Software Engineer - Frontend

Mission 🚀

At Faros, we are reshaping the way engineering organizations operate, with an engineering intelligence platform that provides visibility and context across the organization's software delivery systems. This deep operational context supports engineering leaders today, and is increasingly essential as AI agents begin to operate within real software delivery environments. Faros is laying the foundation for how humans and AI will build software together in the years ahead.

About the Role

We are looking for a skilled and experienced Front-End Developer to join our team. Your primary responsibility will be the development and maintenance of the frontend of our SaaS product, utilizing modern web development technologies and best practices. However, we highly value candidates who are able to learn about other parts of the stack to gain a holistic understanding of our system.

What we value

• Living by our values over avoiding conflict. We favor transparency and honest debate because strong decisions depend on saying the hard things out loud.

• Transformation over predictability. We dedicate our efforts to work that produces monumental outcomes for our customers, even if it means trading short-term predictability for long-term impact.

• Intensity over comfort. We move with urgency and focus, especially when the work is messy or unstructured.

• Craftsmanship over throughput. We take pride in how things are built. Quality, coherence, and care matter. We would rather ship fewer things done right than many things done carelessly.

• Ownership over process. We act like founders. If we see something broken, we fix it. We don’t wait for permission, committees, or perfect instructions. Process exists to help us move faster, not to give us an excuse to stand still.

Responsibilities

• Development of front-end solutions for our SaaS product, using modern web development technologies and best practices.

• Work with designers and back-end developers to create a seamless user experience.
