About the Role

At Alert Venture Foundry (AVF), we launch robotics startups from zero to one—blending embedded systems, real-time autonomy, and intuitive software. As these products evolve, user interfaces become essential—whether cloud-connected or running directly on the device.

We’re hiring a Frontend Software Engineer to lead the development of modern UIs that work both online and offline. You'll build React-based interfaces in TypeScript, powering web dashboards and locally hosted desktop apps (via Electron or similar). These tools help engineers, operators, and users interact with intelligent machines in clear, human-centered ways.

This is a primarily onsite position, 4 days per week in our Billerica, MA office + lab.

What you’ll do:

Build and maintain modern React frontends using TypeScript, for both browser-based and locally installed applications.
Develop cross-platform desktop apps using Electron or equivalent frameworks for edge environments.
Integrate UIs with cloud APIs, local services, and real-time telemetry pipelines.
Create interfaces for system monitoring, control, diagnostics, and insight.
Collaborate with robotics, backend, and design teams to ship fast and iterate often.
Write clean, well-structured, and maintainable frontend code with strong attention to UX.

What we’re looking for:

4+ years of experience building production-grade UIs with React and TypeScript.
Experience with Electron, Ionic + Capacitor, or another cross-platform desktop framework.
Strong understanding of component architecture, state management, and data-driven UI.
Comfortable integrating with backend systems via REST APIs, WebSockets, or local protocols.
Experience building interfaces for complex or technical systems.
BS or MS in Computer Science, HCI, or related field.

Preferred, but not required:

Experience working with or designing real-time data visualizations, dashboards, or control UIs.
Familiarity with ROS/ROS2 or middleware systems common in robotics.
UI/UX design capabilities or experience working closely with designers.
Experience with Shopify customization or front-end development in commerce platforms.
Understanding of deployment pipelines, test frameworks, or DevOps for frontend apps.

Why AVF:

Work at the interface between humans and robots, making autonomy more usable and trustworthy.
Build for both cloud-connected and edge-deployed systems, with full product ownership.
Join a high-agency, fast-moving team shaping the future of robotics through software.
Contribute from first prototype through to launch, shaping the foundation of new ventures.

AVF is an equal opportunity employer and values diverse perspectives. If you're passionate about clean frontends, real systems, and designing tools that bridge bits and atoms, we’d love to talk.
