Senior Frontend Engineer (React/TypeScript) with AI Tools

Our client application is written in React and TypeScript. Our API services are built with Elixir, Ash, and PostgreSQL following the JSON API specification. Our services are designed for a serverless architecture that’s built with Terraform and runs in AWS. On our engineering team, you'll be involved in the entire product development process as an equal thought partner from ideation to production. At Albert, deadlines and scope are driven by the engineering team, not by people detached from the technical challenges. We take time to pay off technical debt, test, and plan long-term architectural improvements alongside new features. Our team actively integrates AI tools like GitHub Copilot and Claude Code into our development workflow. We see AI as a force multiplier for experienced engineers, not a replacement for strong fundamentals. The engineers who thrive here use AI to move faster while applying the judgment and attention to detail that only comes from deep technical experience. Most importantly, you'll see how rewarding it is to release features to tens of thousands of teachers who rely on Albert for their day-to-day instruction!

THE ROLE

As a Senior Frontend Software Engineer, you will work with React, TypeScript, and Tailwind to create accessible, interactive, and responsive interfaces that help people accelerate their learning. You’ll contribute to the team by writing performant, testable, and maintainable code to support Albert's roadmap. Take ownership of features and engineering initiatives from end-to-end by going through design, implementation, test, and maintenance cycles. Review code with care and thoroughness, catching issues that others might miss and helping teammates grow. Lead architectural and design discussions, shaping technical direction for the frontend. Collaborate with other engineers and the Product team to define project goals and establish milestones. Help define and refine how the team uses AI tooling effectively, establishing patterns and best practices for AI-assisted development. Identify opportunities to improve existing code, architecture, and developer tooling. Embody our core values and uphold our unique company culture. Our engineering team encourages members to pursue full-stack contributions and expand their skill set. While it is not required or expected for a frontend or backend engineer to work full‑stack, some do and we provide mentoring and support to this end.
