Role Summary

We're hiring a Senior Engineer I to own significant portions of the frontend of the Censys Platform on the Core Services team. You'll be driving epic-scale work across account and integration management, user settings and controls, as well as the new product surfaces that bring Censys intelligence to life for analysts and security professionals worldwide. Working in close partnership with Design and Product to set direction, you’ll make architectural decisions, and ship high-quality experiences that enterprise customers depend on daily. Our stack is Remix and React with a rich TypeScript ecosystem, and we hold a high bar for testing discipline, accessibility, and long-term maintainability.

What You'll Do

  • Drive large frontend projects for enterprise account management, third party integrations, and the larger Censys Platform.
  • Surface new data types and product capabilities through well-architected, accessible UI
  • Partner closely with Design as a peer, translating their intent faithfully, while working to maintain quality and performance.
  • Work with Product to clarify requirements, negotiate scope, and keep epics moving forward
  • Provide an example of frontend quality for the team: testing standards, accessibility requirements, and component architecture decisions
  • Mentor engineers on frontend best practices and help shape how the team approaches frontend work at scale

 

What You'll Bring

  • 5+ years of software engineering experience with strong depth in React and TypeScript
  • Proven ability to drive epic-level frontend work end-to-end
  • Strong testing discipline: unit, integration, and end-to-end coverage
  • Solid accessibility fundamentals: WCAG standards, semantic HTML, keyboard navigation, and screen reader compatibility
  • System-level thinking for frontend: component architecture, state management, data-fetching patterns, and performance tradeoffs
  • Collaborative approach to working with Design and Product on future projects
  • Strong opinions loosely held

What Sets You Apart

  • Experience building or contributing to a shared component library or design system
  • Familiarity with backend APIs — you can read service contracts, have an informed conversation with backend engineers, and understand what's feasible
  • Experience with Remix or other server-rendered React frameworks
  • Security domain experience or genuine interest in the security intelligence space
  • Data visualization or complex table/grid UI work at scale
