ReelData AI is hiring a Senior Front-end Developer to lead the development of our dashboard used by aquaculture farms to understand fish appetite, weight and welfare.
As a Senior Front-end Developer, you’ll help shape the tools aquaculture operators use every day to monitor fish health, biomass, feeding, and tank performance. You’ll work across product, design, and back-end engineering to turn complex operational data into intuitive, reliable experiences used by customers in production.
This role is remote within Nova Scotia, with occasional visits to customer farm sites or the ReelData location in Dartmouth. Candidates must be legally able to work in Canada and able to support Nova Scotia-based work and travel requirements.
What you’ll do
- Lead front-end development for ReelData’s Operations Dashboard, working across biomass, welfare, feeding, tank monitoring, and analytics workflows.
- Translate product requirements, and customer feedback into design concepts and polished, accessible interfaces.
- Build and maintain reusable React and TypeScript components, data visualizations, tables, forms, and interactive workflows.
- Drive the design of the ReelData’s Operations Dashboard to meet usability standards.
- Integrate front-end experiences with GraphQL and REST APIs, partnering closely with back-end engineers on data contracts and performance.
- Improve application performance, including rendering large datasets, optimizing network requests, and reducing unnecessary re-renders.
- Help shape front-end UX, architecture, technical standards, and our approach to managing state, data fetching, and shared components.
- Write and maintain unit, integration, Storybook, and end-to-end tests.
- Participate in code reviews and provide thoughtful technical feedback to teammates.
- Investigate production issues, support releases, and help improve the reliability of our development and deployment processes.
- Work closely with product, design, customer-facing teams, and engineers across ReelData to deliver meaningful improvements.
What we’re looking for
- Several years of professional experience building and supporting production web applications.
- Experience owning product design direction and translating functional requirements into user friendly interfaces.
- A track record of owning features from early discovery through design, implementation, testing, release, and iteration.
- Experience building data-heavy interfaces, dashboards, charts, tables, or other complex operational workflows.
- Comfort working with GraphQL, REST APIs, asynchronous data, and client-side state management.
- Strong front-end fundamentals, including accessibility, responsive design, component architecture, and performance optimization.
- A practical approach to technical decisions and the ability to improve an existing codebase incrementally.
- Experience writing meaningful tests and maintaining quality as products evolve.
- Clear written and verbal communication, especially when discussing trade-offs and technical decisions.
- A collaborative mindset, with an interest in mentoring teammates and raising the quality of engineering practices.
- Comfort working independently in a small, fast-moving team where requirements can change as we learn.
Nice to have
- Experience with Apollo, Redux, Material UI, ApexCharts, or similar front-end libraries.
- Familiarity with Storybook, React Testing Library, Playwright, Vite, Bun, or Biome.
- Experience with Figma or other design tools.
- Experience working across the front-end/back-end boundary with Java, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, or PostGraphile.
- Experience with AWS, Docker, Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, or application observability.
- Experience building interfaces for industrial, IoT, computer vision, video, or other real-time systems.
- Experience working with internationalization, localization, or multi-site products.
- Experience in aquaculture, agriculture, robotics, or another operational technology domain.
- Comfortable using AI powered development tools
