Magnet Forensics is looking for a seasoned Staff Software Engineer who thrives on technical depth and broad influence. In this hands-on technical leadership role, you will help shape the foundation of how all SaaS products are built, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and guide engineering teams toward better patterns and practices.
Responsibilities:
- You’ll help shape the foundation of how all our SaaS products are built and experienced
- You’ll collaborate with Senior Engineers, Product Managers, and UX Designers to create a cohesive frontend platform that unites multiple SaaS products into a single, scalable application
- You’ll lead by example, designing reusable UI frameworks, modernizing legacy codebases, and guiding engineering teams toward better patterns, tooling, and practices
Requirements:
- 8+ years of professional frontend development experience, including deep expertise in one or more major frameworks (e.g. React, Vue) and modern JavaScript/TypeScript
- 4+ years of experience shipping pragmatic SaaS solutions to production (AWS, Azure, or GCP), balancing technical vision with delivery
- Excellent mentorship and leadership skills, with the ability to guide and challenge senior developers
- Clear and confident communication: you can explain tradeoffs, document patterns, and build trust across Engineering, Product, and UX
- Comfortable leading by example: rolling up your sleeves to prototype ideas and prove out new patterns, then scaling those patterns widely through evangelism and mentorship
- Bachelor's degree in a Computer Science related field, or equivalent practical experience
- Strong experience designing and implementing extensible frontend architectures (e.g., modular React apps, micro frontends, or plugin systems)
- Experience with the rest of our frontend stack (e.g. MUI, Vite[st], Tanstack, Emotion) and beyond (e.g. AWS, Docker, Grafana, AzDO)
- Experience improving frontend DX through better tooling, faster local dev loops, observability, feature flagging, CI/CD pipelines, etc
- Familiarity with design systems, accessibility, and internationalization best practices
- Exposure to domain-driven design concepts and how they apply to frontend modularization
- Understanding of AI systems, including LLM architectures, token generation, and MCP frameworks
- Enthusiasm for using agentic AI and other modern practices as a key part of the SDLC (!!!)
