Job Summary

Circadence is hiring a Staff Front End Engineer to lead the development of the RangeGPT user interface—a cutting-edge cyber range design and analysis tool that combines a WYSIWYG canvas editor with LLM-driven agentic workflows.

You’ll be responsible for building and owning the front end of RangeGPT V1.0, bringing to life a visual system that allows cybersecurity professionals to design, deploy, and analyze complex infrastructure with minimal friction using drag hybrid drag-and-drop and language-driven interface. This is a highly impactful role for an advanced engineer with deep front-end expertise and a strong product sense.

You’ll thrive here if you know how to build modern, maintainable React systems, enjoy solving UI challenges in graph-based design tools, and want to help define what “usable AI tooling” looks like.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect and evolve the front-end codebase using React, TypeScript, and modern libraries (e.g., Next.js, React Router, MUI/Tailwind).
• Lead the design and implementation of scalable component frameworks, UI state models, and interaction patterns for RangeGPT's WYSIWYG interface.
• Work cross-functionally with AI, backend, and product teams to translate agentic workflows and LLM outputs into intuitive visual interactions.
• Build interfaces that combine real-time topology visualization, interactive assistants, and deployment feedback loops.
• Develop and/or implement algorithms for auto-layout mechanisms for canvas-based visual components.
• Champion frontend best practices in testing, performance optimization, accessibility, and maintainability.
• Own and guide technical decisions related to client-side architecture, tooling, and delivery pipelines (CI/CD, bundling, testing).
• Mentor and unblock other engineers, contributing as a force multiplier for team velocity and code quality.
• Stay current with frontend and AI-integrated UX trends and evaluate new technologies and frameworks for fit.

Required Qualifications

• 7+ years of professional experience in front-end or full-stack roles with a strong UI focus including prior senior-level positions.
• Expert-level proficiency in React + TypeScript, with deep experience in architecting complex SPAs.
• Proven experience owning frontend frameworks and design systems used by cross-functional teams.
• Strong command of UI testing strategies (unit, integration, and end-to-end), with hands-on use of tools like Playwright.
• Demonstrated success building visual or diagram-based tools, real-time collaborative apps, or agent-integrated interfaces.
• Familiarity with API design, async orchestration patterns, and integrating LLM-driven workflows or assistants.
• Comfortable with containerized development (Docker) and frontend CI/CD workflows.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with canvas-based editors, node graph libraries like XYFlow or ReactFlow, or developing low-code/no-code platforms.
• Exposure to LangGraph, function/tool calling, or semantic retrieval (RAG) systems.
• Background in cybersecurity, DevOps automation, or infrastructure-as-code platforms.
• Familiarity with MCP (Model Context Protocol) or related cyber range orchestration systems.
