Robotics will have a massive positive impact on the world economy and global human productivity over the coming decade. At Foxglove, we're excited for this future, and we're building powerful open source and commercial tools to accelerate it.
We're an experienced team of independent thinkers, with a passion for creating high quality products. We're looking for self-motivated and fast-learning individuals to join our mission.
About the role
We’re looking for a Frontend focused TLM who gets excited about solving complex product problems and pushing web technologies to the limit.At Foxglove, we’re building high-performance, deeply interactive tools for robotics and complex data visualization - far beyond typical frontend framework workflows. If you get excited about streaming massive datasets, pushing browser limits, and crafting workflows that surprise people with what’s actually possible in the frontend, this role might be for you.
- Architect and build high-performance, dynamic frontend applications that operate on large or real-time datasets
- Design and optimize complex UI workflows that feel snappy, even under heavy computational load
- Collaborate with product and design teams to create polished, intuitive user experiences for engineers and technical users
- Tackle performance bottlenecks across the stack: from JavaScript execution to data transfer and rendering pipelines
- Contribute to core build systems, framework architecture, and overall app reliability
- Explore creative solutions for non-traditional browser-based workflows (think: streaming data, GPU-backed rendering, large-scale interactivity)
- End-to-end ownership over features, working directly with our customers and community to understand requirements
- Manage the roadmap and an experienced team developing a cutting edge product

What we're looking for
- 8+ years experience in frontend or full stack engineering roles focused on complex product applications
- Strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript, along with modern frameworks like React
- Deep knowledge of frontend performance optimization, browser internals, and debugging tools
- Experience handling large datasets in the frontend—buffering, streaming, or visualizing complex information
- Familiarity with build tools (e.g., Vite, Webpack, esbuild) and optimizing development pipelines
- Experience working close to the metal: WebGL, WASM, or web workers is a plus
- Passion for building technical tools with engineers as the primary users
- Excellent written & verbal communication skills
- Ability to self motivate and thrive in a fast-paced, small team environment
Bonus points
- Experience building Electron-based desktop applications
