About the Role

Cogent Security is redefining how AI can proactively defend organizations against evolving threats. As a Staff Frontend Engineer, you will own the frontend platform and experience that enables customers to visualize, understand, and act on complex security data with confidence.

This is a Staff+ caliber role: you’ve operated at least at Staff, Senior Staff, or Principal Frontend Engineer level at some point in your career, and you’re excited to set the technical direction for a brand-new platform. You will design the frontend infrastructure, build “golden” component libraries, and make the platform AI-friendly, all while continuing to ship customer-facing features.

You’ll combine deep architectural thinking with hands-on development, ensuring that our frontend stack is both elegant and resilient as we scale. Over time, you’ll help mentor other frontend engineers and we will build a team around the foundations you create.

What You’ll Do

  • Define Frontend Architecture – Establish the core architecture and patterns for our web applications, laying the foundation for long-term scalability and performance.

  • Build Golden Libraries & Platform – Create reusable component libraries and tooling that set the standard for quality and enable rapid, consistent development across the team.

  • Build AI-Driven, User-Focused Features – While setting up core frontend infrastructure, design and deliver high-impact features that seamlessly integrate AI-powered capabilities, ensuring clarity, usability, and reliability for complex security workflows.

  • Mentor and Influence – Serve as a mentor and technical leader for future frontend engineers; help us grow a team that values craftsmanship and excellence.

  • Drive Engineering Craftsmanship – Uphold high standards of code quality, attention to detail, and thoughtful design. Balance speed with sustainable engineering practices.

About You

  • Have operated at Staff+ level (Staff, Senior Staff, or Principal Frontend Engineer) at some point in your career.

  • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience

  • Deep expertise in React, TypeScript, and modern web application architecture.

  • Strong background in frontend infrastructure—component libraries, build systems, state management, and performance optimization.

  • Demonstrated ability to work autonomously, owning projects end-to-end with minimal oversight

  • Exceptional attention to detail and a passion for engineering craftsmanship.

  • Excellent collaboration and communication skills; thrive in fast-paced, high-impact environments.

Why Cogent Security

Cogent Security is redefining how AI can proactively defend organizations against evolving threats. Our mission is to empower security teams with cutting-edge AI agents and clear, actionable insights. You’ll join a high-slope engineering team where your work directly impacts the safety of some of the world’s most sophisticated organizations.
