Senior Front-End Engineer

Senior Frontend Software Engineer

You thrive at the intersection of clean UI execution and real-world impact. As a Senior Frontend Software Engineer, you craft self-contained, reusable, task-focused components, and approach UI development with a balance of speed, quality, and empathy for the end user. While your focus is on the front end, your grasp of the entire stack is strong enough to contribute ideas, spot architectural tradeoffs, and help shape how our Navigator platform is designed end to end. You care deeply about Developer Experience, have a strong command of RESTful APIs and testing frameworks, and bring a strong sense of agency to improving code, tooling, and documentation.

• Ensure our Navigator app provides a consistent, reliable experience on both Desktop and iPad
• Collaborate and align with cross-functional teammates
• Work closely with product, design, and backend engineering teams on rapid feature buildouts
• Consistently seek balance between shipping UX feature within scope while aiming for "pixel-perfect" mockup renditions

What We're Looking For

• Familiarity with request codes
• API request testing experience with tools such as Postman or Insomnia
• Troubleshoot CORS issues
• Great communicator
• Ability to reach across discipline boundaries to help troubleshoot and test newly added API endpoints

• Familiarity with legacy systems and working with public sector customers
• Comfortable setting up CI/CD pipelines and DevOps workflows
• Contributions to open-source projects

Mission and Identity

We are building the system that enables faster, smarter logistics decisions in contested environments, and we're doing it with a team of seasoned entrepreneurs, operators, and technologists who have built and scaled solutions in this space before. We hold ourselves to an extremely high standard. We value clear thinking, direct communication, and the kind of ownership that doesn't stop until something actually works.

Our mission is to create decision advantage when the stakes are the highest. If we succeed, the system doesn't just run; it gets smarter. We're not building AI for its own sake. We're building it because faster, smarter decisions in the most demanding environments on earth can't wait. If you want to work somewhere the stakes are real and the mission is urgent — you'll fit in here.

Why Gallatin?
