Software Engineer (Front End)

System High, a wholly owned subsidiary of Veilant, is hiring a frontend-focused Software Engineer to build a new software product from the ground up. The role will establish frontend architecture and development standards, deliver production-ready application features, integrate APIs, and collaborate across engineering, QA, and product teams.

Responsibilities:

• Own the Frontend Application Layer: Help design and build the frontend from the ground up, establishing scalable patterns for components, routing, state management, performance, accessibility, and maintainability
• Build Production-Ready Experiences: Translate product requirements and UI/UX concepts into responsive, intuitive, high-quality application features
• Integrate with APIs: Build reliable integrations between the frontend and backend services, confidently working with API contracts, data structures, payloads, application state, error handling, and asynchronous workflows
• Shape Frontend Architecture: Participate in technical decisions around frameworks, libraries, application structure, reusable components, testing strategies, and development standards
• Work Across Engineering Boundaries: Collaborate with backend development, AI/technical specialists, QA, and product leadership to solve problems that span multiple parts of the application
• Build Efficient Development Workflows: Work within GitHub, AWS/GIT-based workflows, and CI/CD pipelines to support reliable development, testing, integration, and deployment
• Use AI to Increase Engineering Velocity: Apply AI-assisted development tools to accelerate documentation, testing, debugging, code scaffolding, and repetitive engineering tasks while independently reviewing, validating, and improving generated output
• Automate Where It Makes Sense: Write lightweight scripts or utilities to eliminate repetitive tasks, manipulate data, support development environments, or improve engineering workflows
• Deliver Iteratively: Break complex requirements into manageable technical tasks and deliver working software through an Agile/Scrum development process
• Contribute Beyond Your Code: Participate in code reviews, technical discussions, sprint planning, estimation, and continuous improvement of the team's engineering practices

Requirements:

• 3–5 years of professional software engineering experience, with meaningful hands-on experience building modern frontend applications
• Strong proficiency in JavaScript and/or TypeScript and modern component-based frontend development
• Experience designing and building reusable frontend components and responsive application interfaces
• Hands-on experience integrating applications with RESTful APIs or comparable backend services
• Experience using Git and GitHub in a collaborative software engineering environment
• Working knowledge of CI/CD concepts and modern software development workflows
• Strong understanding of software engineering fundamentals, including maintainability, testing, debugging, source control, and code review
• Ability to work independently through ambiguous technical problems and clearly explain the reasoning behind your implementation decisions
• Experience using AI-assisted software development tools for activities such as code generation, testing, documentation, debugging, or development acceleration—and the technical judgment to validate their output
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively in a remote engineering environment
• React experience is preferred
• Experience with React or another modern frontend framework
• Experience helping build a new application, product, or significant feature from the ground up
• Experience with React, Next.js, and TypeScript
• Familiarity with GIT/AWS development workflows, CI/CD pipelines, or cloud-based application delivery
• Experience working across frontend/backend boundaries or collaborating closely with backend engineering teams
• Familiarity with scripting or automation using Node.js, Python, Bash, or similar technologies
• Experience establishing frontend architecture, component libraries, design systems, or engineering standards
• Experience with automated frontend or unit testing
• Exposure to applications incorporating AI/LLM capabilities or other intelligent application services
• Experience working in Agile/Scrum software development environments
