The Role As part of NewtonX's growing Medellín engineering hub, you'll design and build the fast, reliable, modular user interfaces that power our research platform — sophisticated web applications, reusable component systems, and data-rich experiences built on top of our APIs. You'll work on a small, fast-growing engineering team (under 40 engineers) where individual contributors get in early and help shape the direction of our technology. This role partners closely with US-based engineering leadership and cross-functional teams. Fluency and confidence in English, written and verbal, is essential — you'll participate in technical reviews, planning, and design discussions with colleagues across time zones. What You'll Own Engineering & Delivery Design and develop modular, reusable, production-grade UI components and applications. Build performant, responsive web interfaces that consume RESTful APIs and handle real-time, data-heavy views. Contribute to solution design and participate actively in code review with other engineers. Perform debugging, resolve tech debt, and drive continuous code quality improvement. Uphold engineering standards across code review, testing, documentation, and CI/CD hygiene. Technical Contribution & Growth Help evaluate and influence the adoption of new technologies, languages, tools, and frameworks. Weigh in on architectural decisions with an eye toward scalability and maintainability. Pair program and mentor junior engineers as part of a growing local team. Cross-Functional Collaboration Work closely with Product, Design, and US-based Engineering leadership on priorities and platform direction. Communicate clearly and proactively across time zones, bridging any gaps between the Medellín and US teams. Participate in Agile/Scrum ceremonies and translate business priorities into well-scoped engineering work. What We're Looking For Required 3–4 years minimum experience as a software engineer, with strong React experience across multiple projects (tech stack: React, TypeScript, modern frontend tooling). Hands-on experience developing web applications that consume REST APIs. Experience with client-side state management and asynchronous data handling (e.g., React Query, Redux, or similar). Strong command of HTML, CSS, and responsive, cross-browser UI development. Comfortable working with modern frontend build and deployment pipelines (e.g., Vite, Webpack, or similar, behind CI/CD). Excellent English proficiency — clear, confident communication in writing and in cross-functional meetings with US-based leadership. Bachelor's degree or greater. Nice to Have Strong SQL experience with a common relational database; experience tuning PostgreSQL performance. Familiarity with cloud infrastructure and horizontally scalable systems (GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform, Cloudflare, or infrastructure-as-code). Full Stack Experience (Ideally in Python).
