About the Role

We’re looking for a senior-level front-end engineer with deep React experience and solid Python API skills. You’ll join a development team building an internal appliance management tool: a web application that gives engineers a clear, reliable interface for configuring, monitoring, and operating appliances. You’ll own the UI end to end and contribute to the Python APIs behind it.

Responsibilities

• Design and build responsive, accessible React interfaces for appliance inventory, configuration, status, and workflow management
• Develop and maintain RESTful APIs in Python (FastAPI, Flask, or Django REST) that the front end consumes
• Integrate with appliance and device APIs, handling async operations, error states, and long-running tasks
• Build reusable components and maintain a consistent design system
• Write unit, integration, and end-to-end tests across the front end and API layers
• Participate in code reviews, sprint planning, and architecture discussions
• Partner with developers, QA, and operations to turn user feedback into features
• Document APIs and UI patterns so the team can extend the tool after the engagement

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional front-end development with React (hooks, context, component architecture)
• 3+ years building and consuming REST APIs with Python
• Strong JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML5, and CSS
• Experience with state management (Redux, Zustand, or React Query)
• Proficiency with Git and CI/CD workflows
• Experience writing automated tests (Jest, React Testing Library, pytest)
• Comfortable working with developers as primary users and gathering requirements directly from them
• Able to work onsite in Phoenix, AZ 3 days per week

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with network, infrastructure, or hardware/appliance management tools
• Familiarity with WebSockets or server-sent events for real-time status
• Experience with authentication and authorization (OAuth2, JWT, RBAC)
• Docker and basic Linux familiarity
• SQL/PostgreSQL experience
