What the job involves

We’re looking for a Staff/Principal level Product Engineer (Individual Contributor) with a focus on frontend development to join our small, highly talented team at Gizmo

You’ll report directly to the CEO, work closely with design and product, and play a key role in shaping the next generation of Gizmo’s learning platform
You’ll do this by owning a slice of the app and iterating fast to build features that delight our users and solve their problems
You’ll be expected to merge to production, review session replays and metrics, then launch new iterations on a daily basis
If you’re looking for a fast-paced, collaborative team during an exciting stage of growth, with plenty of opportunity to make a significant impact and grow, this is the perfect time to join Gizmo and help shape what comes next
Build, maintain and own user-facing features with a focus on performance, usability, and delightful interactions across web and mobile platforms
Collaborate closely with designers and product managers to translate Figma designs and product requirements into functional, high-quality code
Contribute across the full stack. While frontend will be your focus, you’ll also work on back-end services and APIs when needed
Own features end-to-end, from technical design and implementation to release, iteration, and ongoing improvement
Participate in code reviews, technical planning, and team stand-ups, helping us maintain a high engineering standard
