Senior Front End Software Engineer - Contract

Your Mission

We're building a modern, data-driven technology platform from the ground up and are looking for a Senior Front End Software Engineer who wants real ownership, real impact, and the chance to shape a product, not just tickets. This role is based in Dallas, TX, working alongside a small, driven team tackling complex problems with clean, scalable solutions.

You'll be hands-on building intuitive, high-performance interfaces using JavaScript, TypeScript, and React, with meaningful influence over frontend architecture and user experience. Experience in Fintech, Financial Services, or Real Assets (Oil & Gas, Real Estate, etc.) is a plus, but curiosity and execution matter more than domain pedigree.

Key Responsibilities- What You'll Own

• Build production-grade frontend applications. Develop and evolve high-performance interfaces using JavaScript, TypeScript, and React - code that ships, scales, and holds up under real use.
• Own features end-to-end. Take ideas from early design discussions all the way through production release - you're not just implementing specs, you're shaping them.
• Bridge design and engineering. Partner closely with backend engineers and UX/UI designers to deliver experiences that are fast, intuitive, and reliable - where the seams don't show.
• Turn wireframes into elegant code. Translate product ideas and designs into clean, maintainable implementations that the team can build on for years.
• Connect the frontend to the data layer. Integrate applications with APIs, services, and data pipelines - making complex backend systems feel effortless to the people using them.
• Influence how we build. Shape frontend architecture, tooling, and best practices as the platform grows - your voice carries weight here.
• Push the craft forward. Stay on top of modern frontend trends and bring improvements that actually move the needle - not chasing hype, but raising the bar.
• Bring spatial thinking. Experience with geospatial data, spatial modeling, or data visualization is a meaningful plus - we work across real assets where location and data intersect constantly.

Qualifications- What You Bring

• 5+ years of serious frontend experience. You've built modern, production-grade applications, not prototypes, and you have the instincts to prove it.
• Deep fluency in JavaScript, TypeScript, and React. These aren't tools you've dabbled in, they're how you think.
• A strong product mindset. You care about why you're building something, not just how. You ask questions before you write code.
• Comfort with ambiguity and speed. You can move fast without sacrificing quality, and you know the difference between cutting corners and cutting scope.
• Sharp problem-solving instincts. You have a bias toward action, a structured approach to hard problems, and the judgment to know when to pause.
• High standards across the board. Performance, usability, and clean code aren't trade-offs for you - they're the baseline.
• A collaborative, low-ego approach. You communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical partners, give honest feedback, and make the people around you better.
• Real ownership and accountability. You take responsibility for what you ship - and you care about the quality and integrity of your work.
