This role is ideal for someone who is comfortable working across evolving systems and helping modernize the frontend over time while continuing to deliver value in the present.

We are building a modern, high-velocity software team in Pittsburgh and value engineers who thoughtfully use AI-assisted tools to accelerate prototyping, implementation, testing, debugging, and delivery. The position requires on-site collaboration five days per week.
