Top Skills & Details Locations: Charlotte, Dallas, Minneapolis, Chandler Role Breakdown: 75% UI / 25% UX (see full description below) Required Skills * 7+ years of experience with React and TypeScript * Data visualization experience (tool flexible; preference to avoid Power BI) * Experience with GraphQL * Experience building analytical drill-down dashboards or large-scale tools * Strong experience developing high-performance web applications handling large datasets Job Description You will build the primary user interface for a SaaS security platform-the layer that application teams, security architects, and business stakeholders interact with daily. This is not a pure UX design role or a generic frontend position. You are a hands-on engineer who can move quickly, integrate directly with FastAPI services, and apply practical UX thinking (25%) to make complex security data intuitive and actionable. If users don't trust or actively use the UI, the platform cannot scale-your work is critical to adoption. Core Responsibilities UI & Frontend Development (~75%) Design and build the core application UI used by: * SaaS application owners * Security architects * Risk and oversight teams Develop features such as: * SaaS application inventory views * Control adherence status (PASS / FAIL / INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE) * Drill-down flows from findings to supporting evidence * Change or drift tracking ("what changed since last run") Build clean, scalable, and maintainable UI components that can evolve into a full product experience. Backend Coordination (FastAPI Focus) * Work closely with FastAPI-based backend services * Define and consume: * REST and async APIs * Graph-based or aggregated endpoints * Partner with integration engineers to shape UI-friendly data contracts * Occasionally build lightweight FastAPI endpoints to support UI functionality You are not expected to own backend systems but should be comfortable working across the stack to avoid bottlenecks. UX & Usability (~25%) Apply practical UX principles to: * Reduce cognitive load for complex, security-heavy data * Make control failures understandable without deep security expertise Collaborate with security and engineering teams to: * Clearly communicate findings * Avoid ambiguous or overly alarmist messaging Design simple, effective workflows that answer: * What failed? * Why did it fail? * What happens next? This is pragmatic UX, focused on clarity and usability-not formal research-heavy design. Required Experience & Skills Frontend Engineering * 6+ years building production web applications * Strong expertise in: * React (or similar frameworks) * TypeScript / JavaScript * State management for data-intensive applications * Comfortable working in fast-paced environments with iterative development Backend Fluency * Hands-on experience with FastAPI * Experience working with: * Async APIs * JSON schema-based services * Ability to independently troubleshoot frontend-backend integration issues UX & Collaboration * Proven ability to simplify complex technical data * Experience building internal platforms or enterprise tools * Strong collaboration with engineers, security teams, and stakeholders Employee Value Proposition * Opportunity to contribute to a large-scale initiative * Potential for contract extension or conversion * High-impact role shaping a core product experience Work Environment * Hybrid: 3 days onsite, 2 days remote Business Impact This role supports the development of an internal SaaS security platform designed to improve operational efficiency and reduce reliance on external vendor solutions by building capabilities in-house. Reason for Opening The team is building a new SaaS security platform and needs a frontend-focused engineer to develop the primary interface used by application teams, security architects, and stakeholders.
