About Quora

Quora's mission is to grow and share the world’s knowledge. To do so, we have two knowledge sharing products:

• Quora: A global knowledge sharing platform with over 400M monthly unique visitors, bringing people together to share insights on various topics and providing a unique platform to learn and connect with others.
• Poe: A platform providing millions of global users with one place to chat, explore, and build with a wide variety of AI language models (bots), including o3, o4-mini, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, GPT Image 1, and more. As AI capabilities rapidly advance, Poe provides a single platform to instantly integrate and utilize these new models.

Behind these products are passionate, collaborative, and high-performing global teams. We have a culture rooted in transparency, idea-sharing, and experimentation that allows us to celebrate success and grow together through meaningful work. Join us on this journey to create a positive impact and make a significant change in the world.

This role will be working on our Poe product.

About the Team and Role

Our small engineering team tackles challenging problems every day. We value a culture of continuous learning and improvement, encouraging our engineers to think big and experiment with new ideas. With continuous deployment, we quickly see our changes live in the product and iterate rapidly. We focus on creating polished products and writing high-quality code by designing APIs and abstractions that are extensible and maintainable. At Quora, development velocity is crucial, and we invest heavily in improving tools, abstractions, and frameworks to empower developers to move faster and achieve more with a lean team.

The Platform team focuses on making product developers (engineers, designers, data scientists) more productive by building tools, frameworks, and abstractions that simplify their work. This team’s projects range from developing reusable UI component libraries and improving front-end debugging tools to accelerating code deployment and optimizing site performance. Recently, the team has led efforts to migrate Quora’s legacy front-end system to modern frameworks (React, GraphQL, Relay).

This role has a particular emphasis on front-end frameworks and tools that support the Poe product, making it ideal for engineers excited about empowering others through great front-end infrastructure.

In this role, you’ll work closely with other team members to improve the efficiency of product developers across Poe and Quora, with a front-end lean. You’ll collaborate with Poe product teams to understand pain points and build tools to help them move faster. You’ll primarily work with modern JavaScript frameworks like React, NextJS, GraphQL, and Relay, while also occasionally working across the stack in Python. This is a great opportunity for full-stack engineers with a front-end focus who are passionate about building reliable, performant products and helping other developers succeed.

Responsibilities

• Develop, maintain, and expand tools that make Poe and Quora product developers (engineers, designers, data scientists) more efficient, with a focus on front-end capabilities.
• Contribute to building and maintaining reusable UI components and front-end abstractions used by developers.
• Collaborate closely with product teams to identify pain points and understand developer workflow challenges.
• Drive proposals and initiatives to improve front-end development workflows, adopt new frameworks, and standardize practices.

Minimum Requirements

• Availability for meetings and impromptu communication during Quora's “coordination hours" (Mon-Fri: 9am-3pm Pacific Time).
• B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.

Company Information

• Quora is a privately held, "remote-first" company.
• This position can be performed remotely from multiple countries around the world. Please visit careers.quora.com/eligible-countries for details regarding employment eligibility by country.
