Job Description for Senior Frontend Engineer

Job Title: Senior Frontend Engineer

Company: Mydbops

Job Overview:

We’re building an agentic AI database platform where intelligent automation meets intuitive design. Join our small, execution-focused development team powered by deep database expertise as we redefine how teams monitor and optimize database performance.

About Mydbops

Mydbops helps fast-growing teams and unicorns run mission-critical databases with speed, scale, and reliability. Trusted by 800+ clients, including 30+ unicorns, we optimize and manage systems like MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MariaDB, TiDB, and Cassandra, powering 10B+ transactions daily across industries such as fintech, SaaS, healthcare, logistics, and e-commerce.

With 9+ years of deep expertise, we build automation tools, lead complex migrations, and solve high-impact performance and database challenges. We are ISO and PCI-DSS certified, combining engineering excellence with enterprise-grade security and compliance.

Role:

You'll architect and build our frontend from the ground up, crafting a modern, production-ready agentic AI application that makes complex database insights clear, accessible, and actionable. In this high-impact role, your technical decisions will shape how our platform scales and evolves.

What You'll Own

• Design and implement the entire frontend architecture using modern technologies
• Build responsive, performant UIs that handle real-time data and complex user workflows
• Collaborate closely with backend and AI teams to define system boundaries, advocate for optimal data flows, and craft experiences that make AI accessible
• Establish engineering standards for testing, CI/CD, and code quality
• Balance technical excellence with product intuition and a deep focus on user experience

What We're Looking For

Core Requirements:

• 3 to 5 Years building production frontends with proven performance, security, and architectural ownership
• Strong proficiency in React, TypeScript, and modern component-based architecture
• Deep knowledge of authentication, RBAC, session management, and frontend security best practices
• Experience with state management (e.g., Redux, Zustand) and integrating complex or real-time APIs
• Strong design intuition with exposure to design systems, responsive UX, and accessibility standards
• Experience building real-time UIs, data visualizations, or telemetry dashboards
• Familiarity with data visualization libraries like Recharts, D3, Chart.js, or similar open-source solutions
• A track record of clean, maintainable code and a proactive ownership mindset

Culture Fit

We value execution over meetings, ownership over hand-holding, and long-term thinking over quick fixes. We're looking for someone who:

• Takes initiative and drives projects to completion independently
• Writes clean, maintainable code with testing in mind
• Cares equally about performance, security, and user experience
• Balances technical debt with product velocity and user impact

This role likely isn't a fit if:

• You need daily task breakdowns to make progress
• You haven't built and shipped production-grade applications end-to-end
• You avoid dealing with performance, authentication, or architecture
• You prefer polishing UI components over solving deep product problems

Ready to help build intelligent database performance tools? We'd love to hear from you.
