Front End Engineer

Bixal, a Fairfax, VA-based consulting company, is seeking a Front-End Engineer to join their team in a fully remote capacity. This role focuses on maintaining and evolving the VA Design System (VADS) and VA Forms Library, directly impacting millions of Veterans and their families through improved digital services.

The position requires 4+ years of experience and strong expertise in React, JavaScript/TypeScript, and modern front-end development practices. You'll be responsible for developing accessible, responsive components for VA.gov and the VA Health & Benefits mobile app, ensuring compliance with federal accessibility standards.

This is an excellent opportunity for a mid-level engineer passionate about civic tech and creating meaningful impact. The role offers a competitive salary range of $100,000-$110,000 and comprehensive benefits including flexible hours, 401k matching, health benefits, and parental leave.

Working in an agile, cross-functional team, you'll collaborate with designers, researchers, and other engineers to build user-friendly interfaces following U.S. Web Design System standards. The position requires strong attention to detail, excellent communication skills, and a user-centered mindset.

While this is a contract-based position with a one-year performance period, it offers unique exposure to federal projects and the opportunity to make a real difference in veterans' lives. The role is remote-friendly within the USA, though candidates must be legally authorized to work in the US and able to obtain a Public Trust clearance.

Bixal provides a supportive work environment with emphasis on professional development and work-life balance. The company's mission focuses on delivering innovative, human-centered solutions for government services, making this an ideal position for engineers who want to combine technical expertise with social impact.
