Our Engineering team is continuing to grow and we are looking to add another Sr Front End Engineer!
Cofense, a leader in the cybersecurity industry with a mission to stop phish, is actively hiring User Interface / Front-End Software Engineers. Candidates must be US-based and comfortable with and capable of 100% remote work. We use Vue.js with TypeScript and maintain our own design library and shared component library.
As a UI/Front-End Engineer at Cofense, you will contribute to web-based user-interfaces across our entire suite of products. You will join a highly collaborative team that meets as a group every week to discuss what we have learned on our respective projects and determine how we can all apply these lessons across the company’s entire suite of products. As a company-wide team, we have developed and collectively maintain and evolve our internal design system, shared component library, and various utility/tooling libraries for use across all our products.
UI engineers have a prominent place in development, not only on the front-end of all our applications, but also in the design of the APIs that drive our UIs as well as the design of the applications themselves. Our collective work as one large UI team to ensure consistency among all codebases gives us the freedom to move between our applications. As a UI engineer at Cofense, you will be called upon yourself to work to unite all our applications for the benefit of the users (UX) and the developers working on and moving between these projects (DX). Our highly efficient onboarding process will help you get to a place where you can contribute something of value to shared Cofense UI projects by the end of your first week, as well as to your initial application project’s codebase by the end of your second week.

3. You will have a key role in shaping the experience for our users across all products. We have a saying at Cofense: "If you see something, say something."
