Position Overview:
TruTechnologies is seeking a senior-level frontend/full-stack engineer to join our small, but growing team. You must have extensive experience with modern frontend development frameworks, tools, and full-stack integration. The ideal candidate is a technical leader who thrives in unstructured environments, takes extreme ownership, and bridges the gap between UX design, frontend implementation, and backend architecture. This role offers a unique opportunity to drive our frontend strategy, architect full-stack solutions, and mentor developers while directly impacting product success.
What You'll Do:
Lead frontend development using modern frameworks (React, Angular, or Vue) and state management solutions
Architect and implement full-stack features, integrating seamlessly with backend APIs, databases, and cloud services
Drive technical strategy for frontend performance, accessibility, responsive design, and developer experience
Evaluate and implement appropriate rendering strategies (CSR, SSR, SSG, or hybrid) to optimize performance, and user experience
Collaborate closely with product managers, UX designers, and backend engineers to translate business requirements into polished user experiences
Effectively manage multiple concurrent initiatives, proactively setting priorities and communicating progress
Lead architecture sessions, conduct high-impact code reviews, and establish engineering standards across frontend and full-stack domains
Mentor mid- and junior-level developers, fostering a culture of ownership, accountability, and continuous learning
Identify and execute enhancements to internal- and external-facing product offerings
What You'll Need:
7+ years of professional software development experience, with a strong focus on frontend frameworks and full-stack integration
Proficiency in modern frontend ecosystems (JS/TS, React/Angular/Vue, Webpack/Vite, testing frameworks)
Solid backend experience (APIs, databases, server-side logic, and cloud deployment)
Strong understanding of client-side rendering (CSR), server-side rendering (SSR), and hybrid approaches, including architectural trade-offs and performance implications
Deep understanding of system architecture, frontend performance optimization, and scalable full-stack patterns
Proven track record of technical leadership, cross-functional collaboration, and mentoring engineering teams
A passion for building user-centric software that solves real-world problems
Highly adaptable, feedback-driven, and comfortable navigating ambiguous or chaotic project environments
Exceptional communication skills and a collaborative, team-first mindset
Experience with Ruby on Rails is preferred
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science is preferred, but not required
