React Software Engineer

Overview

GovCIO is looking a React Software Engineer to rebuild our customer-facing applications from the ground up. Today, our applications are primarily built with a legacy Spring Boot + Thymeleaf architecture. Our goal is to evolve to a modern, scalable front-end platform that separates the user experience from backend services and embraces modern DevSecOps practices.

We're looking for an experienced React engineer who can help lead this transformation. This is not a maintenance role—it is an opportunity to define the architecture, engineering standards, and development practices that will power our next generation of applications.

You'll work closely with architects, backend engineers, DevOps, security, and product teams to build fast, secure, maintainable web applications while establishing best practices across the organization. This position will be located within the United States and will be a fully remote opportunity.

Responsibilities: * Lead the design and development of modern customer-facing web applications using React and TypeScript. * Help define the future front-end architecture, including component libraries, state management, routing, authentication, and API integration patterns. * Modernize legacy applications by migrating from server-rendered Spring Boot/Thymeleaf applications to a decoupled front-end architecture. * Collaborate with backend teams to build clean REST and GraphQL APIs that support modern web experiences. * Establish engineering standards for code quality, testing, accessibility, performance, and security. * Design and implement CI/CD pipelines for front-end applications within a DevSecOps environment. * Integrate automated testing, static analysis, dependency scanning, and security validation into the development lifecycle. * Champion reusable UI components, shared design systems, and consistent engineering practices across applications. * Mentor engineers and help grow modern front-end development ca
