Senior Frontend Engineer (Vue.js) High Ownership

LON builds modern software for lenders operating in the wholesale and third-party origination (TPO) mortgage space. Our platform integrates with loan origination systems, pricing engines, mortgage insurance providers, and compliance vendors to create a unified, high-performance portal experience. We are looking for a highly skilled Vue.js engineer to lead the evolution of our frontend architecture. This role is not maintenance-heavy legacy work. While our system has roots in a traditional PHP framework, we are actively migrating toward a more modern, modular architecture. The frontend is a critical part of that evolution. You will play a central role in defining how our user experience is structured, componentized, and scaled. As a small, high-performing team, we expect strong ownership. Given a clear objective, you should be able to design the frontend architecture, implement it cleanly, and iterate independently. You will have meaningful influence over UI/UX structure, component patterns, state management strategy, and frontend performance. What You'll Do Lead the architecture and development of modern Vue.js applications. Design and maintain reusable, scalable component systems. Own frontend state management and data flow patterns. Collaborate with product to shape workflows before development begins. Build clean integrations with backend APIs and microservices. Refactor legacy frontend surfaces into modern Vue-driven experiences. Optimize performance, responsiveness, and usability. Write structured, maintainable code with appropriate test coverage. Participate in technical discussions around broader system evolution. What We're Looking For 5+ years of professional software development experience. Deep expertise in Vue.js (Vue 3 strongly preferred). Strong understanding of component architecture and state management patterns. Experience building complex, data-driven SaaS interfaces. Strong knowledge of modern frontend tooling (Vite/Webpack, npm, build systems). Experience integrating with RESTful APIs. Comfort operating independently in a small team. Strong attention to code quality, maintainability, and scalability. Nice to

Have:

Experience with TypeScript. Experience refactoring legacy applications into modern architectures. Familiarity with PHP or Python on the backend. Experience in fintech or mortgage technology. Knowledge of the Encompass API or LOS integrations. How We Work We are a small, technical team.

We value:

Clear thinking and high ownership. Independent execution. Strong opinions backed by sound reasoning. Clean, scalable code over quick hacks. Engineers who care about product, not just implementation. You will not be micromanaged. You will be trusted to own meaningful parts of the frontend architecture. We prefer candidates located in Seattle, as we work on a hybrid schedule, in office, next to Gasworks Park in Wallingford.
