The Role
We’re looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer to take ownership of the GovEagle user experience. You’ll lead development across our React/Next.js frontend, work closely with our designer to bring new interfaces to life, and shape the workflows that define how customers interact with our platform every day. This role is deeply product-focused, highly visible, and central to how GovEagle continues to scale.
This role is in-person in New York City, 5 days per week, to maximize collaboration and speed.
What You’re Signing Up For
- Owning the frontend of the GovEagle platform end to end — architecture, components, performance, and polish.
- Implementing new designs, workflows, and dashboard experiences with React, Typescript, and Next.js.
- Working closely with our designer to translate product ideas and UI specs into high-quality, production-ready interfaces.
- Integrating with backend APIs and LLM-powered functionality in collaboration with our backend engineers.
- Improving UI consistency, responsiveness, accessibility, and maintainability.
- Contributing to our design system and shaping a scalable component library.
- While not a DevOps-heavy role, familiarity with Kubernetes, GovCloud environments, or secure deployments is a plus.
- Experience developing Microsoft Office add-ins (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) or building browser extensions is a strong bonus.
Who We’re Looking For
- 3+ years of professional frontend engineering experience.
- Deep expertise in React, Next.js, Typescript, and modern frontend patterns.
- Strong product sense — you care about user flows, clarity, and experience.
- Experience partnering with designers and bringing UI/UX specs to life.
- Comfortable with complex data flows, state management, and backend integrations.
- Someone who thrives in a fast-paced startup with clear ownership and autonomy.
- Bonus experience:
- Microsoft add-ins or browser extensions
- LLM integrations
- Secure cloud environments (AWS GovCloud, Azure GovCloud)
What Success Looks Like
- A polished, intuitive, and reliable frontend that customers love using.
- Noticeable improvements to dashboard performance, workflows, and usability.
- A component library and UI system that accelerates product development.
- Frontend features that directly improve customer adoption and satisfaction.
- Strong cross-functional collaboration, helping GovEagle deliver high-quality experiences quickly.
Our Stack
- Next.js + React + Typescript (frontend)
