Senior Frontend Engineer, Visualization - San Francisco, CA
9 hours ago
Job description
Build the data infrastructure for robots operating in the real world.
Robotics is moving from research labs into production across factories, warehouses, vehicles, and field deployments. When robots fail, behave unexpectedly, or need to be improved, engineers rely on data to understand what actually happened.
At Foxglove, we build the observability, visualization, and data infrastructure that makes that possible. Our tools are used by robotics and autonomous systems teams to ingest, store, query, replay, and analyze massive volumes of multimodal sensor data from live systems and from production fleets.
About the role
We're looking for a Frontend Senior Software Engineer 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.
Key Responsibilities
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
Expand your knowledge of the robotics and self-driving industries
Work alongside an experienced team on a cutting edge product
What we're looking for
4+ years experience in frontend or full stack engineering roles focused on complex product applications
1+ years experience working in Autonomous Vehicles (AV), or related Robotics companies
Strong proficiency in Rust, 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
Deliver high‑quality work efficiently, often in a third of the time most think is possible
Ability to self motivate and thrive in a fast-paced, small team environment
Bonus points:
Experience building Electron-based desktop applications
Experience in 2D or 3D visualization
C++ experience
What We Offer
$300 monthly budget towards commuter benefits or building your personal workspace (remote only)
Competitive equity grant in a Series B company
Medical, Dental, Vision, and Term Life insurance coverage at 100% for employees and 75% for dependents
401(k) matching up to 4%
4 weeks vacation, plus holidays and winter break
All expenses paid company off-sites 1-2× per year
