Higher Logic is looking for a Senior Front-End Software Engineer who excels at the intersection of product craftsmanship, performance, and modern developer workflows, including AI-assisted development. You will build and evolve scalable, rich user experiences used by millions of community members worldwide. While primarily front-end focused, you'll also partner across the stack to deliver end-to-end features.

What You'll Do

Build, maintain, and ship high-quality product features in a multidisciplinary Agile team.
Translate designs, wireframes, and product requirements into accessible, performant React experiences.
Own UI architecture decisions around component design, state management, data fetching patterns, and maintainable abstractions.
Write reliable, well-tested code, participate in code review, and mentor teammates through feedback and shared patterns.
Triage, debug, and resolve issues across browsers and devices.
Optimize for real-world performance at scale, focusing on rendering efficiency, Core Web Vitals, bundle size, and caching strategies.
Contribute to guild practices by proposing improvements to coding standards, tooling, documentation, and architecture.
Use AI-powered IDEs and assistants to speed up implementation, refactoring, and test generation while ensuring correctness, security, and maintainability.
Apply AI thoughtfully by creating strong prompts, verifying outputs, and incorporating guardrails like linting, type checks, and tests.
Partner on AI-enabled product initiatives, integrating front-end UX with backend services and APIs.
Help define best practices for AI-assisted engineering, including what to automate and what must be human-reviewed.

What We're Looking For

A strong understanding of Agile values and principles.
Strong proficiency in modern JavaScript (ES6+), DOM fundamentals, and the JavaScript object model.
Deep knowledge of React and its core principles like composition, hooks, rendering lifecycle, and performance patterns.
Solid grasp of asynchronous UI state and data flows, including promises, async/await, and request lifecycles.
Experience integrating with RESTful APIs.
Familiarity with modern authorization mechanisms like JWT-based flows.
Experience with common front-end tooling such as Vite/Webpack, Babel, and npm/yarn/pnpm.
Comfort with Git-based workflows, including branching, PRs, reviews, and CI checks.
Practical experience using AI coding tools like Cursor in day-to-day development, including validating generated code and avoiding insecure patterns.

Nice to Have

4+ years building production web applications with React or another major JavaScript framework.
1+ years of TypeScript experience or a strong interest and demonstrated ability to adopt it quickly.
Experience working in modular or pluggable architectures like themes, extensions, plugins, or component systems.
Strong HTML, CSS, and SCSS fundamentals and experience implementing responsive UI.
Familiarity with accessibility standards (WCAG/ARIA) and building inclusive interfaces.
Experience with testing practices and tools (unit/integration/E2E) and building confidence through automation.
Strong product instincts: you sweat details, communicate tradeoffs, and care about user outcomes.
