Senior Software Engineer, Frontend
About The Position
The Problem Search is one of the most critical tools at Flock, serving as the daily interface our customers depend on to follow leads, identify vehicles, and resolve cases faster. As our user base scales and product requirements evolve, delivering an intuitive, performant search interface requires deep frontend technical leadership and seamless fullstack context. You will champion our frontend web architecture, optimize high-traffic search experiences, and partner cross-functionally across a React, TypeScript, and Node stack. What You'll Own Lead the architectural evolution and frontend execution for core Search features across a React, TypeScript, and Node web stack. Partner closely with product, design, and backend engineering peers to translate user research and design mocks into performant user experiences. Build complex map-based data visualizations and geospatial interfaces to help users navigate high-density location data effortlessly. Champion frontend engineering standards, conduct thorough code reviews, and elevate technical execution across the Search engineering team. Monitor and optimize client-side performance, state management, and data retrieval for high-traffic, data-heavy web applications. What This Role is Not This isn't a backend-heavy or infrastructure-focused engineering role, your day-to-day focus centers primarily on frontend architecture and web user experiences. This is not a purely visual design or prototyping job, you will write production-grade code, maintain web services, and ship features directly into production. This isn't an isolated contribution role, you will participate in customer calls, actively engage in team retro items, and mentor peers through code reviews.
Requirements
- Mastery of modern frontend web technologies, application design patterns, and user interface development using React and TypeScript.
- Experience building map-based data visualizations using mapping libraries such as Mapbox or the Google Maps API.
- Fullstack working context with Node.js web services and modern API design concepts like REST, GraphQL, or gRPC.
- Practical understanding of backend microservice interaction patterns and relational databases like PostgreSQL to collaborate effectively with backend peers.
- Resourceful problem-solving skills in ambiguous technical environments with a track record of continuous learning.
Nice To Haves
- Familiarity with AWS managed services or frontend performance optimization for high-traffic applications is a plus.
