Description For Founding Frontend Software Engineer - VC Backed Startups (Senior/Staff)

SignalFire, a venture capital firm managing 200+ innovative portfolio companies, is seeking exceptional Founding Frontend Engineers to join their talent network. This unique opportunity connects skilled engineers with exclusive early-stage startups across AI, cybersecurity, healthtech, fintech, and enterprise SaaS sectors.

The ideal candidate will have 3+ years of experience in frontend development and a passion for building exceptional user experiences. You'll be responsible for designing and developing scalable, high-performance frontend applications, working directly with founders and cross-functional teams to shape the future of technology.

Technical expertise should include modern JavaScript frameworks (React, Vue.js, Angular), TypeScript, and state management libraries. You'll be working with cutting-edge technologies including server-side rendering frameworks, GraphQL, and modern testing tools. The role demands strong architectural decision-making abilities and experience with performance optimization, accessibility, and security best practices.

This position offers a competitive compensation package ranging from $170,000 to $250,000, plus equity, reflecting the senior/staff level nature of the role. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area with a hybrid work arrangement, you'll have the opportunity to work directly with innovative startups and shape their technical direction from the ground up.
