance strategy, and tooling. You drive adoption of technologies and frameworks, making informed build-vs-buy decisions grounded in business context. You design for non-functional requirements — performance, scalability, reliability, observability — and consciously prioritize them alongside feature delivery. Our real-time WebSocket-driven UIs updating several times per second demand deep expertise in high-frequency rendering and performance optimization. You raise the technical bar across teams through architecture reviews, code reviews, reusable patterns, and mentorship of senior engineers. You identify and drive resolution of technical debt and systemic issues. You translate fluently between technical designs and business impact, partnering with Product to shape roadmaps and contributing to quarterly planning, high-level estimates, and trade-off discussions. You represent engineering in cross-functional leadership forums and may represent the company externally through conference talks, blog posts, or industry participation. Qualifications You have 8+ years of experience in frontend development, with a track record of owning technical direction in product-driven environments. You bring deep expertise in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, with extensive production experience in Angular (React or Vue are also welcome). Experience with WebGL/GPU technologies or libraries such as PixiJS, ThreeJS, or Babylon.js is a strong plus. You communicate fluently in English (C2) — it's our primary team and company language. You have strong architectural thinking: you design systems that balance technical excellence with pragmatic delivery, and you navigate ambiguous problems where even the full scope isn't initially clear. You understand business models, strategic priorities, and competitive positioning well enough to frame technical proposals in terms of business impact. You are confident leading across teams — influencing technical decisions through clear communication and earned trust, mentoring senior engineers, and aligning stakeholders with different priorities. You are experienced with modern development workflows, including Git-based version control, CI/CD pipelines, and AI-assisted development tools.
