Role
Who you are
- Know the JavaScript and TypeScript ecosystems and tooling
- Know how to build a React application and understand how the browser works
- Understand data-fetching and caching patterns in front end applications
- Know how forms work
- Have an opinion on CSS and how it should be done in modern applications (it doesn’t matter what the opinion is, just that you have one!)
- Have experience with front end observability and monitoring
- Believe in owning the entire application lifecycle – design, development, and deployment
- Are a full contributor – you not only want to build but want to have a say in how things are built
- Are customer-centric – whether the experience is for developers or non-technical users, their experience drives you
- You see the future powered by a “connected” ecosystem of integrations and have ideas on how you want to be part of that
Desirable
- Have built serverless applications (Lambda, Cloudflare Workers, Google Cloud Functions)

What the job involves
- We are looking for a Senior Front End Engineer to join our Developer Experience team
- In this role, you will help design and scale our web properties powered by our GraphQL API
- The Developer Experience team owns our customer/internal dashboards and tooling, developer documentation, and more
- While this position is primarily front end, you will also be contributing to API design decisions, helping to develop API features with UI/UX in mind
- Our stack is GraphQL, TypeScript, React, Next.js, and Tailwind
- We deploy serverless functions and believe in leveraging edge computing to deliver modern experiences
- We work closely with product and design teams to craft the experiences of our platform using our API
- We:
- Operate collaboratively, but autonomously
- Invest in tooling and automation – we do CI/CD, we codegen as much as we can, and that lets us focus on the task at hand
- Believe in experience-driven decisions – we work closely with Product and Design. We talk to customers and engage our teammates in feedback sessions
- Discuss API design…a lot
- Love prototyping and exploring
- Don’t shy away from new things – we have a lot of fun ideas
- Are ambitious
