You’ll join Trust Flight as a Software Engineer (React & TypeScript) on the Smart Doc team, reporting to the Tech Lead. Smart Doc is Trust Flight’s AI-powered document authoring platform used by aviation professionals to create, edit, and manage safety- and compliance-critical operational documentation.

This is a frontend-focused, full-stack role. You’ll primarily build high-quality, intuitive user interfaces using React and TypeScript, while collaborating closely with backend engineers on APIs and data flows to deliver robust, end-to-end document authoring experiences.

• Build modern, responsive user interfaces using React, TypeScript, Zustand, and Vite, with clear component boundaries and performance-focused design for document authoring workflows.

• Design and maintain modular frontend architectures, including state management solutions for complex document editing states (e.g. persistence, async flows).

• Establish and evolve scalable folder structures, shared component libraries, and reusable patterns.

• Integrate frontend features with backend services via REST APIs (Node/Nest.js), implementing predictable data flows, error handling, and state lifecycles.

• Collaborate closely with backend engineers to refine API contracts, validation rules, and response structures with reliability and security in mind.

• Implement automated testing using Jest and React Testing Library, and contribute to E2E test coverage (e.g. Cypress) to protect critical user workflows and document integrity.

• Drive frontend performance improvements through code splitting, lazy loading, bundle analysis, and render-time profiling.

• Maintain and expand Storybook for component documentation, isolation, and testing.

• Apply modern AI tooling and best practices to document authoring workflows, identifying and implementing use cases that improve user experience, accuracy, and productivity.

• Participate in system and feature design discussions with a frontend-first perspective, and contribute to sprint planning and cross-functional alignment with Product, Design, and QA.

• Conduct code reviews and contribute to shared engineering standards, delivering clean, well-documented, production-ready code.

• 3–5 years of professional experience building web applications, with a frontend focus

• Strong experience with React and TypeScript, including building complex, stateful user interfaces

• Hands-on experience with frontend state management (e.g. Zustand, Redux, or similar) in non-trivial applications

• Ability to design maintainable, modular frontend code, including reusable components and clear application structure

• Experience integrating frontend applications with REST APIs, and collaborating effectively with backend engineers

• Experience writing automated tests using Jest and React Testing Library, and contributing to E2E tests (e.g. Cypress) for critical workflows

• Practical understanding of frontend performance considerations (e.g. rendering behaviour, code splitting, lazy loading)

• Curiosity and…
