Robotics will have a massive positive impact on the world economy and global human productivity over the coming decade. At Foxglove, were excited for this future, and were building powerful open source and commercial tools to accelerate it.

Were an experienced team of independent thinkers, with a passion for creating high quality products. Were looking for self-motivated and fast-learning individuals to join our mission.

About the role

We’re looking for a Frontend focused technical lead 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.

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
Manage the roadmap and an experienced team developing a cutting edge product

Location

We’re a small, fully remote, global company with team members primarily in the U.S. and Australia. We maintain Pacific Time hours and hire within ±4 hours of U.S. time zones to ensure effective collaboration.

For this position, were looking for someone in North American time zones, preferably on the West Coast.

What were looking for

8+ years experience in frontend or full stack engineering roles focused on complex product applications
Strong proficiency in 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
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
Robotics or AV industry experience
C++ or Rust experience
