Senior Frontend Software Engineer Full Description

Position Summary
Bridge is seeking a seasoned Senior Frontend Software Engineer to take ownership of modernizing and maintaining its legacy application while planning and driving strategic feature development. This hands-on senior role owns frontend work on Bridge's core product, a large, mission-critical application built up over many years, collaborating on project architecture, overseeing microfrontend frameworks, and leading cross-functional team initiatives.

Responsibilities
  • Own frontend work on Bridge's core product, shipping new features, fixing tricky bugs, and modernizing legacy code
  • Work closely with product owners, designers, and backend engineers to get features over the line
  • Build with React 19 and strict TypeScript across a microfrontend architecture with 20+ apps in production
  • Maintain and extend a well-made, shared component library using TanStack Query and React Context for data and state
  • Treat testing as a default using Vitest, React Testing Library, Playwright, MSW, and Storybook-driven development
  • Build accessibility as a first-class requirement, with semantic HTML and full keyboard and screen-reader support meeting WCAG standards
  • Externalize UI text for internationalization and build every screen locale-aware
  • Track real-user frontend performance metrics, including Core Web Vitals, treating regressions as defects
  • Integrate with a Ruby on Rails monolith and Java/Kotlin Spring Boot services with working familiarity, not ownership

Minimum Qualifications
Strong frontend fundamentals with deep, production-proven experience in React, TypeScript, and adjacent tooling, plus a 'no fear' attitude for navigating a large, under-documented legacy codebase without a guide.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Microfrontend or module-federation experience
  • Rails or JVM familiarity, plus Terraform and CI/CD depth
  • Graph or search infrastructure experience
  • Hands-on experience using AI coding assistants and agents such as Claude Code in day-to-day workflow

Other Requirements
Work is remote within Canada. Ways of working include SAFe, Jira, Confluence, Slack, and Google Workspace on a MacBook Pro. Async, trust-based culture with no hour tracking.
