Staff Front-End Engineer

Edelman is a voice synonymous with trust, reimagining a future where the currency of communication is action. Our culture thrives on three promises : boldness is possibility, empathy is progress, and curiosity is momentum.

At Edelman, we understand diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) transform our colleagues, our company, our clients, and our communities. We are in relentless pursuit of an equitable and inspiring workplace that is respectful of all, reflects and represents the world in which we live, and fosters trust, collaboration and belonging.

We’re looking for an experienced Staff Front-End Engineer to join our growing, remote-first team at Edelman. This role reports to the Director of Software Engineering.

We develop AI-powered tools that drive real impact across Edelman’s global business — from media monitoring and strategic insights to content generation and reporting. These solutions are fueled by our proprietary data and Trust scoring system, and delivered through our internal platform. These agent-driven workflows help teams and clients automate routine work, enrich strategic decisions, and create brand-safe content at scale.

You’ll take ownership of front-end architecture across multiple applications and lead efforts to deliver performant, maintainable, and cohesive user experiences. You’ll lead by example—writing clean, scalable code, introducing front-end best practices, mentoring engineers, and collaborating across disciplines to build AI-powered products. Backed by large language models and generative AI, these applications are central to Edelman’s AI-first transformation. Your leadership will ensure our front-end stack evolves to meet the challenges and opportunities of integrating advanced AI into real-world, high-impact products.
