Senior Software Engineer (Frontend)

CargoX is a UAE-based autonomous logistics company deploying driverless delivery platforms across last-mile, middle-mile and long-haul routes. CoreConnect is its fleet orchestration platform and the digital glue within its ecosystem of autonomous mobility in logistics. It gives organizations a unified platform to track, manage, and integrate autonomous platforms, connects with the wider operations ecosystem, and optimizes fleet utilization through data insights and reporting.

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer (Frontend) who prioritizes system reliability and product impact. You will be the driving force behind developing a responsive Web App following PWA standards that serves as the primary interface for the CoreConnect ecosystem. We value engineers who operate with a high degree of autonomy, technical pragmatism, and a commitment to operational excellence.

We are specifically looking for candidates who demonstrate ownership, pragmatism, and feel comfortable with navigating ambiguity.

Key Responsibilities

• Architectural Decisions:

  Design, implement, and optimize a resilient, SSR-first Web App built on Next.js, making deliberate choices between React Server Components and client components and between server and client rendering strategies.

• You will ensure the PWA features an Optimistic UI and resilient data synchronization capabilities to guarantee data integrity in connectivity-challenged environments and optimize performance through server-side data fetching and bundle control.

• Feature Delivery

  : Develop data and map-driven interfaces providing real-time views of granular operations.

• Workflow Integration:

  Assist in creating visual UI components, such as a Workflow Designer, to dynamically define robot, order, and mission lifecycles.

• Technical Stewardship:

  Define and enforce standards for frontend performance, security, accessibility, and observability.

• Navigating Ambiguity:

  Comfortably translate high-level product goals into technical requirements and proactively collaborate with stakeholders to define scope and build iterative prototypes.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration:

  Partner closely with Product, Engineering Leadership, and DevSecOps to build high-quality solutions that drive measurable business outcomes.

• Engineering Culture

  : Mentor engineers, lead rigorous code reviews, introduce process improvements, and foster a culture of operational excellence.

Qualifications

• Experience & Education:

  Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science or other relevant fields and 5+ years of professional experience in software engineering, with a mandatory focus on TypeScript and Next.js or React.

• Next.js & Rendering Architecture:

  Hands-on experience with SSR-first architectures in Next.js, a strong understanding of React Server Components and server/client rendering strategies, and a track record of optimizing performance via server-side data fetching and bundle control.

• Real-Time Data & Integrations:

  Experience managing high-frequency, real-time data streams in the browser (e.g., WebSockets, Server-Sent Events) and implementing scalable state management. Proven ability to integrate complex APIs and build Optimistic UIs with robust offline-first synchronization.

• Mindset & Execution:

  Proven ability to navigate ambiguity, balance architectural purity with commercial objectives (managing technical debt, shipping MVPs), and take full ownership of the code lifecycle and frontend incident management (root-cause analysis and prevention of UI/client-side failures).

• Security & Quality:

  A consistent focus on software quality and frontend security best practices (e.g., XSS prevention, secure token handling). Hands-on experience in automated testing (unit, integration, and E2E testing suites) and setting up frontend performance monitoring and observability tooling.

• Collaboration:

  Ability to interpret technical requirements and deliver high-quality code with minimal defects. Proactively seeks feedback during code reviews and collaborates effectively with peers to solve technical blockers.

• Complementary Expertise:

• Backend Proficiency:

  Practical experience working with backend languages (Java, Kotlin, Python, Rust, Ruby, or Go) and developing or integrating with REST APIs or GraphQL services.

• Infrastructure & DevOps:

  Mastery of cloud environments, specifically AWS and Kubernetes (EKS), along with CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or Helm).

• Industry Experience:

  Direct background in logistics, robotics, fleet management systems or experience in developing mission-control dashboards, high-density or geospatial data (GIS) visualization

• Communication:

  Fluency in Business English is a must.
