Senior Software Engineer - Frontend

Amper is a rapidly-growing IoT startup that helps manufacturers unleash their potential with modern software to run operations.

We build a simple but powerful platform that helps manufacturers reduce costs, increase visibility, and drive efficiency. We believe in keeping things simple and easy-to-understand - and our culture and products are a reflection of that. For example, it takes a few minutes to self-install Amper on any kind of industrial machine - like a consumer device and without the traditional hassle of integration.

Our vision is to build the market-leading FactoryOS to enable cutting-edge operations, and we are investing in the next level of growth across our GTM and product teams. We are a venture-backed startup with a distributed team and HQ in Chicago.

We’re growing our engineering team and we’re looking for a Senior Front End Engineer to take ownership of our front end development, tooling, and developer experience. While some full-stack work will be expected, your primary focus will be on enhancing the user interface and overall experience of our platform.

This is a remote-friendly role with the option to work from our Chicago or San Francisco offices. We support flexible work while valuing the collaboration and speed that come from working together in person.

The Role

Working as a Senior Front End Engineer at Amper means working in a wide variety of contexts. Our front ends are largely built with React, alongside some third-party tools. We build for both web and mobile, ensuring a seamless experience across platforms. You will also work on improving our development tooling and processes to enhance productivity and maintain high-quality standards.

Being an engineer at Amper also means being a “product person.” Our engineers don’t just move tickets from pile A to pile B. Led by a Product Owner, you'll help us work through new ideas and figure out the best way to implement them.
