Frontend Platform Engineer

Overview

As a Senior Frontend Platform Engineer on the Frontend Operations team, you will be the architect of the developer experience for all of Weave Engineering's web applications. You will own the lifecycle of our code—from optimizing local development within our NX monorepo to managing complex GitHub Actions and the deployment of our Electron desktop client. By bridging the gap between frontend tooling and backend infrastructure (Golang), you will build the high-performance systems that empower hundreds of engineers to ship code with speed, quality, and confidence.

What You Will Own

• The Monorepo Ecosystem: Driving the architecture and maintenance of our NX monorepo to ensure scalability as our codebase grows.
• CI/CD Pipeline & Tooling: Ownership of GitHub Actions and the internal tools (NodeJS/Golang) that power our builds, tests, and deploys.
• The Developer Feedback Loop: Identifying bottlenecks in the development process and implementing solutions to reduce build times and improve test infrastructure.
• Desktop Client Operations: Managing the build and release processes for our Electron-based desktop application.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partnering with Developer Experience, SRE, and Test Infrastructure teams to build a seamless continuous delivery pipeline.

What You Will Need to Accomplish the Job

• Experience: 6–9 years of professional engineering experience with a focus on frontend systems or infrastructure.
• Build System Expertise: Deep, hands-on experience with frontend build tools and package managers (e.g., NX, Vite, Webpack, Bun, PNPM, etc.).
• Strong Technical Foundation: Proficiency in TypeScript and NodeJS.
• Backend & Systems Thinking: Professional experience or a strong desire to work in Golang to build out supporting backend services for frontend operations.
• Operational Mindset: A proven track record of improving developer productivity, feedback loops, or CI/CD reliability.

What Will Make Us Love You

• Cloud Proficiency: Previous experience working within GCP (Google Cloud Platform).
• Frontend Context: Familiarity with React allows you to better understand the pain points of the engineers you are supporting.
• Platform Passion: You have a "customer-first" mindset where your customers are your fellow engineers.
• Adaptability: Experience scaling build systems at a medium-to-large SaaS company or a rapidly growing startup.
