Description

About CoLab At CoLab, we want to help mechanical engineering teams bring life-changing products to market years sooner. CoLab is a cloud based platform for engineering design review. We make it easy for subject matter experts (SMEs) across your business to access, evaluate, and comment on 2D drawings and 3D models. Our built-in AI peer checker, AutoReview, scans designs for common errors or non-compliance with your standards and guidelines. AutoReview creates markups and comments on your files, in context – just like a human checker. With CoLab, human SMEs and AI work together to help you make better decisions and improve designs faster. We automatically capture knowledge from across your global business that would otherwise be buried in emails, spreadsheets, slide decks, and unknown locations in Sharepoint or PLM. Then, we make sure every lesson learned and every design guideline is applied exactly when it matters. Companies like Johnson Controls, Komatsu, Schaeffler, and Polaris have launched products 40% faster, cut BOM costs by 50%, and reduced quality escapes by 15% in 1 year. About the Role As a Front-End Developer (Software Developer III) on our Build Reviews Team, you’ll bring modern, user-focused front-end skills to an evolving platform used by global engineering teams. You’ll work with designers, product managers, and back-end developers to build responsive, performant, and accessible UI experiences — helping CoLab users engage with complex data and workflows in simple, intuitive ways. This is an intermediate role — ideal for someone who has real production experience in React and TypeScript, is confident navigating a modern front-end codebase, and is looking to grow through collaboration, ownership, and impact. Our Ideal Candidate You’ve worked in a front-end role at a SaaS company or on a product team, and you’re comfortable shipping features with real users and real deadlines. You write clean, maintainable code and enjoy working closely with design and product to bring thoughtful interactions to life. Experience working on high-usage interfaces or data-rich applications is an asset. This role requires both technical confidence and curiosity — someone who wants to build an excellent UI, but is also motivated by learning how users work and how to make their experience better. Success Will Be Measured By: On-time delivery of user-facing features and enhancements Code that’s scalable, accessible, and easy to maintain Clear communication and collaboration across teams Proactive ownership of tasks and awareness of broader technical context Contributions to front-end best practices and continuous improvement Job Responsibilities Build and maintain UI features using React, TypeScript, and our internal component library Work with product and design to translate user needs into front-end solutions Develop, test, and ship changes regularly as part of sprint-based releases Participate in code reviews and contribute to front-end architecture decisions Advocate for performance, accessibility, and usability across the platform Collaborate with back-end and infrastructure teams to integrate APIs and optimize workflows Help maintain and improve our testing practices using tools like Cypress or Playwright Share your knowledge and learn from others — mentorship is a two-way street Qualifications Required: 3+ years of professional front-end development experience Strong proficiency with React, TypeScript, HTML, and CSS Experience integrating APIs and working within a modern front-end toolchain (e.g. Vite, Webpack, npm, ESLint) Familiarity with Git workflow (pull requests, branches, code reviews) Experience writing automated tests (unit, integration, and E2E) Understanding of front-end performance principles and accessibility best practices Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset Nice-to-Have: Experience with design systems and scalable component libraries Familiarity with GraphQL Experience working closely with product designers Extra Details Compensation: This is a full-time, permanent position with an attractive compensation package that includes a stock options package. Benefits: This role offers an extended health and benefits package that includes unlimited paid vacation and RRSP matching. Remote/Hybrid Work: Our main office is located in St. John’s, NL, where we offer hybrid and remote opportunities. This role has the flexibility to work from anywhere within Canada. Equity Note Frequently cited statistics show that people who identify with historically marginalized groups are likely to apply to jobs only if they meet 100% of the qualifications. We encourage you to help us break that statistic and apply even if you don’t meet every single qualification — your potential is what matters most to us.
