Staff Front End Engineer

Hybrid Remote/ Redwood City, CA. Posted 9 months ago

The role

You will set front end technical direction and make architecture decisions for Zūm's Angular codebase, based at the Redwood Shores headquarters. You will also lead a front end team in Ukraine while still writing and shipping code yourself.

What you will do

Lead the Ukraine-based front end team technically and mentor its engineers while still writing production code.
Own the front end for dispatch, school, vendor and maps portals.
Partner with PMs (who work in Figma with design) and backend engineering to deliver shipped front end systems.
Set architecture standards for state, data density and reactive patterns across portals.
Identify where AI tooling can speed up front end development and drive that automation.
Bring technical leadership to infrastructure-level front end work, not only feature delivery.
Consolidate front end technical decision-making under one clear owner.

Strong hands-on experience with Angular.
Experience with reactive UI patterns and RxJS or equivalent observables-based architecture.

Experience technically leading or mentoring engineers, ideally across a distributed team.
Genuine interest in AI-driven automation.

Nice to have

Experience with mapping or GPS-adjacent UI.
