- Performance Optimization: Knowledge of performance-focused tools and techniques for rendering large datasets and building responsive, smooth interfaces
- WebGL/Graphics: Experience with or interest in WebGL and working on data visualization projects is a plus!
What the job involves
- As a Frontend Engineer, you’ll play a crucial role in developing and enhancing user-facing features of our platform
- You will build scalable and intuitive web applications, focusing on high-performance visualizations and dynamic interaction design
- Develop and Enhance Features: Build and improve frontend functionality using modern JavaScript frameworks like React, Next.js, and TypeScript. Focus on creating polished, usable interfaces with an emphasis on user experience
- Collaborate Across Teams: Partner closely with backend engineers to integrate APIs (e.g., tRPC) and ensure seamless user experiences. Work with product and design teams to validate designs and iterate on features
- Build Scalable Systems: Contribute to scalable architecture, particularly when working with APIs and managing large data volumes to optimize the user experience
- Prioritize Performance and UX: Create high-performance, visually appealing frontend solutions that handle complex data sets efficiently. Ensure the product is fast, smooth, and intuitive to use, even under heavy load
Our take
Whilst leading workflow platforms such as Monday and Basecamp are designed for general use, teams in more specific industries may benefit from experiences designed for their sector. Nominal has built a data analysis platform and workflow system tailored to the needs of engineering teams managing complex machines in industries such as aerospace and defense.
Nominal’s platform caters to engineering teams who develop, validate and monitor hardware, enabling them to build observability and control over mission-critical machines. It automates routine tasks and streamlines collaboration between team members, ensuring that all stages of a machine’s development have rigorous oversight.
Having only come out of stealth in 2024, Nominal’s path to market has been accelerated by several rounds of funding. This will be used to expand operations and business reach as it attempts to cut into a competitive market. With its target audience pitch well articulated, here’s to hoping the company can pull customers away from pre-existing, but more general, workflow and analysis platforms.
