About the role

Who you are

  • This is an intermediate role — ideal for someone who has real production experience in React and TypeScript, is confident navigating a modern front-end codebase, and is looking to grow through collaboration, ownership, and impact
  • You’ve worked in a front-end role at a SaaS company or on a product team, and you’re comfortable shipping features with real users and real deadlines
  • You write clean, maintainable code and enjoy working closely with design and product to bring thoughtful interactions to life
  • Experience working on high-usage interfaces or data-rich applications is an asset
  • This role requires both technical confidence and curiosity — someone who wants to build an excellent UI, but is also motivated by learning how users work and how to make their experience better
  • 3+ years of professional front-end development experience
  • Strong proficiency with React, TypeScript, HTML, and CSS
  • Experience integrating APIs and working within a modern front-end toolchain (e.g. Vite, Webpack, npm, ESLint)
  • Familiarity with Git workflow (pull requests, branches, code reviews)
  • Experience writing automated tests (unit, integration, and E2E)
  • Understanding of front-end performance principles and accessibility best practices
  • Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset
  • Experience with design systems and scalable component libraries
  • Familiarity with GraphQL
  • Experience working closely with product designers

What the job involves

  • As a Front-End Developer (Software Developer III) on our Build Reviews Team, you’ll bring modern, user-focused front-end skills to an evolving platform used by global engineering teams
  • You’ll work with designers, product managers, and back-end developers to build responsive, performant, and accessible UI experiences — helping CoLab users engage with complex data and workflows in simple, intuitive ways
  • Success Will Be Measured By:
  • On-time delivery of user-facing features and enhancements
  • Code that’s scalable, accessible, and easy to maintain
  • Clear communication and collaboration across teams
  • Proactive ownership of tasks and awareness of broader technical context
  • Contributions to front-end best practices and continuous improvement
  • Build and maintain UI features using React, TypeScript, and our internal component library
  • Work with product and design to translate user needs into front-end solutions
  • Develop, test, and ship changes regularly as part of sprint-based releases
  • Participate in code reviews and contribute to front-end architecture decisions
  • Advocate for performance, accessibility, and usability across the platform
  • Collaborate with back-end and infrastructure teams to integrate APIs and optimize workflows
  • Help maintain and improve our testing practices using tools like Cypress or Playwright
  • Share your knowledge and learn from others — mentorship is a two-way street

Benefits

  • Health and dental insurance (covered at 100% for the employee)
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Remote/Hybrid Work: Our main office location is in St. John's, NL where we offer hybrid and remote opportunities

About CoLab Software

Software Development
51-200

Your most critical product decisions are made everyday in design reviews.

But as products get more complex and teams become larger and more specialized, the design review process looks the same as it did 10-20 years ago.

So what happens?

-43% of design feedback is never documented or addressed -87% of engineering leaders say it takes hours or days to trace the rationale behind a single design decision -90% of companies have product launch delays due to late-stage design changes.

These problems won’t be solved by more meetings, better PLM workflows or increased pressure to keep slide decks and spreadsheets up-to-date. These are problems that require a completely new way for engineering teams to work together.

CoLab is a cloud based platform purpose built for fast, effective design review. Using CoLab, multiple engineers, designers, and other stakeholders can review designs together and build off one another's feedback.


CoLab makes it easy to review the right data (including CAD) with all the right people, capture useful feedback, and track issues through to action. CoLab pulls together design discussions previously lost in emails, spreadsheets, and notebooks into a single platform that integrates back into PLM. We call it a Design Engagement System.
