Job description

You will build the primary user interface for a SaaS security platform-the layer that application teams, security architects, and business stakeholders interact with daily. This is not a pure UX design role or a generic frontend position. You are a hands-on engineer who can move quickly, integrate directly with FastAPI services, and apply practical UX thinking ( 25%) to make complex security data intuitive and actionable. If users don't trust or actively use the UI, the platform cannot scale-your work is critical to adoption. Core Responsibilities

UI & Frontend Development (~75%)

Design and build the core application UI used by:

  • SaaS application owners
  • Security architects
  • Risk and oversight teams

Develop features such as:

  • SaaS application inventory views
  • Control adherence status (PASS / FAIL / INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE)
  • Drill-down flows from findings to supporting evidence
  • Change or drift tracking ("what changed since last run")

Build clean, scalable, and maintainable UI components that can evolve into a full product experience.

Backend Coordination (FastAPI Focus)

  • Work closely with FastAPI-based backend services
  • Define and consume:
  • REST and async APIs
  • Graph-based or aggregated endpoints
  • Partner with integration engineers to shape UI-friendly data contracts
  • Occasionally build lightweight FastAPI endpoints to support UI functionality

You are not expected to own backend systems but should be comfortable working across the stack to avoid bottlenecks.

UX & Usability (~25%)

Apply practical UX principles to:

  • Reduce cognitive load for complex, security-heavy data
  • Make control failures understandable without deep security expertise

Collaborate with security and engineering teams to:

  • Clearly communicate findings
  • Avoid ambiguous or overly alarmist messaging

Design simple, effective workflows that answer:

  • What failed?
  • Why did it fail?
  • What happens next?

Requirements

  1. 7+ years of experience with React and TypeScript
  2. Data visualization experience (tool flexible; preference to avoid Power BI)
  3. Experience with GraphQL
  4. Experience building analytical drill-down dashboards or large-scale tools
  5. Strong experience developing high-performance web applications handling large datasets, Frontend Engineering
  • 6+ years building production web applications
  • Strong expertise in:
  • React (or similar frameworks)
  • TypeScript / JavaScript
  • State management for data-intensive applications
  • Comfortable working in fast-paced environments with iterative development

Backend Fluency

  • Hands-on experience with FastAPI
  • Experience working with:
  • Async APIs
  • JSON schema-based services
  • Ability to independently troubleshoot frontend-backend integration issues

UX & Collaboration

  • Proven ability to simplify complex technical data
  • Experience building internal platforms or enterprise tools
  • Strong collaboration with engineers, security teams, and stakeholders

Employee Value Proposition

  • Opportunity to contribute to a large-scale initiative
  • Potential for contract extension or conversion
  • High-impact role shaping a core product experience
