When you join Caterpillar, you're joining a global team who cares not just about the work we do – but also about each other. We are the makers, problem solvers, and future world builders who are creating stronger, more sustainable communities. We don't just talk about progress and innovation here – we make it happen, with our customers, where we work and live. Together, we are building a better world, so we can all enjoy living in it.

Cat Digital is the digital and technology arm of Caterpillar Inc., leveraging the latest technologies to build industry leading digital solutions for our customers and dealers. With over 1.5 million connected assets worldwide, our teams use data, technology, advanced analytics, telematics, and AI capabilities to help our customers build a better, more sustainable world.

Job Summary:

We are seeking a Lead Angular Developer to drive the design and development of next-generation applications. You will shape scalable full-stack architecture across Angular frontends, Node.js services and GraphQL APIs, and deliver intuitive, high-performance user experiences.

This is an AI-first engineering role. We expect you to use AI coding assistants like Claude and GitHub Copilot heavily and with good judgment every day, and to help the teams around you do the same. You will also be a strong collaborator who brings product, UX, backend, and AI partners together around shared outcomes.

What You Will Do:

  • Own and define frontend architecture across teams, including UI frameworks, state management, and application structure
  • Design and build GraphQL schemas, resolvers, and Node.js services that power real-time, data-rich frontend experiences
  • Establish engineering standards, reusable components, and best practices for long-term scalability across the frontend layers
  • Lead technical design reviews, guide implementation, and mentor team engineers
  • Partner closely with product, UX, backend teams. Build alignment, resolve trade-offs, and keep cross-team work moving toward integrated solutions
  • Ensure quality through automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, and application observability
  • Use AI tools as core parts of daily delivery across design, implementation, code review, refactoring, testing, and documentation
  • Drive AI-augmented delivery using Spec-Driven Development (SDD) to speed up work while keeping engineering rigor
  • Set team practices, guardrails, and quality gates for AI-assisted engineering, including prompt and spec patterns, review workflows, and verification standards for AI-generated code
  • Coach engineers on using AI tools effectively and share patterns, prompts, and workflows that raise productivity across teams

What You Will Have:

Decision Making and Critical Thinking: Knowledge of the decision-making process and associated tools and techniques; ability to accurately analyze situations and reach productive decisions based on informed judgment.

Software Integration Engineering: Knowledge of software integration processes and functions; ability to design, develop and maintain interfaces and linkage to alternative platforms and software packages.

Software Product Design/Architecture: Knowledge of software product design; ability to convert market requirements into software product design.

Software Product Technical Knowledge: Knowledge of technical aspects of a software product; ability to design, configure and integrate technical aspects of software products.

Software Product Testing: Knowledge of software product testing; ability to design, plan, and execute testing strategies and tactics to ensure software product quality and adherence to stated requirements.

Collaboration and Influence: Ability to build strong working relationships across functions, communicate technical ideas clearly to technical and non-technical audiences, and align teams around shared goals.

Consideration for Top Candidates:

  • Experience in software engineering, with strong expertise in frontend architecture
  • Experience leading a team of engineers, including across multiple time zones
  • Strong experience with Angular, RxJS, state management (NgRx or similar), JavaScript/TypeScript, and modern frontend design patterns
  • Hands-on experience building backend services with Node.js (Express, NestJS, or similar)
  • Strong experience designing and consuming GraphQL APIs (Apollo or similar), including schema design, subscriptions, caching, and performance tuning
  • Experience integrating real-time data systems (WebSockets, GraphQL subscriptions, event-driven architectures)
  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
  • Proven, heavy use of AI coding assistants such as Claude, Claude Code, and GitHub Copilot in production delivery, including agentic workflows and tool/MCP integrations
  • Experience with Spec-Driven Development (SDD) or similar spec-first methods that pair executable specifications with AI-generated implementations
  • A track record of strong collaboration, such as leading cross-functional initiatives, working through competing priorities, and building trust with product, design, and engineering partners

  • Domestic relocation assistance is NOT available for this position.
  • Visa sponsorship is NOT available with this position.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
