This often includes extending or adapting our frontend, backend, and infrastructure-as-code components, as well as supporting the creation of Computational Twins that model complex real-world systems. You’ll play a hands-on role in shaping how Frontier is deployed and scaled in production environments, ensuring it delivers real impact from day one.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Serve as a strong technical contributor within a cross-functional Delivery Squad, working alongside Engineers, Product Designers, Data Scientists, and a Delivery Manager to deliver impactful customer solutions.

• Mentor and support the growth of more junior engineers in the team

• Collaborate across the wider Frontier engineering organisation to implement new features, resolve issues, and improve the product’s user experience.

• Build and extend the product using one or more of our primary languages - Python & TypeScript. Experience with Infrastructure as Code and Rust are also useful.

• Work directly with customer stakeholders, including end users and engineering teams, to integrate Frontier into existing systems, data sources, and workflows.
  

What we are looking for:

• Full-stack engineering experience with Python, Typescript and React

• Experience with PostgreSQL.

• Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines (ideally with GitLab).

• Strong understanding of system architecture and design.

• Experience championing automated testing strategies across various levels of the test pyramid.

• Experience working with cross-functional teams of engineers.

• Experience collaborating with Product Managers and Product Designers to ensure delightful customer experiences.

• Expertise in Docker with deployment on Kubernetes, preferred

• An understanding of the AI value chain

• Experience with startup-centric fast-paced work, sometimes introducing creative approaches to difficult problems.
