Front-End Software Engineer

About the role

Knaq builds IoT monitoring technology for industrial equipment that combines custom-built hardware with cloud-based analytics and AI. The hardware sends real-time data to cloud infrastructure that presents live equipment information, alerting, and predictive analytics. As a Front-End Software Engineer, you’ll own the customer‑facing side of the platform, building the React dashboard used by customers at major airports, hospitals, and transit systems to track equipment status, availability, and fault history. This is a full‑time, in‑person position in Lower Manhattan, New York City.

Responsibilities

• Build and own features in our React dashboard, from component design through production deployment.
• Design interfaces that make real‑time equipment data, availability metrics, and fault history readable at a glance.
• Build data visualizations and reporting views that customers use for maintenance planning and vendor accountability.
• Work closely with backend engineers to shape the APIs your views depend on.
• Own front‑end performance, responsiveness, and cross‑browser behavior as the device fleet scales.
• Participate in code reviews and production deployments via GitHub, and use AI‑assisted development tools (e.g., Claude, Copilot) effectively.

Requirements

• 2+ years of professional front‑end engineering experience building and shipping production web applications.
• Strong proficiency in React and modern JavaScript/TypeScript, including state management and component architecture.
• Solid CSS and layout skills, with an eye for clean, functional design.
• Experience consuming REST APIs and working with real‑time or frequently updating data.
• Comfortable with Git/GitHub workflows, CI/CD, and production deployments.
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of features from design through delivery.
• Bonus: Experience with data visualization libraries (D3, Recharts, or similar), design tools like Figma, dashboard‑heavy or IoT products, or light backend work in Node or Python.
