Candidates must have current, unrestricted authorization to work in the country where the role is based.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"><strong>About Us</strong> Togetherwork is a $250M recurring revenue SaaS business with more than 33 software applications serving over 12 vertical markets. We help communities, organizations, and businesses thrive by delivering purpose-built software that supports their missions and operations.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">Headquartered on South Congress in Austin, TX, Togetherwork is scaling rapidly. We are customer-focused, execution-driven, and committed to operational excellence. Our teams value accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"><strong>About the Role</strong> Togetherwork is seeking a Frontend Engineer to incrementally modernize the user interfaces of 20+ SaaS products across a polyglot stack while keeping everything running for customers. Not prototyping — replacing live, production legacy UIs.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">You will work from Figma designs, leverage AI coding tools to accelerate implementation, and own the full journey from design handoff to backend integration. You are expected to use AI tools as a core part of your daily workflow.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"><strong>What You'll Do</strong></p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]">Legacy UI Modernization Incrementally replace server-rendered UIs with modern React components without breaking what is currently running. You understand the strangler pattern, know when to wrap versus replace, and scope modernization work into small shippable increments that are safe to deploy.</p> <ul> <li class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]">Figma to Production Take Figma designs from handoff to production-ready React components using AI tools to accelerate code generation, then apply the judgment to validate, refine, and ship. You know the difference between AI output that is ready to ship and output that needs to be reworked.</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]">Backend Integration Identify when a legacy server-rendered product needs API decoupling before the frontend can be modernized, and work with backend engineers to solve that problem.</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]">AI-Augmented Development Use AI models as active tools in your daily workflow, accelerating Figma-to-code implementation. You evaluate AI output critically and know when to accept, refine, or rewrite.</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]">Quality and Stability Implement feature flags for UI changes so rollback is always possible. Write unit and visual regression tests to catch when modernized components affect surrounding legacy UI. Own performance benchmarking before and after modernization to demonstrate measurable improvement.</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]">Cross-Functional Collaboration Work directly with designers on Figma handoff, product managers on scope and priority, and backend engineers on API contracts. Communicate modernization trade-offs clearly.</li> </ul> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"><strong>What You'll Bring:</strong></p> <ul> <li class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]">5+ years of experience as a frontend engineer</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]">Strong proficiency in React, TypeScript, JavaScript, and CSS.</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]">Hands-on experience modernizing at least one server-rendered legacy stack: PHP, Ruby on Rails, or .NET.</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]">Experience with incremental modernization patterns.</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]">Demonstrated use of AI coding tools to ship production frontend code.</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]">Figma handoff experience.</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]">Backend integration experience with understanding of API decoupling requirements.</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]">Proven frontend testing proficiency.</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]">Experience with feature flagging for safe incremental UI rollout.</li> </ul> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"><strong>Preferred Qualifications:</strong></p> <ul> <li class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]">Experience across multiple products or a platform engineering team simultaneously.</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]">Accessibility awareness (WCAG compliance) especially when modernizing legacy UI.</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]">Component library experience.</li> </ul> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"><strong>Why You'll Love Working Here</strong> At Togetherwork, we help community-driven organizations grow and thrive — creating better experiences for the people they serve.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">We are guided by values that shape how we work every day:</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]">Obsess over our customers Own it.
