• Strong experience with React and TypeScript, including building complex, stateful user interfaces
• Hands-on experience with frontend state management (e.g. Zustand, Redux, or similar) in non-trivial applications
• Ability to design maintainable, modular frontend code, including reusable components and clear application structure
• Experience integrating frontend applications with REST APIs, and collaborating effectively with backend engineers
• Experience writing automated tests using Jest and React Testing Library, and contributing to E2E tests (e.g. Cypress) for critical workflows
• Practical understanding of frontend performance considerations (e.g. rendering behaviour, code splitting, lazy loading)
• Curiosity and willingness to apply modern AI tooling to improve user workflows, productivity, or content creation
• Strong software engineering fundamentals, including code quality, testing discipline, and thoughtful trade-offs
• A growth mindset, with a willingness to learn, adapt, and continuously improve technical and product skills
• Clear communication, sound engineering judgment, and a strong sense of ownership over code quality
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience

Desirable

• You’ll join TrustFlight as a Software Engineer (React & TypeScript) on the SmartDoc team, reporting to the Tech Lead
• SmartDoc is TrustFlight’s AI-powered document authoring platform used by aviation professionals to create, edit, and manage safety- and compliance-critical operational documentation
• This is a frontend-focused, full-stack role
• You’ll primarily build high-quality, intuitive user interfaces using React and TypeScript, while collaborating closely with backend engineers on APIs and data flows to deliver robust, end-to-end document authoring experiences
• Build modern, responsive user interfaces using React, TypeScript, Zustand, and Vite, with clear component boundaries and performance-focused design for document authoring workflows
• Design and maintain modular frontend architectures, including state management solutions for complex document editing states (e.g. persistence, async flows)
• Establish and evolve scalable folder structures, shared component libraries, and reusable patterns
• Integrate frontend features with backend services via REST APIs (Node/Nest.js), implementing predictable data flows, error handling, and state lifecycles
• Collaborate closely with backend engineers to refine API contracts, validation rules, and response structures with reliability and security in mind
• Implement automated testing using Jest and React Testing Library, and contribute to E2E test coverage (e.g. Cypress) to protect critical user workflows and document integrity
• Drive frontend performance improvements through code splitting, lazy loading, bundle analysis, and render-time profiling
• Maintain and expand Storybook for component documentation, isolation, and testing
• Apply modern AI tooling and best practices to document authoring workflows, identifying and implementing use cases that improve user experience, accuracy, and productivity
• Participate in system and feature design discussions with a frontend-first perspective, and contribute to sprint planning and cross-functional alignment with Product, Design, and QA
• Conduct code reviews and contribute to shared engineering standards, delivering clean, well-documented, production-ready code
