Front-End Software Engineer (Weather Platforms)

• We’re looking for a strong front-end engineer who uses frontier AI models and development tools to ship reliable customer products fast
• You’ll build applications that connect weather conditions to customer assets, locations, and routes—supporting monitoring, alert configuration, and operational decisions
• Build weather platforms that combine asset tracking, interactive maps, time-series views, and operational dashboards
• Develop workflows for managing assets and routes, assessing weather exposure, configuring alert thresholds, and reviewing and acting on alerts
• Make complex, changing data clear and actionable, including forecast uncertainty, data freshness, and alert severity
• Use tools such as Claude Code and Codex to accelerate development, debugging, and testing while maintaining code quality
• Ship and operate production frontends, including deployment pipelines, error monitoring, performance improvements, and fixes
• Build reusable components and test critical workflows, accessibility, browser compatibility, and failure states
• Collaborate with product, design, scientists, and API engineers; turn ambiguous requirements into small, shippable increments
