Who you are

You’re more than a Frontend engineer; you’re a feature owner, UX champion, and a continuous learner who thrives on shipping impactful user experiences
We are looking for an engineer who sees the frontend as a critical platform for product delivery
System-Level Thinking: 6+ years of frontend experience (4+ with React/TypeScript). You have designed, owned, and shipped complex, multi-system features that define the technical direction for a product area
Performance Guru: Proven ability to diagnose and dramatically improve application performance under high load (browser runtime, network profiling)
Foundational Mastery: Expert-level understanding of Vanilla JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and browser APIs. You can write robust code without a framework and understand how React works under the hood
Data Flow Mastery: Expert knowledge of GraphQL and Apollo Client. You prefer simple API contracts and know when to avoid unnecessary client-side complexity
Communication: A track record of collaborating effectively with Product and UX/UI to translate business goals into high-impact technical solutions

What the job involves

Doodle is a B2B SaaS platform used by millions of professionals to coordinate meetings and collaboration
We are expanding from a scheduling product into a broader productivity and coordination platform, creating meaningful technical challenges at scale
You’ll contribute to our design system and component architecture, playing a pivotal role in ensuring the frontend is accessible, blazing fast, and optimized for scale
As a Senior Frontend Engineer, you’ll be instrumental in shaping our application’s future, focusing on architecture, performance, and developer experience
Architecture & Standards: Define the technical direction for our frontend stack. You’ll lead the implementation and governance of our Design System and Component Library, ensuring modularity, consistency, and reusability across teams
Performance Leadership: Own and enforce Core Web Vitals. You will optimize bundle sizes, build speeds, and asset delivery, while implementing advanced rendering techniques like React Server Components (RSC) within Next.js
Data & State Strategy: Architect solutions for efficient, localized state. You will champion Local State and React Context as the primary tools, strictly minimizing external state libraries. For highly complex atomic state flows, you will leverage lightweight solutions like Jotai. You will also master the Apollo Client cache to handle API data fetching
Developer Experience (DX): Act as the internal customer for the frontend platform. You’ll improve CI/CD pipeline efficiency, enhance local development tooling, and ensure high-quality documentation
Code Quality & Mentorship: Lead by example through rigorous code reviews. You’ll enforce TypeScript best practices, mentoring mid-level engineers to foster a culture of technical excellence

Our take

In recent years, creating an accessible and smooth remote working system has become a requisite for many companies. One company focused on this is Doodle, an online scheduling and meeting platform.

Boasting 30M monthly users across 70,000+ businesses, a huge sell is the software can be used for teams of all sizes. This means its features are accessible to small independent businesses through to large enterprises. As a result, the company has placed itself at the forefront of the market (competing with the likes of Calendly).
