What We're Looking For

We’re looking for a seasoned Software Engineer with a passion for the frontend — someone who gets excited about elegant interfaces, robust architectures, and complex client-side state management. This is a unique opportunity to lead and shape the future of our frontend codebase. You’ll bring deep frontend engineering expertise and apply it to architect scalable, modular systems with best-in-class performance, testing, and maintainability.

You’ll be the go-to expert on frontend engineering best practices, also working closely with design and backend teams on API best practices. This role is ideal for someone who has worked in complex frontend environments and is excited to bring those lessons to a growing, ambitious team. If you love geeking out over frontend design, code structure, and performance, you’ll thrive here.

What You'll Work On

  • Lead the design and development of our next-generation frontend architecture
  • Implement high-quality user interfaces that are fast, beautiful, and accessible
  • Build complex state management systems that are reliable and easy to understand
  • Define and enforce frontend code standards, testing practices, and validation frameworks
  • Translate designs from Figma into modular, production-ready code
  • Own the frontend development process end-to-end, from technical planning through QA and release
  • Develop new client-facing features and interfaces
  • Partner with designers and backend engineers to create seamless experiences
  • Drive improvements in performance, maintainability, scalability, and overall FE code health
  • Tackle complex architecture challenges, apply architectural standards and start using them on new projects
  • Help shape our engineering culture and frontend team as we grow

Required for this Role

  • 6+ years of experience in software engineering, with a focus on frontend development
  • Strong proficiency in Typescript, JavaScript (ES6+), HTML5, CSS, and modern JS frameworks – especially React – and experience working with CDNs and optimizing frontend delivery performance
  • Experience working on large, complex single-page applications
  • Deep understanding of software engineering fundamentals: modularity, scalability, separation of concerns
  • Expertise with JavaScript build tools (e.g., Webpack, Vite) and how frontend code is packaged and delivered
  • Experience with modern testing frameworks like Playwright, Jest, Cypress, Mocha, or Chai
  • Proficiency with working in a full-stack capacity (comfortable contributing to the backend code; experience with Ruby, Python, or Node)
  • Ability to translate visual designs into well-structured frontend code
  • A degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience
  • Deep experience with application observability
