Frontend Software Engineer, Vehicle Test Data Platforms

You will join the application’s tech lead on a small, high-leverage team. The role leans frontend (roughly 70% of the work), but it is genuinely full-stack - you will be expected to work confidently across the backend whenever a feature calls for it. You will work directly alongside vehicle engineers, translating their deep domain expertise into durable, well-designed software. What You’ll Do

• Build features end-to-end, from modeling data and designing APIs on the backend to building the forms, views, and flows on the frontend. Established patterns mean you can be productive quickly
• Extend our shared internal libraries that encode our engineering patterns, growing them thoughtfully as the application scales and applying them consistently across feature work
• Institutionalize domain expertise by collaborating closely with vehicle engineers to translate their knowledge into durable, well-modeled software
• Own quality across the stack, from schema design and query performance to component architecture and state management on the frontend

• Strong React and TypeScript fundamentals, including production experience with Next.js
• A track record of writing robust, maintainable frontend code in a production codebase
• Experience building data-dense interfaces (complex forms, tables, or visualization)
• Experience designing or maintaining a design system, component library, or shared frontend code that other engineers used
• Experience with TanStack Query or an equivalent modern data-fetching library
• Experience with the Next.js App Router
• Familiarity with data adhering to the SAE J211 standard is a plus
