Full Description

Senior Frontend Engineer Remote – North or South America | Full-Time | Canals AI About Canals Canals is a bootstrapped, profitable startup transforming wholesale distribution — a trillion-dollar industry — with AI. Our platform integrates directly with the systems distributors already use, automating tedious workflows and eliminating failure points in the movement of physical goods around the world. We’re a 55-person, fully remote team (40 in engineering) distributed across North and South America, operating at millions in ARR and scaling fast — all without outside funding. The Opportunity Canals is growing quickly, and the complexity of what we’re building is too. We’re looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer to help us design and build rich, performant web applications that make intricate supply-chain operations simple and intuitive. You’ll own major parts of our frontend architecture, collaborate closely with product and design, and bring beautiful, highly-usable experiences to life. This is a high-impact role for someone who loves turning messy real-world workflows into elegant, reliable interfaces. What You’ll Do • Build and maintain core frontend features using React, TypeScript, and modern web tooling. • Own large, complex UI projects end-to-end — from architecture and implementation to polish and performance. • Collaborate with product designers and backend engineers to translate business logic into intuitive interfaces. • Shape and evolve our design system and component libraries for consistency and speed. • Optimize performance, accessibility, and reliability across browsers and devices. • Review code, mentor teammates, and help raise the overall technical bar of the frontend team. What We’re Looking For • 5+ years of professional experience in frontend or full-stack engineering. • Expert-level knowledge of React, TypeScript, and modern JavaScript/HTML/CSS. • Proven experience shipping complex, data-driven web apps in production. • Deep understanding of frontend architecture, state management, and API integration patterns. • An eye for design and empathy for users — you care about how things look and feel. • Strong communication and collaboration skills in a remote, async environment. • Experience with Next.js, GraphQL, or frontend performance optimization is a plus. Why Join Canals • Bootstrapped & profitable: stable, product-led growth without VC chaos. • High ownership: work directly with founders and senior engineers; no layers of red tape. • Engineering-driven culture: we value craftsmanship, documentation, and autonomy. • Real-world impact: your work helps move physical goods more efficiently across the world. • Remote-first & flexible: collaborate with a top-tier team across the Americas.
