Senior Software Engineer – Frontend
CaseGuardArlington, Virginia, United States · Posted 4 months agoDescription
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our frontend team and play a critical role in building the platform that will define CaseGuard’s next chapter.
You will design and build a highly performant, sophisticated frontend capable of handling complex media redaction directly in the browser. This role involves more than just building forms; you will be responsible for the architecture that supports real-time collaboration, complex document rendering, and high-stakes video manipulation.
This role is expected to operate with a high degree of ownership. You will take responsibility for major frontend features and drive them end-to-end from design through production with minimal oversight. Beyond writing excellent code, you will contribute to engineering standards, influence frontend architecture, and help scale both the system and the team.
What You Will Do
- Build scalable, maintainable frontend applications using Next.js, React, and TypeScript.
- Implement advanced rendering and manipulation logic for PDF documents and video within the browser.
- Utilize WebGL and Canvas to ensure smooth, performant interactions for redaction tools.
- Build and maintain real-time features using WebSockets and SignalR to support concurrent multi-user workflows.
- Work closely with backend engineers to consume REST APIs, defining contracts that ensure efficient data flow and optimal UX.
- Manage frontend deployments on AWS and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines to ensure rapid, reliable delivery.
- Identify and resolve frontend bottlenecks (rendering lag, memory leaks, bundle size) to ensure a seamless user experience under heavy load.
Ownership & Execution
- Turn ambiguous product requirements into well-defined technical tasks and execution plans.
- Take full ownership of major frontend domains, driving them from initial design through to production deployment.
- Make independent technical decisions regarding frontend state management, component architecture, and styling patterns.
- Drive frontend decisions in cross-functional work, ensuring the system design is robust and provides the best possible user experience.
- Be accountable for the reliability, performance, and accessibility of the features you ship.
Team Contribution
- Conduct thorough code reviews and uphold high engineering standards for the frontend guild.
- Participate in architectural discussions and contribute to long-term frontend roadmap decisions.
- Mentor junior and mid-level engineers to support their technical growth.
- Contribute to hiring by reviewing technical assessments and interviewing prospective candidates.
Qualifications (Required)
- 6+ years of experience owning and delivering complex frontend applications or major features end-to-end.
- Strong proficiency in React, Next.js, and TypeScript.
- Deep understanding of modern frontend architecture, state management, and hooks.
- Solid experience working with REST APIs and real-time communication via WebSockets or SignalR.
- Practical experience working with WebGL, HTML5 Canvas, or complex browser-based document/video manipulation.
- Professional experience with Git, CI/CD pipelines, and AWS deployment strategies.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively across a hybrid team.
Qualifications (Preferred)
- Experience building heavy, data-intensive web applications (e.g., editors, design tools, or analytical Dashboards).
- Knowledge of frontend security best practices (CSPRNG, XSS prevention, secure storage).
- Experience with AWS services relevant to frontend/custom Next.js hosting (CloudFront, S3, ECS).
- Familiarity with Tailwind CSS or advanced CSS-in-JS libraries.
What We Offer:
- Meaningful equity - we believe in sharing ownership with the people who build the company
- Competitive base salary alongside an equity-heavy compensation package
- Hybrid working - flexibility to work remotely with regular in-person collaboration
- Direct influence over architecture, engineering culture, and the technical roadmap
- Opportunity to take ownership of critical backend domains in a growing cloud platform
- A small, high-trust team that moves fast, values craftsmanship, and ships quality software
- Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
- 401K
- Paid Vacation
- Ten paid holidays per year
- Friendly and Learning environment
Salary+ Equity Range: $120,000 to $200,000
