Senior Frontend Engineer

Engineering · Full-time · Remote (Europe)

About the role

We are looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer to help design and build a mission control platform for cloud and edge infrastructure based on Kubernetes.

This is a greenfield project where the frontend is entirely API-driven and generated from OpenAPI specifications. The platform is not another multi-Kubernetes-cluster dashboard: it is designed to orchestrate complex distributed systems and multi-tenant environments.

You will play a central role in designing a frontend framework that composes UI components directly from OpenAPI v3 specifications, collaborating closely with backend engineers exposing gRPC and HTTP APIs powered by auto-generated and dynamic OAPIv3 specifications.

Our team is remote-first within Europe (mandatory) with occasional in-person meetups for team building. Being a European team, professional fluency in English (written and spoken) is mandatory.

What You'll Do

  • Design and implement a modern frontend architecture driven by OpenAPI v3 specifications

  • Build a component framework capable of generating UI flows from API schemas

  • Collaborate closely with backend engineers, exposing gRPC/HTTP APIs

  • Design multi-tenant aware user interfaces, with super-admin capabilities

  • Translate complex distributed-system workflows into intuitive UI experiences

  • Work with Kubernetes-centric systems from an application developer and administrator perspective

  • Contribute to the first full implementation of the platform within the first 6 months

  • Maintain and progressively replace some legacy frontend components written in Qwik

  • Help shape the frontend development culture and architecture

This role is not about maintaining dashboards, but about building a mission-critical control plane UI based on core technology, Kamaji.

Engineering Environment

  • API-first development

  • OpenAPI v3 as the source of truth

  • gRPC + HTTP backend services

  • Multi-tenant architecture

  • Cloud and edge infrastructure systems

  • Remote-first collaboration

  • AI-assisted development workflows

We strongly encourage engineers to leverage generative AI tools for productivity. A Claude Pro subscription will be provided, and we expect engineers to use modern AI-assisted workflows for repetitive or boilerplate tasks.

What We're Looking For

Senior frontend expertise

  • Deep experience building large frontend applications

  • Strong knowledge of modern TypeScript ecosystems

  • Experience designing component libraries or frontend frameworks

  • Strong architectural thinking and ability to design scalable UI systems

API-driven frontend development

  • Strong experience with OpenAPI v3 specifications

  • Ability to reason about API contracts and generate UI from schemas

  • Experience working with typed API clients and schema-driven development

Distributed systems awareness

You don't need to operate clusters, but you should understand:

  • What Kubernetes is and why it exists

  • Concepts such as pods, services, clusters, and control planes

  • How applications behave in distributed environments

This helps translate infrastructure workflows into meaningful UI interactions.

Product-level thinking

  • Ability to transform complex backend capabilities into coherent user experiences

  • Although focusing on a greenfield architecture, being able to guide out our legacy Qwik implementation.

  • Experience building multi-tenant applications

Bonus Experience

  • Experience with gRPC APIs

  • Experience with schema-driven UI generation

  • Experience with Kubernetes or infrastructure software

  • Experience with Qwik

  • Experience building developer platforms

How We Work

  • Remote Work: The role offers flexible remote or hybrid work options.

  • Performance-Based: The company focuses on results and objectives, not set working hours. We're expecting a high grade of autonomy and ownership.

  • International Environment: The company has international customers.

  • Small senior team: no junior roles.

  • Strong focus on engineering quality and architecture.

Salary Range

Depending on experience, our gross salary range is between 65.000 and 75.000 EUR. Candidates entitled to a valid work permit for Italy will be employed under a permanent contract regulated by Italian laws.

EU citizens, as well as individuals with a valid EU work permit, may engage under a B2B independent contractor agreement.
