Role Description We’re looking for a Frontend Engineer to build the platform that powers consumer-grade product experiences at scale. This role sits at the intersection of design, product, and engineering, and focuses on developing the core components, systems, and tooling that enable teams to move faster with confidence. You’ll play a key role in shaping our design system and frontend architecture, owning both strategy and hands-on implementation. Your work will enable teams to ship high-quality, consistent user interfaces without regressions or reinvention. This is a foundational role in building a world-class product surface and raising the bar for frontend craftsmanship as we scale. What You’ll Be Doing - Build and maintain our core design system used by both engineers and designers - Develop scalable, reusable frontend components that power consistent, high-quality experiences - Prototype and experiment rapidly to validate ideas before they are codified into the system - Establish and drive best practices across accessibility, performance, localization, and responsiveness - Improve UI consistency and reduce regressions through strong abstractions, testing, and tooling - Partner with product and engineering teams to integrate design system components into their workflows - Create clear documentation, guidelines, and governance to support adoption and extensibility - Raise the bar for visual polish, interaction quality, and overall frontend craft - Help shape an AI-forward development approach to accelerate and democratize frontend development Qualifications - Have 5+ years of frontend or fullstack engineering experience, ideally in product-driven environments - Have experience building and scaling design systems, component libraries, or developer platforms - Are fluent in modern frontend technologies (JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Next.js, CSS systems) - Are comfortable leveraging AI-assisted development workflows - Collaborate effectively with designers and engineers across the product lifecycle - Can quickly prototype and turn ambiguous ideas into polished interfaces - Have a strong understanding of accessibility (WCAG) and performance best practices - Think in systems, identifying patterns, simplifying complexity, and designing for reuse - Communicate clearly and influence product and UI decisions - Care deeply about crafting intuitive, consumer-grade user experiences - Bring a founder’s mindset: ownership, speed, pragmatism, and bias toward action Why This Role Matters As we scale, maintaining a consistent, high-quality user experience becomes increasingly complex, and increasingly important. This role ensures we can move fast without sacrificing quality by building the foundation that every team relies on. You’ll play a critical role in shaping our product’s visual identity, strengthening the partnership between design and engineering, and delivering a consumer-grade experience that sets a new standard for the industry.

Both arrangements include travel 2–3 times per year (e.g., company and department offsites). - The base compensation for this role will vary depending on several factors, including relevant experience, qualifications, and the candidate’s working location. Benefits - Comprehensive Health Coverage: Medical, dental, and vision insurance, plus life and disability coverage. - Parental Leave & Family Support: Up to 18 weeks paid leave and a new child stipend. - Financial Wellness: 401(k) program and equity opportunities. - Meals & Home Office Support: Stipends for home office setup and ongoing funds for meals, with tailored perks for both remote and in-office employees. - Time Off to Recharge: Flexible PTO, 12 paid holidays, and a full winter break week. - Wellness & Development: Annual stipends to put towards personal & professional growth. - Mental & Physical Health Support: No-cost access to therapy through the Grow platform, weekly flexible hours for self-care (“Mental Health Mornings/Afternoons”) and memberships to leading wellness apps (such as One Medical, Headspace, and Talkspace). - Extra Perks: Pet insurance discounts, commuter benefits, and global travel assistance.
