[Hiring] Senior Front-End Developer @WLG

Role Description

We are looking for a Senior Frontend Developer to contribute on the design and implementation of advanced, interactive geospatial visualizations and vector time-series (trajectory) experiences in the maritime web platform.

• Own complex UI components built with React and WebGL.
• Deliver performant, reliable, and accessible interfaces that help users explore spatial-temporal maritime data at scale.
• Collaborate closely with product and UX to prototype, iterate, and validate user experiences before and during implementation.
• Partner with product, design, backend/data, DevSecOps, and QA to ship features end-to-end.
• Champion frontend engineering quality, performance, and secure-by-default practices within an Azure-hosted environment.

Qualifications

• React, TypeScript, and WebGL.
• Strong TypeScript and modern React.
• 5+ years building production React apps (hooks, context, performance optimization, code-splitting).
• 3+ years hands-on with WebGL or related frameworks (deck.gl, luma.gl, regl, three.js, Mapbox GL, Cesium).
• Proven experience visualizing geospatial data and trajectories.
• Familiarity with GeoJSON, vector tiles, and projected/geographical coordinate systems.
• Excellent communication skills in English and effective cross-functional collaboration.

Requirements

• Ensure cross-browser compatibility, accessibility (WCAG), responsive layouts, and robust error handling/session management.
• Work within a design-driven methodology: contribute to design sprints, build interactive prototypes, participate in usability reviews, and iterate from user feedback.
• Translate product/UX requirements (e.g., from Figma) into intuitive interactions and informative visualizations.
• Embed quality into delivery with unit/integration tests, visual regression, and performance budgets.
• Understanding of client-side security and OWASP risks (XSS, CSRF, injection) and secure implementation patterns.
• Deep understanding of rendering performance: GPU/CPU profiling, minimizing draw calls, buffer/attribute management, culling, LOD, and data streaming.
• Monitor and improve frontend performance (FPS, memory, bundle size, TTI) and instrument user journeys with observability tooling.
• Experience integrating with RESTful APIs (and/or GraphQL), auth flows, and streaming endpoints.
• Familiarity with CI/CD and quality gates in Azure DevOps (or equivalent).
• Excellent English proficiency (C1 or higher) for clear written and verbal communication, documentation, and cross-functional collaboration.
