• 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 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
• 5+ 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
• 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
• Experience 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

Desirable

• This is a unique opportunity to lead and shape the future of our frontend codebase

• 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 and apply architectural standards across our codebase
• Help shape our engineering culture and frontend team as we grow
