Senior React Engineer

Northwind Labs·San Francisco, CA·Engineering

About the role

We're looking for a senior engineer to own the front end of our model deployment console — the surface where our customers configure, monitor, and roll back production inference workloads. This is a product-facing role on a small team. You'll work directly with design and with the engineers building our inference runtime, and you'll have real say in what we build. Our console is a Next.js app with a heavy real-time component: streaming logs, live metrics, and deployment state that changes under the user's feet. Getting that to feel calm rather than chaotic is the core design problem of the role.

What you'll do

  • Own the architecture of our deployment console end to end, from data fetching through to rendering
  • Build real-time interfaces over streaming log and metric data without melting the browser
  • Partner with design to turn dense operational data into something an on-call engineer can read at 3am
  • Set front-end standards — testing, performance budgets, accessibility — and hold the team to them
  • Mentor two mid-level engineers through code review and pairing

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years building production React applications, with at least 2 in a senior or lead capacity
  • Deep TypeScript — you reach for the type system to prevent bugs, not to satisfy a linter
  • Experience with real-time data patterns: WebSockets, SSE, or long-polling at scale
  • Demonstrable care about performance: you've profiled a slow app and made it fast
  • Comfortable operating with ambiguity and defining your own scope
