Front End Developer

Summary

System High Corporation delivers advanced protection and secrecy solutions to secure and strengthen critical missions, programs, and intelligence activities. They are seeking a high-velocity, autonomous Front End Developer to join their remote engineering team, responsible for owning the frontend codebase and leveraging modern development tools to enhance productivity.

Responsibilities

• Own the frontend codebase end-to-end, managing framework routing, robust state management, build tooling, performance, and accessibility
• Translate design frameworks and functional requirements into polished, high-performance web applications with exceptional velocity
• Actively integrate AI development tools into your daily workflow to accelerate boilerplate creation, unit testing, and debugging, serving as an internal model for engineering efficiency
• Write utility scripts to automate repetitive UI tasks, data formatting, and local environment setups, reducing dependence on backend and DevOps teams
• Securely and efficiently interface with backend APIs, managing complex data structures and payload serialization with confidence
• Actively participate in all Scrum ceremonies (Sprint Planning, Daily Standups, Backlog Grooming, and Retrospectives), providing accurate effort estimations and technical insights
• Break down complex frontend feature requests into manageable, well-defined user stories and technical tasks that support consistent sprint velocity

Skills

• 3 to 5 years of professional software engineering experience dedicated to modern frontend frameworks
• Strong proficiency in React, Next.js, and TypeScript, with a deep understanding of component design patterns and responsive layouts
• Proven ability to step outside the UI sandbox—basic scripting capabilities (e.g., Node.js, Python, or Bash) to handle local dev environments, automate workflows, or parse data
• Demonstrated familiarity with AI-prompting and AI-assisted development tools for code generation, documentation, and troubleshooting, with the critical thinking skills to validate and optimize the output
• Excellent written communication and asynchronous collaboration skills, with a track record of driving initiatives forward independently
• Actively participate in all Scrum ceremonies (Sprint Planning, Daily Standups, Backlog Grooming, and Retrospectives), providing accurate effort estimations and technical insights
• Break down complex frontend feature requests into manageable, well-defined user stories and technical tasks that support consistent sprint velocity
• Experience working as a 'design engineer' or closely with design systems, capable of taking high-level UI briefs and executing them with minimal micro-management or reliance on hyper-detailed design files
• Familiarity with writing automation for CI/CD pipelines, build configurations, or testing scripts
• Exposure to or interest in interfacing apps with LLM endpoints, vector embeddings, or intelligent application layers
• Experience utilizing project management and issue-tracking tools (like Jira or Linear) to self-manage tasks, document technical implementation details, and maintain transparency across a distributed team
