Senior Engineer, Full-Stack, Frontend Focus - Forge Applications (R6231)

About the role

Responsibilities

• Design and build frontend experiences in TypeScript and React for autonomy development workflows such as simulation, synthetic data generation, and test and evaluation.
• Translate complex technical workflows into intuitive apps and workflows.
• Partner with Hivemind Pilot developers, Hivemind Solutions teams, product, and design to understand user needs and improve applications through feedback.
• Use Forge’s UI Platform to deliver consistent application experiences and drive improvements through collaborating on concrete requirements.
• Integrate domain APIs and services, building or extending backend capabilities as needed to complete application workflows.
• Design reusable application components and extension points that let other teams specialize workflows.

Requirements

• Experience delivering and supporting production web applications, with substantial ownership of frontend architecture and user experience.
• Strong proficiency with TypeScript and React, including component design, state management, asynchronous data handling, routing, auth, and web architecture.
• Ability to translate complex technical workflows into intuitive interfaces in collaboration with users, subject-matter experts, and designers.
• Experience building responsive, accessible interfaces and diagnosing frontend performance issues with profiling.
• Experience integrating APIs and handling loading states, errors, long-running operations, and evolving service contracts.
• Ability to work across the stack, including reading, debugging, and extending backend services in Go, Python, or a comparable language.
• Experience testing UI components, application behavior, and complete user workflows.
• Sound judgment about when to use shared platform capabilities, contribute reusable improvements, or keep a solution specific to an application.
• Clear communication skills and the ability to collaborate across product, design, platform, and domain teams.
• Developer tools or technical applications for simulation, experimentation, test and evaluation, or deployment.
• Complex interactive interfaces such as scientific visualizations, workflow editors, large data tables, or live telemetry displays.
• Frontend performance optimization for large datasets, frequent updates, or computationally intensive views.
• Applications built on extensible platforms, including plugin systems, micro-frontends, Web Components, or VS Code extensions.
• Schema-driven API development using OpenAPI, JSON Schema, Protocol Buffers, or generated clients.
• Service and device integration using REST, gRPC, WebSockets, MQTT, DDS, MAVLink, or patterns such as pub/sub messaging and streaming telemetry.
• AI-assisted application workflows and agent-tool integrations using protocols such as Model Context Protocol.
• Familiarity with robotics, autonomy, simulation, or embedded systems, particularly integrating with underlying services, platforms, or devices.
