## About the Role

* Experience building production-grade frontend applications with complex workflows, rich interactions, and data-heavy user interfaces.
 * Deep expertise in modern frontend development, including TypeScript, React, state management patterns, Storybook, and Playwright.
 * Experience designing performant interfaces for large datasets, including filtering, search, virtualization, caching, progressive loading, and responsive interactions.
 * Proven ability to improve frontend performance and stability in production systems by diagnosing bottlenecks, reducing latency, preventing regressions, and improving reliability.
 * Ability to work directly with internal users or customers, understand their workflows, and deliver software that improves operational efficiency and data-driven decision making.
 * Strong user-centered product judgment, with the ability to turn ambiguous technical requirements into clear, usable, and scalable experiences.
 * Experience collaborating with backend teams on API design, query patterns, realtime updates, and data contracts.
 * Working knowledge of backend systems, databases, or cloud data stores sufficient to reason about frontend performance and data access tradeoffs.
 * Senior-level engineering judgment: you make pragmatic architectural decisions, write maintainable code, and help teams move quickly without sacrificing quality.

## Description

* Build data triage, exploration, and visualization interfaces that help users filter, analyze, and investigate millions of records.
 * Develop frontend tools for Zipline's data pipelines, helping engineering teams perform high-quality analysis and solve critical autonomy problems.
 * Own frontend architecture for data-heavy applications, including component design, state management, rendering performance, testing, and maintainability.
 * Translate complex technical workflows into intuitive, reliable, and performant user experiences for internal engineering and operations teams.
 * Collaborate with backend, data, and autonomy engineers to shape API contracts, data models, and product workflows that support efficient investigation at scale.
 * Improve frontend quality through reusable design patterns, Storybook coverage, Playwright tests, accessibility, performance, and stability work.
 * Mentor engineers and raise the bar for frontend implementation, product thinking, and maintainable UI architecture.
