Senior Front-end / UI Engineer

Safety Chain • Grapevine, TX

22d • Hybrid

About The Position

SafetyChain is building the next generation of enterprise software for the supply chain—systems that help operators see clearly, decide confidently, and act fast in real time. We’re assembling a senior engineering group in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex to build this platform from the ground up using a modern, AI-first development environment.
This role is for a frontend engineer who cares deeply about UI quality, interaction design, performance, and clarity at scale—and who wants to help define how complex operational systems feel and function for real users.

Who We Are
SafetyChain is a rapidly scaling B2B SaaS provider revolutionizing plant management for Food & Beverage manufacturers by improving yield, maximizing productivity, and ensuring compliance. Our customers include industry leaders such as Albertsons, Clif Bar, Tyson Foods, and Whole Foods.
We operate with the agility of a startup and the stability of a proven platform—focused on building software that works in the real world, not just in demos.

What You’ll Do
As a senior frontend / UI engineer, you’ll help define and build the user-facing foundation of SafetyChain’s next-gen platform—enterprise-grade, AI-enabled, and designed for complex, high-stakes operational workflows.

Requirements

• 7+ years building modern, production-grade web applications (enterprise SaaS strongly preferred).
• Deep experience with TypeScript and modern frontend frameworks (React or equivalent).
• Strong understanding of frontend state, async data flows, caching strategies, and UI performance.
• Experience building interfaces that support complex workflows, dense data, and power users.
• Comfort working in a monorepo or shared codebase with strong engineering conventions.
• Ability to collaborate in a hybrid environment with in-office time when high-context work benefits the team.
• Expertise in component-driven development and scalable UI architecture.
• Experience building or contributing to design systems, shared components, or UI platforms.
• Strong intuition for UX tradeoffs, interaction design, and usability—even without being a designer.
• Experience supporting multiple form factors (web, tablet, desktop) and operational environments.
• Familiarity with accessibility, performance profiling, and browser/runtime constraints.

Nice To Haves

• Experience integrating AI-powered features into user-facing products.
• Exposure to backend APIs and comfort collaborating on API contracts.
• Experience in manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, or other operational SaaS domains.

Responsibilities

• Design and build rich, high-performance user interfaces in a modern TypeScript-based frontend stack.
• Own frontend architecture decisions around state management, data fetching, caching, offline behavior, and UI composition.
• Build and evolve shared UI primitives, patterns, and design-system foundations that scale across teams and products.
• Translate complex domain workflows (manufacturing, quality, compliance, operations) into clear, usable, and resilient interfaces.
• Partner closely with Product, Design, Backend, and AI/ML teams to shape experiences—not just implement screens.
• Leverage AI-assisted development workflows (code generation, scaffolding, test generation, refactoring) to accelerate delivery without sacrificing quality.
• Ensure UI performance, accessibility, and reliability for enterprise users operating in real-world environments (factories, tablets, shared terminals).
• Contribute to an “office-first when collaboration matters” culture focused on high-bandwidth problem solving and shared ownership.
