Senior Frontend Software Engineer Job Chicago Illinois USA,Software Development

As a frontend-focused Senior Software Engineer, you will own the design and delivery of the user-facing experiences at the heart of our AI products
Your primary focus is building polished, performant, production-grade interfaces in React and Type Script
You’ll also work in Go on the backend services and APIs that power those experiences, but that’s a secondary part of the role
This is a high-autonomy, high-leadership position: you’ll develop new features at scale, set the standard for how we build on the frontend, mentor the engineers around you, and use AI/agentic tooling (like Claude) to ship far faster than a traditional team would
The ideal candidate pairs exceptional frontend craft with the judgment to lead and the discipline to be relentlessly efficient with modern, AI-assisted workflows
Design, build, and own user-facing features in React and Type Script — polished, accessible, performant, and production-ready
Set the technical direction and quality bar for our frontend, and lift the people around you through mentorship and code review
Use AI and agentic development tools (such as Claude) fluently and effectively to move quickly, and help establish best practices for AI-assisted development across the team
Dip into Go to build and extend the backend services and APIs behind your features when needed
Collaborate closely with business stakeholders to architect and implement new experiences from inception to delivery
Contribute to product and technical roadmaps, and to the broader direction of the engineering team
Craft and maintain user-facing technical documentation that drives understanding and adoption of our products
Play a pivotal role in shaping our engineering culture and ensuring high standards across the organization
