Frontend Engineer, Chromatic

• If you're energized by the idea of building systems that prevent bugs from reaching millions of users daily, this is the perfect job for you
• 5+ years of hands-on frontend engineering experience building web applications with React, Next.js, and TypeScript, with a test-driven and accessibility-first mindset
• Self-directed problem solver who can scope work, communicate progress, flag blockers early, and make sound technical and product trade-offs independently while staying aligned with stakeholders
• Strong opinions, weakly held—someone who pushes back on ideas to drive better outcomes, handles critique without defensiveness, and demonstrates a growth mindset
• Clear written and verbal communicator who provides straightforward, self-contained updates with necessary context in our distributed, asynchronous environment
• Focused executor who stays accountable to commitments, resists distractions, and delivers consistent progress even when things don't go as planned
• Genuinely invested in developer experience, whether you've shipped tools for developers or spent years deeply understanding frontend teams' pain points
