Company Overview

We are partnering with an innovative, early-stage US-based startup that is revolutionizing the shipping industry. Their platform empowers shippers to dynamically manage freight spend through advanced workflows, insightful analytics, and root cause analysis — enabling faster and more informed decision-making.

Position: Senior Frontend Engineer (Vue.js) — Full-Stack a Plus 

Location: Remote 

Engagement: Part-Time to Full-Time

About the Role
We are looking for a strong frontend engineer with deep Vue.js experience who genuinely understands the frontend build process — not just writing components, but the tooling underneath them. You will own meaningful frontend work including migrating legacy webpack/bundler configurations to Vite, building out a widget system, resolving Storybook dependency issues in Docker, and cleaning up package management (the project currently uses yarn and may not need to).
This is a startup environment, so we value engineers who are curious, proactive, and have a high ownership mentality. You should be comfortable discussing technical decisions, not just implementing them. If you also have backend experience with Python and Django, that's a strong bonus — there are straightforward backend tasks you can flex into (or learn on the job).
What you will do

• Build and maintain frontend features using Vue.js
• Migrate existing webpack/bundler configurations to Vite across the application
• Build out a widget system and resolve Storybook dependency issues within Docker
• Evaluate and clean up package management tooling
• Integrate with Django-based backend APIs
• Work closely with product and design to translate requirements into high-quality, performant code
• Participate in code reviews and contribute to a culture of continuous improvement
• Troubleshoot and debug issues across the frontend — and the backend when needed

What we are looking for

• Strong frontend engineer with proven Vue.js experience
• Solid understanding of frontend build tooling — Vite, webpack, Docker, and how it all fits together
• Thoughtful about developer experience, dependency management, and build pipelines
• Comfortable working independently and making technical recommendations
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail
• Strong communication skills — you can articulate tradeoffs and propose solutions, not just execute tickets
• Available to start part-time with the potential to transition to full-time as the company grows

Nice to have

• Backend experience with Python and Django
• Familiarity with PostgreSQL and Google Cloud
• Experience in logistics, shipping, or freight management
• Knowledge of dynamic freight management, root cause analysis, or workflow enablement tools

What we offer

• Opportunity to join an early-stage startup solving real problems in a massive industry
• Flexible working hours and fully remote
• Collaborative, supportive team that values ownership and initiative

If you are a frontend engineer who cares about build quality as much as UI quality and wants real ownership at an early-stage company, we would love to hear from you.
