Senior Frontend Software Engineer (Bridge) Canada, Remote

We are a global team of Engineers, Product Managers, Designers, and Program Managers across North and South America, Hungary, and the UK.

Bridge is a software that people use for learning and career-development. Our goal? Help organizations build a culture where people thrive. Curious about what it looks like?

Here is a quick intro:

This is a hands-on senior engineering role. You will own frontend work on our core product — a large, mission-critical application built up over many years — shipping new features, fixing tricky bugs, and modernizing code that needs it. You will work closely with product owners, designers, and backend engineers to get features over the line.

• Strong frontend fundamentals. Deep, production-proven experience with React, TypeScript and adjacent tooling.
• Accessibility above all. You treat accessibility as part of “done,” not a later cleanup pass — building to WCAG standards for keyboard and screen-reader users by default.
• A 'No Fear' Attitude: You have been in situations where there was no guide, no documentation, and no one else to fix the problem. You had to figure it out on your own. You don’t panic when facing an ugly codebase—you just roll up your sleeves.
• Abstract & Conceptual Thinking: Navigating a massive, under-documented monolith requires an exceptional ability to see the 'big picture' through a foggy window. You can easily grasp high-level architecture and connect the dots between messy legacy logic and modern services.
• Polyglot & Diverse Background: You have worked across many stacks. You aren’t attached to a single language — you understand trade-offs and treat technologies as tools to solve business problems.
• Direct Communicator: We value honesty, constructive friction, and direct feedback. You aren't easily offended by sharp critique; instead, you look for the objective truth in every technical debate.

The list below is the environment you will work in, not a checklist you must already know. This is a frontend role on a full-stack team, so you will touch much of it — but we require depth in the frontend stack and only working familiarity with the rest. If you are strong in React and TypeScript and unafraid of a large legacy codebase, you can learn the backend and data specifics “on the job”.

• React and TypeScript. Most of our frontends are on React 19 with strict TypeScript while parts of the monolith are still on older React and plain JavaScript.
• Microfrontend architecture with 20+ apps in production.
• Well-made and solid shared component library.
• Data and state with TanStack Query and React Context — not Redux.
• Testing as a default: Vitest, React Testing Library, Playwright and MSW, with Storybook-driven component development.
• Accessibility as a first-class requirement — semantic HTML, full keyboard and screen-reader support and WCAG conformance built into every component rather than bolted on afterward.
• Internationalization from the start — the product ships in many languages, so UI text is externalized with message formatting. Every screen is built locale-aware.
• Performance you can measure — we track real-user frontend metrics, including Core Web Vitals, and treat regressions as defects rather than nice-to-fixes.

• Ruby on Rails monolith (the core application), plus Java/Kotlin Spring Boot REST services.
• PostgreSQL on AWS Aurora, Apache Pulsar messaging and a Debezium-based ETL pipeline.
• AWS Neptune (graph) and AWS OpenSearch.

• CI/CD on GitHub Actions.
• Monitoring with Datadog.
• Infrastructure as code with Terraform.

• SAFe, Jira, Confluence, Slack and Google Workspace. MacBook Pro.

• Microfrontend or module-federation experience; Rails or JVM familiarity; Terraform and CI/CD depth; graph or search infrastructure.
• Hands-on experience using AI coding assistants and agents, such as Claude Code, as part of your day-to-day workflow to navigate, map, and accelerate work in a large codebase.

• An async, trust-based culture:
• True Autonomy, No Micro-management: We don’t track your hours or care when or where you log in; we focus entirely on your impact and results.
• Trust & Availability: The rules are simple: show up for your scheduled meetings, keep the team updated if you step away, and be there to support your teammates when they need a hand.
