Location: Remote

Role Overview:

We are looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer to lead the development of a modern web-based management UI for BeeGFS, our high-performance parallel file system. This role focuses on building a robust, intuitive, and safe administrative interface used to operate and manage large-scale storage systems.

This is a hands-on senior role with significant ownership and autonomy. You will design and implement a TypeScript based single-page web application using a modern frontend framework that interacts with a Go-based REST API and serves as the primary graphical interface for BeeGFS administration.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Own the end-to-end user experience and interaction design of the BeeGFS Web UI in the absence of dedicated UX designers.
  • Implement and maintain a single-page application using TypeScript and a modern frontend framework for administering and monitoring BeeGFS.
  • Define and implement interaction flows and workflows for complex, stateful, and potentially destructive operations.
  • Build data-heavy UI components (tables, status views, configuration editors) that scale to large clusters managing millions or billions of files.
  • Implement real-time or near-real-time updates (e.g., status, events, job progress) in the UI.
  • Handle authentication-aware UI flows and permission-sensitive functionality.
  • Consume backend REST APIs via generated, strongly typed clients.
  • Collaborate closely with backend engineers to shape API design, usability, and evolution.

Requirements:

  • Ability to design usable interfaces for complex technical systems without dedicated UX designers.
  • Strong proficiency with TypeScript and at least one modern frontend framework, with experience building complex web applications.
  • Experience building SPAs that interact with backend APIs (REST/JSON).
  • Experience working with API specifications (OpenAPI or equivalent) and generated clients.
  • Strong attention to correctness, edge cases, and failure modes.
  • Ability to work independently while collaborating closely with backend-focused engineers.
  • Clear communication skills and comfort working in a remote distributed team.
  • Comfortable working in open-source or publicly available codebases.

Nice to have:

  • Familiarity with API-driven frontend development workflows.
  • Comfort reading and making small contributions to Go-based backend services.
  • Experience with infrastructure, storage, or distributed systems tooling.
  • Experience building administrative or control-plane UIs.
  • Exposure to authentication/authorization concepts (OIDC, RBAC).
  • Experience with real-time UI updates (SSE or WebSockets).

 Why Join Us?

  • Work on BeeGFS, a leading parallel file system deployed in high-performance computing and AI environments worldwide.
  • Opportunity to build and evolve a first-class management UI for a complex distributed system.
  • Operate in a high ownership and impact role with broad autonomy.
  • Participate in a small, senior team with direct collaboration and short feedback loops.
