Role: Senior Frontend Engineer (UI/UX + AI-Assisted Development)

Industry: HR Tech / Enterprise SaaS

Salary: $150K–$180K + annual profit sharing

Full-time, Permanent Role

What They Do:

Our client is a profitable, 20+ year-old SaaS company entering a major modernization phase. They are rebuilding their entire platform, migrating from a legacy front end to a fully redesigned, component-driven UI powered by a new design system, modern JavaScript frameworks, and AI-assisted development workflows. With major customers ready to adopt upcoming features, they are effectively operating in “startup mode” with the stability of an established business.

The Role:

They are hiring their first dedicated frontend engineer to own the rebuild of the company’s UI/UX from the ground up. You’ll implement a newly completed design system (delivered in Figma), work closely with engineering leadership to define architecture and patterns, and leverage AI tools that generate ~80% of the baseline React code. Your job is to guide them, correct them, and establish frontend excellence that the team can scale on for years.

You’ll be responsible for:

1. Building the new UI from completed Figma files using React + TypeScript
2. Defining the frontend architecture, component patterns, file structure, and naming conventions
3. Partnering with backend engineers to design clean, reusable API contracts
4. Using AI-assisted tools for code generation, paired programming, & workflow acceleration
5. Ensuring the generated code is correct, maintainable, and does not “hallucinate.”
6. Contributing UX insight and helping unify the look and feel across multiple product areas
7. Supporting long-term modernization: current front-end to next-gen system to backend rebuild (2027)

About You:

1. 6+ years of professional frontend experience (senior-level)
2. Strong experience in modern JavaScript/TypeScript and component-based frameworks (React)
3. Proven ability to translate UI/UX designs into clean, scalable production code
4. A strong opinionated sense of architecture, structure, readability, and long-term maintainability
5. Experience working with design systems and Figma files
6. Ability to explain state management trade-offs, architectural decisions, and API contract design
7. Interest or experience in AI-assisted development tools (Copilot, GPT-based codegen, etc.)
8. High ownership, energy, and willingness to operate in a fast-moving, startup-like environment

Compensation & Perks:

1. $150K–$180K base salary
2. Annual profit sharing
3. Full medical, dental, and vision coverage
4. PTO, paid holidays, and flexible remote work
5. Additional stretch-goal bonus opportunities aligned with company OKRs
6. Remote-friendly; monthly in-office optional meetup (Austin area)
