Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Sound Decisions is hiring a Software Engineer to own and build front-end product experiences for a payments and data intelligence platform. The role is full-stack but primarily focused on UI implementation, integrating with backend services, and shipping user-facing features.
Responsibilities
- Own front-end features end to end — from UI/UX implementation through shipping — using JavaScript/TypeScript, Node.js, and React (Vite as the build tool)
- Work on outlying UI services that consume shared backend services and present data to users, ramping toward independently handling most non-architectural tickets (form changes, UX changes supporting new backend features) within your first few months
- Collaborate with a small backend-leaning engineering team (Java/Scala/C# exposure is a plus, not a requirement) to integrate front-end work with core product services
- Use AI development tools as a normal part of your workflow — the team actively encourages this — while being able to verify and stand behind your own understanding of what you ship
Skills
- 3–5 years of professional software engineering experience, with genuine depth in JavaScript/TypeScript and React
- Comfortable working with real autonomy: someone who can take direction, incorporate feedback quickly, and then run with a piece of work without needing close supervision
- Adaptable to a small-company pace and ambiguity
- Genuine, thoughtful use of AI coding tools: able to use them productively while still catching and correcting their mistakes yourself
- Must be authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship
- Vite experience is a plus
- Prior experience at a smaller, fast-moving company is a plus
- Backend exposure (Java, Scala, or C#) is a bonus, not a gate — this is primarily a front-end role
- Candidates based near Salt Lake City UT, Philadelphia PA, or Chicago IL are preferred
Benefits
- 100% remote, with roughly two weeks per year of company travel for in-person team gatherings.
