Role
Who you are
- Experience across the stack is a plus, but deep expertise in front-end architecture is required
- 7+ years of front-end engineering experience, with deep expertise in React and modern front-end architecture; at least 2 years in a technical leadership role
- Proven track record designing and scaling front-end platforms — including micro-frontend architectures, shared infrastructure, or multi-product environments
- Experience building and maintaining component libraries and shared UI frameworks that support theming, localization, and customizability
- Strong grasp of developer experience: improving tooling, workflows, and CI/CD pipelines to accelerate front-end delivery across teams
- Solid understanding of accessibility standards (WCAG) and experience applying them within large, complex codebases
- Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to break down ambiguous technical challenges and design scalable, long-term solutions
- Experience optimizing front-end performance (lazy loading, code splitting, caching, efficient state management)
- Ability to influence cross-team design and engineering decisions, driving alignment on architecture, standards, and shared systems
- Experience collaborating closely with design and engineering teams to ensure consistent, intuitive, and high-quality user experiences
- Required to work on-site 5x a week in our Miami office (Coral Gables)
What the job involves
- At Kandji, we’re evolving our product suite into a true multi-product platform, and Web Foundations is at the heart of that transformation. As a Staff Software Engineer on this team, you’ll own the front-end architecture and shared systems that power the entire platform experience
- This is a high-impact role where the technical decisions you make will directly shape how our products scale, integrate, and deliver value to customers
- You’ll go far beyond component libraries — driving the architecture for cross-product navigation and routing, global notifications, activity feeds, asset management, developer experience, and reusable front-end infrastructure. You’ll partner closely with product, design, and other engineering teams to set the standards for scalability, performance, accessibility, and consistency across Kandji’s platform
- This role is about leverage: building foundations once, and enabling every product team to move faster with greater quality. As a technical leader, you’ll guide strategy, mentor engineers, and be a key voice in defining the next generation of Kandji’s web platform
- Architect the platform: Define and evolve the front-end architecture that powers Kandji’s multi-product platform, ensuring scalability, performance, and long-term maintainability
- Build shared systems: Lead development of global capabilities like notifications, activity feeds, navigation/routing, and asset management that serve every product team
- Evolve the design system: Drive the next generation of Kandji’s design system and component libraries, ensuring accessibility, consistency, and adoption across all products
- Champion developer experience: Improve tooling, workflows, and frameworks to make front-end development at Kandji faster, more reliable, and more enjoyable for all engineers
- Set engineering standards: Establish patterns, frameworks, and best practices for state management, code quality, performance optimization, and accessibility
- Mentor and influence: Provide technical leadership and guidance to engineers across teams, raising the bar for front-end development organization-wide
- Collaborate cross-functionally: Partner with design, product, and backend engineering to align on shared goals, improve integration, and accelerate delivery
- Deliver leverage: Build foundations once and enable product teams to move faster, reduce duplication, and ship with greater quality
Our take
Device and application management is essential for the maintenance of an IT stack, with particular emphasis on frequent updating and compliance. This can be a laborious and repetitive task, so management software exists to automate these processes. However, existing solutions are generally aimed towards IT departments running on Windows.
Kandji provides a mobile device management platform that facilitates the remote maintenance of Apple-based IT stacks. Users can manage IT devices, applications, networking and compliance within a zero-touch automation system. The need for this service in companies using Apple hardware is clear: it has been adopted by major enterprises such as Belkin, Crunchbase and Notion.
As the Apple device management market is also expanding at speed, Kandji is well poised to continue its run of success. It has raised significants funding across several round, the latest of which is cited to support investment in product innovation and engineering for future advancements and value for customers.
