Sr. Software Engineer, Frontend

BambooHR is a company focused on transforming HR through innovative software solutions. They are seeking a Frontend Software Engineer to help shape their application, emphasizing user experience and the integration of AI technologies. The role involves collaboration with design and engineering teams to create complex web UI components and mentor junior engineers.

Responsibilities:

• Collaborate heavily with designers and our engineering team to create complex web UI components and pages
• Research technologies and engineer complete solutions to problems
• Propose and implement performance optimizations and scaling strategies
• Contribute to the ongoing improvement of our systems and processes
• Integrate AI into your daily tasks using IDEs (or plugins) such as Github Copilot and Windsurf. Leverage ChatGPT/Claude Code/Cursor to streamline your workload by brainstorming and refining ideas, and planning projects
• Mentor junior engineers and provide technical guidance
• Join our fast-paced team as we innovate at the speed of AI. AI is integrated into our products, development processes, and IDEs. We utilize AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Sonnet, Grok, and Gemini in our daily work

Requirements:

• 7+ years of solid experience with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Our designers push the envelope and we need you to be up to the task. (Seriously, don't skimp the HTML/CSS side)
• 5+ years of recent experience using React to build high-quality interactive user interfaces
• Demonstrated ability to produce super sweet user interfaces from high-resolution mocks
• Demonstrated ability to effectively build modern UI components from scratch (datepickers, interactive lists, etc.)
• Experience leading projects with multiple developers
• Solid understanding of web standards and cross-browser web development best practices, and the ability to mentor others
• Previous work samples demonstrating proficiency in building highly interactive web-based applications
• Experience with version control systems like Git
• Familiarity with AI tools like OpenAI APIs, being in an agentic development environment, or an inclination to learn prompt engineering to drive front-end innovation and prototype smart features
• Skilled in integrating RESTful or GraphQL APIs, and experienced in working with back-end development teams. Ability to leverage AI prompts to optimize API calls for improved data presentation and user experience is a plus
• You can show that you'd be an excellent communicator with our PHP developers and UI Designers
• We can see that you have a service-minded attitude
• Proven ability to lead technical projects, including defining scope and taking ownership
• Experience in Typescript, State Management tools (Redux, react-sweet-state, etc), and design systems like Material-UI
• Experience with JavaScript testing with tools like Jest, Mocha, Vitest, etc
• Experience in developing Software as a Service (fast release cycles that still support an existing userbase)
• Proficient in integrating AI-powered features into front-end workflows, such as real-time personalized UI elements, dynamic content rendering, or customized chatbot interactions using prompt engineering
• A bachelor's degree in Computer Science, or a related degree
