Role
Who you are
- Build Together, Win Together: Committed to pursuing the best outcomes and advancing toward shared goals. When faced with challenges, they maintain composure and reliability and work as a team. Proactively remove roadblocks to maintain momentum and achieve goals. As a team, they embody a solution-oriented attitude and drive to win
- Take Action, Drive Impact: Ensure efforts contribute directly to goals. Step up and offer innovative solutions to overcome obstacles and improve processes. Leverage the ability to think independently and strategically. Navigate uncharted territory effectively while also laying a foundation for sustainable growth and success
- No Grit, No Pearl: Embrace the gritty aspects of the journey to success. Pitch in wholeheartedly and recognize that no task is beneath us when it contributes to Bridgit’s collective success. Believe that confronting ambiguity or adversity with determination, not only strengthens resilience but also fosters growth, driving continuous improvement and achievement
- Expert-level frontend skills - You have deep hands-on experience building high-quality, user-facing applications with modern JavaScript and TypeScript. You’re fluent in React (or similar frameworks), and you understand how to structure large-scale frontends for long-term maintainability
- Frontend architecture leadership – You’ve designed and scaled complex UI systems. You think in patterns, know how to balance reusability with pragmatism, and can clearly explain trade-offs in component design, state management, and performance optimization
- Design system fluency - You’ve helped shape or evolve a design system - not just consumed one. You understand the importance of consistency, accessibility, and collaboration between design and engineering
- Product-first mindset – You care about building real products for real people. You’ve worked closely with cross-functional teams, shaped product direction, and supported features all the way from design to deployment - and beyond
- Curious and future-oriented – You stay sharp on emerging frontend tools and techniques, and you’re particularly interested in how AI and LLMs can shape the future of product experiences and development workflows
- A force multiplier – You lead by example, mentor other engineers, and help raise the bar across the team. You know how to drive technical decisions while bringing people along with you
What the job involves
- As a Staff Frontend Developer at Bridgit, you’ll play a foundational role in shaping the future of our frontend architecture and practices. You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with designers, developers, and QA in a truly collaborative, cross-functional environment - free of silos and bureaucracy
- You’ll help lead the modernization of our frontend stack, making strategic decisions around tooling, patterns, and design systems that enable faster, more consistent development. Whether it’s building new features, improving performance, or refactoring legacy code, you’ll drive the technical direction and help set the standards for how we build user-facing software
- You’ll also mentor engineers, guide design discussions, and influence our long-term vision—ensuring our UI remains scalable, maintainable, and a joy to use for both customers and developers alike
- You’ll be working on Bridgit Bench, our flagship product, which is built with a modern, scalable tech stack:
- A JavaScript/React frontend, powered by our in-house design system, Foundation
- Backend services in C# (.NET Core) and Go
- Public APIs exposed through both REST and GraphQL
- Cloud-native infrastructure running on AWS, orchestrated with Kubernetes
- A fully automated CI/CD pipeline that supports continuous deployment to production
Our take
The construction industry in North America is experiencing what some analysts are calling endemic widespread labor shortages. That means general contractors are under more pressure than ever to place the right people on the right projects at the right time.
Bridgit and its main product, Bench, are alleviating this pressure for construction managers. By replacing spreadsheets with a built-for-purpose software, Bridgit helps managers strategically manage their workforce with much greater efficiency and precision.
Off the back of 2023 funding, the company is expanding its product team, focusing on development that will enable its software to become a unifying layer for an organization’s data. This will provide “unprecedented visibility” for its customers' people and projects.
The company has so far won sizable clients that have both decent profits and pressing staffing problems. And most recently launched an AI assistant that is set to help further simplify construction workforce planning. Pushing the company in the right direction to continue dominating in its market.
