About Canals

Canals builds software for wholesale distributors, helping them operate more efficiently through automation and AI.

Our customers are the companies responsible for moving the materials that power the real economy; electrical supplies, plumbing products, roofing materials, HVAC equipment, and more. Every day, thousands of people rely on Canals to help process orders, manage purchasing, handle accounts payable, and streamline critical business workflows.

We're a profitable, rapidly growing company with a team of roughly 140 people distributed across North and South America. We care deeply about building great products, hiring exceptional people, and creating an environment where talented individuals can do the best work of their careers.

The Opportunity

Canals is growing quickly, and the complexity of what we’re building is too. We’re looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer to help us design and build rich, performant web applications that make intricate supply-chain operations simple and intuitive.

You’ll own major parts of our frontend architecture, collaborate closely with product and design, and bring beautiful, highly-usable experiences to life. This is a high-impact role for someone who loves turning messy real-world workflows into elegant, reliable interfaces.

What You’ll Do
  • Build and maintain core frontend features using Svelte, TypeScript, and modern web tooling.

  • Own large, complex UI projects end-to-end — from architecture and implementation to polish and performance.

  • Collaborate with product designers and backend engineers to translate business logic into intuitive interfaces.

  • Shape and evolve our design system and component libraries for consistency and speed.

  • Optimize performance, accessibility, and reliability across browsers and devices.

  • Review code, mentor teammates, and help raise the overall technical bar of the frontend team.

What You'll Bring
  • Typically, 5+ years of professional experience in frontend or full-stack engineering.

  • Expert-level knowledge of TypeScript, and modern JavaScript/HTML/CSS.

  • Proven experience shipping complex, data-driven web apps in production.

  • Deep understanding of frontend architecture, state management, and API integration patterns.

  • An eye for design and empathy for users — you care about how things look and feel.

  • Strong communication and collaboration skills in a remote, async environment.

  • Experience with frontend performance optimization is a plus.
