Job description

About Ironflow AI About Ironflow AI Our mission is simple: to build software to help people build extraordinary things. We are building an AI-native ERP for aerospace, defense, and advanced manufacturing. Purchasing, inventory, planning, manufacturing, finance, and accounting: the core systems that determine whether companies can actually build and deliver. Much of the industrial base still runs on software architectures designed decades ago. We think that is now a strategic problem. Our mission is bigger than better software. If the United States and its allies need to build more ships, aircraft, missiles, drones, engines, satellites, and everything behind them, the companies doing that work need radically better systems. We are building Ironflow around five values that define how we work: hard work, excellence, kindness, creativity, and teamwork. We put in the effort and follow through. We take pride in our work and keep raising the bar. We treat people with care and respect. We explore possibilities and find better ways. And we help each other succeed while taking responsibility for the shared outcome. We are veterans, engineers, and operators who have lived the limitations of legacy systems firsthand. We are building the software we wish existed. Why This Role Matters Our product lives and breathes through its interface. As a frontend engineer, you’ll define the user experience for a system that blends structured chat, live updates, and dynamic visual components — not another grid of stale tables. You’ll bring clarity and momentum to complex workflows, helping users move faster and make better decisions at the edge of defense and manufacturing. What You’ll Own Architect and implement UI features using Next.js , React, and TailwindCSS Design structured chat and journey-based interfaces that mix conversation and action Build flexible dashboards, real-time tables, and intelligent form systems Connect to GraphQL and build a robust data interaction layer Support real-time UX: streaming updates, agent responses, and collaborative tools Define and evolve the design language in close partnership with design and product Optimize for performance, responsiveness, and developer velocity What You Bring 5+ years of frontend or full-stack experience in modern web applications Deep fluency with React, component architecture, and TypeScript Strong grasp of responsive design, TailwindCSS, and accessibility best practices Experience integrating GraphQL and managing complex client-side state Bonus: Experience integrating agentic AI / LLM with React user interfaces Bonus: Experience with Python/FastAPI for backend collaboration Bonus: Familiarity with Jest, Playwright, and other testing frameworks You care about polish and performance — and you love building tools that feel fast and elegant How We Work Everyone at Ironflow moves fast, solves real problems, and holds a high bar for craft. We expect you to lead, not just follow, and to build systems that stand up to real-world complexity while staying clean and maintainable.
