Role
Who you are
- 10+ years of experience building complex software applications, with significant experience building modern web applications
- Deep experience with TypeScript and React, and strong opinions about building maintainable, performant frontend systems
- A track record of shaping and shipping valuable product features, not just building technology for its own sake
- Strong understanding of frontend architecture, state management, API integration, testing, accessibility, performance, and modern web development practices
- Experience working with component libraries and/or design systems such as Shadcn or MUI
- Comfortable working across the stack and understanding how frontend decisions interact with APIs, databases, data pipelines, and infrastructure
- Experience deploying production applications and services on AWS or GCP
- Good judgment around technical debt, architectural tradeoffs, and when to optimize for speed versus long-term maintainability
- Comfortable using modern AI development tools to accelerate development and improve engineering workflows
- Experience with infrastructure as code (IaC), preferably with Pulumi
- Familiarity with network security and protecting production applications
- Strong written, verbal, and presentation skills, with the ability to communicate technical decisions clearly to both engineers and non-engineers
- A strong drive to raise the engineering bar through patterns, tooling, documentation, and best practices
- You build in the open, share context generously, and enjoy helping other engineers become more effective
- The humor and humility to maintain perspective while working in a fast-moving environment
- Experience working with data-intensive applications is a plus. Familiarity with moving, ingesting, and transforming data at scale is valuable, but you don't need to be a data engineer to succeed in this role
- Not all candidates will check all of the requirements listed above and that’s ok! We are open to great people from non-traditional backgrounds
What the job involves
- We're growing, and looking for a Staff Software Engineer with a strong frontend focus to help us build the next generation of our web application and ship critical product experiences at scale
- This role reports directly to our Head of Engineering
- As a Staff Engineer at Vendelux, you'll be a technical leader responsible for shaping how we build and evolve our customer-facing product
- You'll work deeply in our frontend stack while also contributing across the broader system when needed
- Own major product experiences end-to-end, from technical design and frontend architecture through implementation, testing, measurement, and iteration
- Build and evolve our best-in-class web application using TypeScript, React, Shadcn/MUI, and Node.js, with a focus on usability, performance, reliability, and maintainability
- Set technical direction for frontend architecture, patterns, and engineering practices, helping the team build a consistent and scalable application as the product grows
- Ship high-quality, secure, well-tested software through incremental, data-driven delivery, balancing product velocity with long-term technical health
- Solve challenging product and technical problems across the stack, working closely with product, design, data, and backend engineers to turn ambiguous requirements into great user experiences
- Partner with our operations and revenue teams, as well as directly with customers, to understand how people use the product and turn user feedback and analytics into better product experiences
- Identify opportunities to improve frontend performance, developer experience, observability, testing, and overall application quality
- Work closely with our leadership team to define the product roadmap and technical strategy, particularly around the evolution of our customer-facing application
- Be a technical leader and valued contributor within an autonomous, cross-functional agile team
- Mentor engineers through pair programming, code reviews, architecture discussions, and hands-on technical leadership, with an emphasis on pragmatic, performant, and maintainable frontend engineering
- Contribute across the stack when it makes sense. Our frontend engineers work closely with the APIs, data platforms, and infrastructure that power the product, so you'll have opportunities to influence the broader system as well
- Tech Stack:
- Frontend: TypeScript, React, Shadcn / MUI, Node.js
- Backend: Python, Django, TypeScript, Node.js, MySQL, Postgres, AWS, GCP
- Data: Python, Dagster, Snowflake
- Other tools: Linear, GitHub, Datadog, Cursor / Claude Code
Our take
Event marketing enables companies to engage with potential buyers and showcase their offerings up close - providing an ideal platform to communicate ideas, thoughts and brand identity. Vendelux offers a platform that empowers event marketers and CMOs to analyse customer and competitor behaviour, and in turn choose the best conferences to attend.

It also allows collaboration with sales teams to book meetings with every possible lead, and ROI evaluation tools that prove the value of all event marketing activities.
Since founding, the company has amassed a growing customer base that includes the likes of GitLab, DocuSign and Intel, and has also raised several successful funding rounds. The most recent investment supports increased marketing efforts and the enhancement of its ROI-evaluation tools, as well as hiring to build out its team.
