Senior React Developer

Position Overview

Bobyard is building modern software for construction. As our frontend surface area and user base grow, we need a senior engineer to own our React architecture and raise the UI bar.

You’ll lead frontend development across the product — architecture, performance, UX — while working full-stack in Django and PostgreSQL as needed. High autonomy, high ownership. No layers of process. We ship to real users who depend on speed and reliability.

What You’ll Do

• Own frontend architecture: Set standards for React across the codebase. Drive performance, accessibility, and UX. Make our UI fast and intuitive.
• Build full-stack: Primarily React, with Django and PostgreSQL. Ship complete features, not just components.
• Design for scale: Make architecture decisions that hold when usage grows 100x. Frontend and backend.
• Partner on product: Work with design, product, and CV to scope and ship features users rely on. Influence the roadmap.
• Run production: Deploy to AWS/GCP.. Instrument, monitor, debug. Build systems that reduce operational load.
• Raise the bar: Mentor engineers. Review code. Improve our frontend practices and tooling. Prototype fast and validate with users.

You Are

• High-ownership: Comfortable with ambiguity. Create clarity and deliver.
• Product-minded: Understand why we build. Strong UI/UX judgment. Advocate for the user and protect scope.
• Technically strong: Deep React expertise. Solid system design and performance fundamentals. Scaled apps to significant usage.
• Full-stack capable: Can work across the stack. No handoffs. Accountable for outcomes.
• Fast learner: Evaluate and adopt new tools when they help. Ship quickly.
• Startup-focused: Prefer impact over process. Execute in a fast environment.
• Calm under pressure: Balance roadmap work, production issues, and technical leadership. Prioritize and delegate.
