The role:
At Mach9, Frontend Engineers build the connective tissue of our product: the surfaces that turn our powerful CAD engine into a whole product that civil engineers and surveyors can live in every day. You’ll partner with our design and product teams to shape how users bring in massive datasets, organize thousands of files, and run their teams. You’ll craft the experience that makes serious technical tooling feel effortless.
This role is perfect for frontend engineers with strong design instincts who love building reusable UI components, and who care about the small details that can make complex software feel responsive and simple.
You'll set the bar for quality across a fast-growing surface area, from our onboarding flow to our drive page to the component library behind our editor. You’ll build the foundation to let every other team ship faster as we transform how the world designs critical infrastructure.
Where you will make an impact:
• Own our drive and project user experience: file organization and hierarchies, permissions and sharing, usage dashboards, and searching across thousands of files
• Build the onboarding, account, settings, billing, and team-management surfaces that keep our customer organizations running
• Build the ingest flows that get geospatial data into Mach9’s product
• Create the notification system and collaboration surfaces that let teams work together
• Develop and maintain the UI component library behind our editor, raising quality and consistency even as our surface area grows
• Translate designs into pixel-accurate React UIs in close partnership with our designers, so that we can keep our data-dense interfaces fast under real-world load
What you bring:
• 3+ years building production-grade web applications
• Strong proficiency in React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind
• Experience building and maintaining a design system or a shared component library
• A strong eye for detail and visual clarity
• A product mindset and comfort working in a fast-moving, collaborative environment
Bonus experience:
• Org or file-management UIs (hierarchies, permissions, large lists)
• Prior work on design tools or other creative/editing software
• Experience with Storybook
• Experience building LLM-powered or agentic interfaces

Mach9 is hiring a Software Engineer - Frontend
About company
Mach9 was founded in 2021 by four researchers at the Carnegie Mellon University Robotics Institute to accelerate how teams model and understand the world.
Working alongside surveyors, we saw opportunities to streamline repetitive feature-extraction tasks. Inspired by the rigor and precision of surveying, we set out to build the fastest, most accurate automated feature-extraction technology. Our flagship product, Digital Surveyor, is trusted by the top transportation agencies and engineering firms in the U.S. and Canada and enables our customers to extract miles of road corridor projects in a fraction of the time.
Our company, like our platform, is built for speed. We work fast, iterate with customer feedback, and never compromise on excellence. Headquartered in San Francisco, Mach9 empowers the architecture, engineering, and construction industries to tackle large-scale and long-range projects efficiently, unlocking new opportunities for more intelligent, more resilient infrastructure development.
