Full Job Description
About Canals
Canals is a fully remote, profitable startup transforming the industrial supply chain ($10T industry) with AI. Our platform seamlessly integrates with the systems distributors already use, automating tedious tasks and reducing failure points in moving physical goods across the globe.
We’re a 70-person team (~45 in engineering), located across North and South America.
The Opportunity
Canals is growing quickly, and the complexity of what we’re building is too. We’re looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer to help us design and build rich, performant web applications that make intricate supply-chain operations simple and intuitive.
You’ll own major parts of our frontend architecture, collaborate closely with product and design, and bring beautiful, highly-usable experiences to life. This is a high-impact role for someone who loves turning messy real-world workflows into elegant, reliable interfaces.
What You’ll Do
Build and maintain core frontend features using React, TypeScript, and modern web tooling.
Own large, complex UI projects end-to-end — from architecture and implementation to polish and performance.
Collaborate with product designers and backend engineers to translate business logic into intuitive interfaces.
Shape and evolve our design system and component libraries for consistency and speed.
Optimize performance, accessibility, and reliability across browsers and devices.
Review code, mentor teammates, and help raise the overall technical bar of the frontend team.
What You'll Bring
Typically, 5+ years of professional experience in frontend or full-stack engineering.
Expert-level knowledge of React, TypeScript, and modern JavaScript/HTML/CSS.
Proven experience shipping complex, data-driven web apps in production.
Deep understanding of frontend architecture, state management, and API integration patterns.
An eye for design and empathy for users — you care about how things look and feel.
Strong communication and collaboration skills in a remote, async environment.
Experience with Next.js, GraphQL, or frontend performance optimization is a plus.
