# Frontend Engineer

> Code Metal · United States (Remote) · — · Posted 2026-01-21

**Workplace:** remote

## Description

**Role:** Senior Front-End Engineer  
**Location/Time zones:** US-based (East Coast preferred; Mountain works).  
**Work setup:** Remote (collaborative, fast-moving team).  
**Mission:** Build and ship a dynamic, geospatial web application used in a mission-critical environment.

### What you’ll do

-   Own and ship front-end features end-to-end in a TypeScript/React codebase.
-   Build interactive geospatial UI workflows (Cesium-based) and surrounding app UX.
-   Translate ambiguous requirements into working increments: break down tasks, identify dependencies, prioritize, and execute.
-   Improve UI performance and reliability in a data-heavy, dynamic application (not a static marketing site).
-   Collaborate closely with backend engineers to define contracts, unblock yourself, and move work forward without heavy hand-holding.
-   Contribute to front-end standards: code quality, component patterns, testing strategy, and release hygiene.

### What we’re looking for

-   5+ years building production React applications (TypeScript strongly preferred).
-   Strong “get-things-done” engineering instincts: you can take a task and drive it to completion in a small team.
-   Experience working on complex, interactive UIs (state management, async flows, performance considerations).
-   Familiarity with component libraries and design systems (we’re using **MUI / Material UI**).
-   Solid debugging and problem-solving skills—able to unblock yourself rather than waiting on others.
-   Comfortable collaborating in a shared codebase with standards and best practices.

### Nice-to-haves

-   Geospatial/GIS experience (Cesium, map-heavy UIs, geo data interactions).
-   Some backend familiarity (enough to understand APIs, debug issues, and collaborate smoothly).
-   Python experience as a plus (helps when working cross-stack with our environment).
-   Experience supporting simulation-style or real-time-ish workflows (gaming, visualization, mapping, flight/vehicle systems, etc.).
