GovEagle

Senior Frontend Engineer

New York, US Full-time

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)
  • FastAPI + Python (backend)
  • Temporal (background jobs)
  • DocumentDB (database)
  • Kubernetes (infrastructure)
  • AWS GovCloud + Azure GovCloud (cloud providers)
