Position: Senior React Frontend Developer

Salary: $120,250 - $146,250 + stock options.
Focal Systems is the industry leader in retail AI solutions. We are headquartered in San Francisco, California with operations in Canada and the UK, and a tech-hub in Poland. We are a Deep Learning first company. Our mission is to automate and optimize brick and mortar retail using deep learning computer vision. Focal Systems has been deployed at scale with some of the top retailers in the world.
We seek smart, creative and passionate people who want to help build a great and enduring company and deploy Deep Learning to the world!
What We're Looking For
We're looking for a frontend engineer (React/TypeScript) who thinks like a full-stack engineer - someone who takes full ownership of the products they build. You'll need to be an open and dynamic communicator who thrives in remote work environments and knows how to stay connected with your team across distances.
Your work will directly impact employees at major grocery retail chains. You'll collaborate with exceptional engineers who can solve any problem thrown at them—and we expect the same from you.
You'll face challenges that require digging for information across the organization and, critically, validating whether the solution you're building actually makes sense and delivers value to customers. We're not looking for someone who just completes tasks—we need someone who solves customer problems. We want someone who works on products, not tickets. Someone who can balance time invested against value delivered.
Sometimes you'll need to quickly prototype something in production to validate an idea. Other times, you'll build features from scratch iteratively. Our problem space is broad, so frequent context switching is the norm here. We use AI tools not because they're trendy, but because they genuinely accelerate our work.
What you will do
Strong Values and Mission - We are a tightly-knit team with an ambitious mission and a strong set of core values, which define our approach to business and have successfully guided us since inception.
Exceptional Team - We are a team of hard-working, fun-loving professionals from some of the most eminent universities, research labs, and tech companies of our time. We pride ourselves on recruiting exceptional individuals to help us redefine the state-of-the-art.
Outstanding Partners - We work with 10+ of the largest retailers in the world and have a world-class roster of investors, advisors and partners to support & advise us in our endeavors.
What We Offer
We care deeply about the health, happiness, and wellbeing of all of our employees. We offer:
