Solid understanding of React, including component architecture, hooks, and state management patterns
Hands-on experience building, deploying, and maintaining production-grade applications
Experience integrating front-end applications with GraphQL and REST APIs

Excellent communication and collaboration skills and ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, collaborative environment

What the job involves

Design, build, and productionize highly performant, accessible, and scalable frontend experiences that surface GenAI-powered brand intelligence within the Meltwater application. You will play a critical role in shaping how customers explore, understand, and trust insights generated by large-scale NLP and LLM systems powering GenAI Lens

Develop performant, accessible frontend systems in a monorepo environment, with a strong focus on reliability, maintainability, and user experience
Partner closely with design to rapidly iterate from concept to production, continuously refining UX as GenAI capabilities and customer needs evolve
Be accountable for the quality of the intelligence experience by defining and tracking frontend quality KPIs (performance, usability, accessibility, trust signals, and interaction reliability)
Collaborate with product and engineering to turn customer problems into measurable deliverables and ship production features quickly and safely
Own frontend systems end-to-end: from early prototypes through production rollout, observability, performance tuning, and ongoing iteration

Our take

Meltwater's software analyzes and provides insights on posts across all major social media platforms, blogs, and news sites, allowing companies to make more informed marketing and operational decisions.

Launched in Norway in 2001 and later moving its headquarters to San Francisco, Meltwater has become a leading player in the media monitoring industry. It is an industry that is expected to double in value as the volume of data grows, making it increasingly challenging to derive meaningful insights.

Over the past two decades, Meltwater's growth has been fueled by strategic acquisitions of complementary businesses, enhancing its technology stack. Since going public in early 2021, and with major clients like Google, Ogilvy, The Economist, and Santander, Meltwater is poised to expand its operations beyond the 150 countries it currently serves.
