Front End Engineer

Company: Edlink is a small, high-performing team building the data infrastructure that powers edtech. Our API helps 60M+ students and educators access the software they need to teach and learn. We solve hard problems — messy school data, ancient SIS platforms, massive scale — and we do it without red tape, meetings about meetings, or fluff. We're 23 people, all in on building fast, owning our work, and helping each other grow. We believe in high trust, deep work, strong opinions (held loosely), and building great tools that actually help people. No micromanagement. No bureaucracy. Just a team of sharp, kind engineers shipping great code and pushing each other to improve.

Role: As a Front End Engineer, you’ll focus on building clean UIs that help integrate thousands of school systems. You'll work across our stack, particularly with Vue 2/3 and TypeScript, interacting with our Node.js backend and Postgres database. You’ll also work directly with developer clients who use our API — think Stripe for edtech.

Responsibilities:
*   Develop, test, and maintain user-facing features using Vue 2/3 and TypeScript.
*   Collaborate with backend engineers to integrate APIs.
*   Ensure the technical feasibility of UI/UX designs.
*   Optimize applications for maximum speed and scalability.
*   Work directly with developer clients to understand their needs and improve our platform.

Technical Skills:
*   Proficiency in TypeScript and modern JavaScript frameworks (Vue.js 2/3 preferred).
*   Experience with front-end build tools and package managers.
*   Understanding of RESTful APIs and web services.
*   Familiarity with version control systems (e.g., Git).
*   Experience with our backend stack (Node.js, Postgres, Kubernetes) is a plus.

Ideal Candidate: You are a sharp, kind engineer passionate about building great user interfaces and experiences. You thrive in a high-trust, fast-paced environment, enjoy owning your work, and are eager to learn and help others grow. You have strong opinions, held loosely, and believe in building tools that genuinely help people.

Perks: Equity from day one, unlimited PTO, free downtown parking, paid parental leave, relocation support, and weekly team lunches.

Location: We’re in-person in Austin, TX because we believe startups build better products — and have more fun — when they work side by side.
