For engineers who care about the web itself, not just the framework of the month.\nHey there - we’re Kinship\nWe're building the Revit tools you wish existed. Our platform helps architects and engineers manage content, track usage, and make smarter decisions with less hassle.\nWe're looking for a frontend engineer who cares about the web itself. Someone who reaches for HTML and CSS first, treats JavaScript as something you add on purpose rather than by default, and judges their work by what users get: interfaces that are fast, accessible, resilient, and a pleasure to use.\nWe build with React today, and you'll work in it daily. We're not asking anyone to come in and rewrite everything from scratch. But we care far more about how well you understand the platform underneath than about which tools you're fluent in. Frameworks come and go; the web is versionless, and a real command of it compounds over an entire career.\nIn this role, you will:\nOwn user-facing features (advanced search, model usage dashboards, sync-rule management, interactive content previews) and sweat the details that make them feel effortless\n\nReach for the right tool for each problem: native HTML elements and modern CSS where they do the job well, React where it earns its place\n\nTreat performance and accessibility as first-class outcomes, not afterthoughts: quick on a mid-range device and a flaky connection, usable with a keyboard and a screen reader\n\nBuild and maintain shared component libraries and a frontend architecture\n\nTackle real frontend challenges: complex state, large datasets, keeping the UI fast and responsive across the app\n\nWork closely with designers, engineers and Revit experts\n\nWhat We're Looking For\nYou don’t need to tick every box, but here’s what would help you succeed:\nMust-haves\nA deep, hands-on command of HTML and CSS: semantics, layout, and modern CSS (cascade layers, container queries, :has(), logical properties, oklch(), whatever the job needs), plus an eye for spacing, states, and the details that make an interface just work\n\nFluency in JavaScript/TypeScript and React, comfortable in a modern component-based codebase and able to tell when a problem needs JavaScript at all\n\nA habit of progressive enhancement: build something that works, then layer on the nice-to-haves, so a slow network or an old device degrades gracefully instead of breaking\n\nHands-on in the browser's DevTools as a real debugging instrument, not just a place to dump console.logs. You can use the Performance panel to find what's blocking the main thread, read a network waterfall, throttle CPU and network to reproduce a user's bad day, and inspect the DOM and computed styles to track down a layout bug\n\nSeveral years (think 5+) building real things for the web, and experience reasoning about complex UI systems and state across a real app\n\nA strong eye for design and interaction, and a real appreciation for good UX\n\nYou question your defaults and don't pull in a library or reach for a framework feature just because it's there, and you can explain the calls you made\n\nNice-to-haves\nWeb-performance chops (Core Web Vitals, real-user vs. lab data, the cost of JavaScript on low-end devices)\n\nAccessibility experience (WCAG, testing with a screen reader)\n\nFamiliarity with the modern frontend ecosystem (Tailwind, Zustand, Radix, Framer Motion); useful, never the point\n\nExperience with Revit, 3D, or AEC tools\n\nHow we think about the web\nWe get excited about what the browser can already do. We'd rather use a view transition in a few lines of CSS than ship a single-page app to fake one. We think doing less work is usually faster than doing more, that every layer of abstraction is something you then have to maintain, and that the platform (versionless, resilient, quietly getting better while you sleep) is the safest thing to build on.\nSo we care a lot about fundamentals: progressive enhancement, semantic HTML, modern CSS done properly, accessibility that's built in rather than bolted on, and a healthy skepticism toward complexity for its own sake. We use React because it earns its place in our product, not because it's the default, and not as a substitute for understanding the platform beneath it. If that resonates, you'll fit right in.\nYou’re probably someone who:\nIs first and foremost a builder, and cares about the outcome as much as the ship date\n\nReaches for the simplest thing that works\n\nLikes being in the room where product decisions happen\n\nLoves shipping quickly and often, in person, with a small, motivated team\n\nIs curious about how the web works under the hood, and keeps learning\n\nValues calm focus, thoughtful collaboration, and a real sense of craft\n\nWhat We Offer\nCompetitive salary\n\nA beautiful, plant-filled office in central London (by Southwark tube station) and good coffee (obviously)\n\nA no-BS team of people who love building good software together\n\nReal autonomy and influence over product and tech decisions\n\nA company that believes in work-life balance","description_format":"text","description_chars":5084,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["CAD, PLM & BIM Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-11T21:59:50Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":5,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.186,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":509,"expected_fill_days":37,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-04T06:34:25Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":93700,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/kinship-product-engineer-frontend","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/kinship-product-engineer-frontend.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-04T09:56:25Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":15423,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-05T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":679207},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=679207"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fkinship-product-engineer-frontend"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fkinship-product-engineer-frontend"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fkinship-product-engineer-frontend"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/kinship-product-engineer-frontend\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fkinship-product-engineer-frontend"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":772870}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"kinship.io","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":772870},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
