Senior Front-End Software Engineer (Contractor)

Job Title: Senior Front-End Software Engineer (React/TypeScript) Location: Onshore – U.S.-based (Remote, with one-time travel) Employment Type: Contract (6 months)

We are supporting a high-tech client in the software industry with the potential need for 4–5 U.S.-based Senior Front-End Engineers. These engineers will work within client pods focused on building intelligent customer service agent tools. The work is highly autonomous and requires strong communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.

This is an onshore-only opportunity—engineers must be authorized to work in the U.S. (Citizen, Green Card, or valid work visa). Preference will be given to candidates in U.S. time zones for optimal collaboration.

• Develop and maintain front-end components using React, TypeScript, and JSX
• Work closely with client teams within product pods to design and deliver scalable agent-facing tools
• Independently manage and drive workstreams from planning to production
• Collaborate across teams to unblock issues, troubleshoot problems, and ensure timely delivery
• Contribute to technical discussions, peer reviews, and agile ceremonies
• Maintain a high level of code quality and performance

• 5+ years of experience in front-end software development
• Deep expertise in React, TypeScript, and JSX
• Strong understanding of component design, state management, and modern front-end architecture
• Experience integrating with REST APIs and using version control (e.g., Git)
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills—comfortable working in distributed, agile environments
• Strong self-management, accountability, and execution skills

• Exposure to prompt engineering or working with LLMs (a plus, but not required)
• Experience in customer service tools or enterprise SaaS environments

• Work Authorization: Must be U.S. work authorized
• Time Zone: Preference for candidates in U.S. time zones
• Travel: One-week onsite bootcamp at the client’s San Francisco HQ (travel costs covered separately)
• Rate: No fixed budget; please propose market-competitive rates based on experience

• It defines the architecture, component model, lifecycle, and state management for the project.
• Senior engineers are expected to already be highly fluent in React.

🔧 TypeScript – Strongly Preferred to Must Have

• TypeScript is often a project-wide standard in modern enterprise front-end development.
• It’s tightly integrated into most React codebases today for type safety and better tooling.
• You could be slightly flexible if someone is a React expert and has strong JavaScript fundamentals—but ideally they should be at least TypeScript-proficient.

• JSX is the templating syntax used with React, so if someone knows React, they’ll automatically be familiar with JSX.
• It’s not something you would test for separately.
