Senior Front-End Engineer

Remote, United States

Change Research conducts research to understand public opinion. We aim to democratize access to public opinion research, in order to create a world where leaders have near-constant contact with the pulse of public opinion and can make more informed decisions. As a Public Benefit Corporation, we seek to make the world more humane, scientific, and just; as a technology company, we seek to innovate and re-define what it means to measure public opinion.

About The Role

This is a full-time, remote position reporting to the Technical Lead. We’re seeking an experienced senior front-end engineer who will play a key role in developing our go-to-market offerings for providing public-opinion research data at scale, and iterate on our products in collaboration with our product, sales, and polling teams.

You’ll be responsible for architecting and developing front-end solutions for our AI-powered client-facing data portal and internal pollster tools. This includes building intuitive interfaces for our RAG-based search and analysis features, implementing responsive visualizations for complex polling data, and creating efficient workflows that help both clients and pollsters leverage insights effectively.
We are a team of engineers who are comfortable wearing multiple hats when necessary, so back-end engineering experience is a plus.

Core Responsibilities

Build

  • Design and implement the front end for our AI-powered data portal, with a focus on discovery and analysis features and an eye on accessibility
  • Develop and maintain internal tooling for pollsters, focusing on efficiency and usability for complex data analysis workflows
  • Maintain existing front-end applications as we move to unifying into our new platform
  • Become the subject matter expert on front-end development and design on our growing product engineering team

Innovate

  • Try new things and not be afraid to fail; be able to re-adjust quickly based on new findings without burning too many resources.
  • Create novel patterns to visualize and interact with AI-generated insights from polling data

Communicate

  • Speak directly with users, both internal and external, to help refine the UI/UX of our products
  • Be the evangelist for your features and spread adoption
  • Do your best to treat your teammates and co-workers with kindness and respect
  • Document and train the cross-functional team on how to best use the software you’ve built to get more done

About you:

  • 5+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, building front-end web applications. Less experience may be considered in certain circumstances.
  • Sharp eye for product design with experience leading design projects from start to finish – from initial wireframes to final UI
  • Comfortable making design decisions independently and have a track record of shipping polished interfaces without dedicated design support
  • Some experience or eagerness to learn our tech stack:
    • React, Next.js on Vercel
    • Typescript, Tailwind CSS, Shadcn, Charka UI
    • Streamlit
    • Back-end stack includes:
      • Python
      • FastAPI
      • Postgres
      • Docker and container orchestration
      • Pandas
    • GCP / BigQuery / Cloud Run
    • Developer tooling includes:
      • Github Actions
      • Github Copilot and Anthropic Claude
      • VS Code/Jetbrains
  • Excited by creating novel patterns around interacting with survey data using AI
  • Comfortable working directly with customers, data scientists, pollsters, and other cross-functional teammates, able to work with a variety of personalities
  • Enthusiastic, professional, and kind
  • Startup-minded: you plug holes, get things done, feel comfortable pushing to define products, and improve systems
  • When designing systems and writing code, you bias towards simplicity, usability, and readability over complexity
  • Energized by the opportunity to translate complex research data into actionable insights that drive decisions and policymaking
