[Hiring] Software Engineer @Veilant

Role Description

System High is looking for a Software Engineer specializing in frontend development to take ownership of the user-facing application layer of a new software product being built from the ground up. This is a true greenfield opportunity.

• Own the Frontend Application Layer:
  • Help design and build the frontend from the ground up, establishing scalable patterns for components, routing, state management, performance, accessibility, and maintainability.
• Build Production-Ready Experiences:
  • Translate product requirements and UI/UX concepts into responsive, intuitive, high-quality application features.
• Integrate with APIs:
  • Build reliable integrations between the frontend and backend services, confidently working with API contracts, data structures, payloads, application state, error handling, and asynchronous workflows.
• Shape Frontend Architecture:
  • Participate in technical decisions around frameworks, libraries, application structure, reusable components, testing strategies, and development standards.
• Work Across Engineering Boundaries:
  • Collaborate with backend development, AI/technical specialists, QA, and product leadership to solve problems that span multiple parts of the application.
• Build Efficient Development Workflows:
  • Work within GitHub, AWS/GIT-based workflows, and CI/CD pipelines to support reliable development, testing, integration, and deployment.
• Use AI to Increase Engineering Velocity:
  • Apply AI-assisted development tools to accelerate documentation, testing, debugging, code scaffolding, and repetitive engineering tasks while independently reviewing, validating, and improving generated output.
• Automate Where It Makes Sense:
  • Write lightweight scripts or utilities to eliminate repetitive tasks, manipulate data, support development environments, or improve engineering workflows.
• Deliver Iteratively:
  • Break complex requirements into manageable technical tasks and deliver working software through an Agile/Scrum development process.
• Contribute Beyond Your Code:
  • Participate in code reviews, technical discussions, sprint planning, estimation, and continuous improvement of the team's engineering practices.

Qualifications

• 3–5 years of professional software engineering experience, with meaningful hands-on experience building modern frontend applications.
• Strong proficiency in JavaScript and/or TypeScript and modern component-based frontend development.
• Professional experience with React or another modern frontend framework. React experience is preferred, but strong engineers coming from comparable frameworks will be considered.
• Experience designing and building reusable frontend components and responsive application interfaces.
• Hands-on experience integrating applications with RESTful APIs or comparable backend services.
• Experience using Git and GitHub in a collaborative software engineering environment.
• Working knowledge of CI/CD concepts and modern software development workflows.
• Strong understanding of software engineering fundamentals, including maintainability, testing, debugging, source control, and code review.
• Ability to work independently through ambiguous technical problems and clearly explain the reasoning behind your implementation decisions.
• Experience using AI-assisted software development tools for activities such as code generation, testing, documentation, debugging, or development acceleration—and the technical judgment to validate their output.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively in a remote engineering environment.

Requirements

• Experience helping build a new application, product, or significant feature from the ground up.
• Experience with React, Next.js, and TypeScript.
• Familiarity with GIT/AWS development workflows, CI/CD pipelines, or cloud-based application delivery.
• Experience working across frontend/backend boundaries or collaborating closely with backend engineering teams.
• Familiarity with scripting or automation using Node.js, Python, Bash, or similar technologies.
• Experience establishing frontend architecture, component libraries, design systems, or engineering standards.
• Experience with automated frontend or unit testing.
• Exposure to applications incorporating AI/LLM capabilities or other intelligent application services.
• Experience working in Agile/Scrum software development environments.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, vision, and prescription coverage options.
• Paid time off that grows with tenure, plus 11 paid holidays annually.
• A 401(k) retirement savings plan and financial planning guidance.
• Up to $5,250 annually in tuition assistance for approved coursework.
• Support for professional training and certifications.
• Company HSA contributions of $600 for individual coverage or $1,200 for family coverage, prorated.
• Company paid life insurance, plus short term and long term disability coverage.
