Role description
Svelte Front-End Developer (Svelte 5, TypeScript, Auth-Focused)
eDiscovery AIWe are seeking a Svelte Front-End Developer with strong TypeScript expertise and design sensibility to join our development team. This is a front-end–primary, hands-on coding role focused on building secure, high-performance user interfaces using Svelte 5, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS.
You will be responsible for implementing front-end solutions with a strong emphasis on authorization and authentication, working closely with backend services and APIs. While this is not a backend role, familiarity with Python APIs, C#, and SvelteKit’s backend-for-frontend (BFF) capabilities is highly valued.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building clean UI architecture, writing strongly typed code, and taking ownership of security-sensitive user experiences.
Important Note
This is a front-end–focused position. Core backend systems are maintained by a separate team. However, you will work closely with backend developers and may implement BFF logic using SvelteKit and TypeScript when appropriate.
Key Responsibilities
Develop and maintain Svelte 5 front-end applications using TypeScript
Implement UI components and layouts using Tailwind CSS
Utilize Svelte Runes for state and reactivity management
Build secure, scalable front-end solutions with a strong focus on authentication and authorization
Integrate front-end applications with RESTful APIs
Collaborate with backend developers on API contracts and data flows
Implement SvelteKit BFF patterns where front-end–owned backend logic is required
Ensure secure handling of user sessions, tokens, permissions, and role-based access
Optimize front-end performance, accessibility, and responsiveness
Debug and resolve front-end issues across browsers and devices
Maintain clean, readable, and well-documented TypeScript code
Participate in code reviews and technical problem-solving
(Bonus) Build or maintain supporting Python APIs or work with C# services as needed
Required Qualifications
3+ years of professional front-end development experience
Strong experience with Svelte (Svelte 5 preferred)
Strong preference for TypeScript over JavaScript
Experience using Tailwind CSS in production applications
Solid understanding of Svelte Runes
Deep understanding of authentication and authorization concepts
Token-based auth (JWT, OAuth, etc.)
Role-based and permission-based access control
Secure session handling
Experience integrating secure APIs into front-end applications
Strong understanding of front-end security best practices
Familiarity with Git and collaborative development workflows
Experience working within existing codebases
Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without current or future employer sponsorship
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with SvelteKit, including backend-for-frontend patterns
Experience building or consuming Python APIs (FastAPI, Flask, etc.)
Experience working with C# APIs or services
Familiarity with cloud-hosted environments
Design experience using tools such as Figma
Strong UI/UX instincts and attention to detail
Experience with front-end testing frameworks
Knowledge of performance optimization and accessibility standards
Experience documenting APIs or integration requirements
Local to Greater Minneapolis Area
AI-Assisted Development (Strong Plus)
Comfortable using AI tools (e.g., Copilot, ChatGPT, or similar) to:
Accelerate development
Improve code quality
Debug complex issues
Ability to critically evaluate AI-generated code rather than blindly accepting it
Interest in using AI as a productivity and quality multiplier, not a replacement for strong fundamentals
What We Offer
A front-end–centric role with meaningful ownership of user-facing experiences
High-impact work on security-sensitive, real-world applications
A collaborative engineering culture with minimal bureaucracy
Competitive compensation based on experience and skill
Flexible remote work options
Opportunities to work with modern tooling and frameworks
A team that values clean code, security, and thoughtful implementation
Final Note
This is an individual contributor role focused on front-end development with Svelte 5 and TypeScript. We are not seeking architects or backend-only engineers. However, candidates who enjoy full feature ownership including secure API integration and occasional BFF logic will thrive here.
