Front-End Software Engineer

Who you are

• You’re proactive, resourceful, and eager to adopt new tools. You understand front-end engineering deeply enough to evaluate AI-generated code, troubleshoot problems, and own delivery from prototype through production
• Your experience goes beyond map viewers to applications with substantial workflows, complex state, and real operational use
• 5+ years building production software, with a strong front-end track record
• Strong TypeScript/JavaScript, React, HTML, and CSS skills, plus sound knowledge of browser behavior, state management, API integration, and performance
• Experience building workflow-rich applications with capabilities such as asset management, monitoring, configurable alerts, or operational decision support
• Demonstrated fluency with frontier AI models and agentic coding tools. Show us what you shipped, how AI helped, and how you validated it
• Experience taking frontends into production and supporting them through CI/CD, monitoring, and troubleshooting
• Strong UX judgment for data-rich interfaces, including keeping maps, tables, charts, and detail views consistent as data updates
• Experience with automated front-end testing and hands-on QA
• A bias toward action: move quickly, seek feedback early, and follow through until the product works reliably
• Weather, geospatial, aviation, or utility industry experience
• Interactive mapping and visualization experience with tools such as MapLibre, Mapbox, or deck.gl
• Experience with live asset tracking, geofencing, route visualization, or alert management
• Familiarity with forecast data, uncertainty, geographic coordinates, and large spatial or time-series datasets
• QA or test automation experience with Playwright or Cypress
• A portfolio of useful, deployed products built with AI-assisted workflows
• Access to US export-controlled software and/or technology may be required for this role. If needed, Spire will arrange the necessary licenses—this is not something candidates need to have before applying

What the job involves

• We’re looking for a strong front-end engineer who uses frontier AI models and development tools to ship reliable customer products fast
• You’ll build applications that connect weather conditions to customer assets, locations, and routes—supporting monitoring, alert configuration, and operational decisions
• Build weather platforms that combine asset tracking, interactive maps, time-series views, and operational dashboards
• Develop workflows for managing assets and routes, assessing weather exposure, configuring alert thresholds, and reviewing and acting on alerts
• Make complex, changing data clear and actionable, including forecast uncertainty, data freshness, and alert severity
• Use tools such as Claude Code and Codex to accelerate development, debugging, and testing while maintaining code quality
• Ship and operate production frontends, including deployment pipelines, error monitoring, performance improvements, and fixes
• Build reusable components and test critical workflows, accessibility, browser compatibility, and failure states
• Collaborate with product, design, scientists, and API engineers; turn ambiguous requirements into small, shippable increments
