Senior Full Stack Software Engineer
imgix
Role Description We’re hiring a Senior Full Stack Engineer who genuinely enjoys the front-end and wants to actively push our technology forward. Reporting directly to a hands-on Senior Engineering Manager, you’ll work across our entire stack—our backend runs on Python, our front-end on Next.js. You’ll spend a meaningful portion of your time crafting the surfaces our customers actually touch: the dashboard, the image-editing UI, and the APIs for managing accounts and configuration. As we continue modernizing our stack, we’re looking for an engineer who looks for meaningful improvements, not just maintenance—someone who raises the technical bar through hands-on work, thoughtful code review, and clear documentation, and treats CSS and UI craft as real engineering, not a chore. This is a hands-on senior role. In a given week you might: - Design a React component library - Optimize a slow Python endpoint - Debug a CI pipeline - Review an AI-generated pull request If that variety is the kind of work you find most engaging, this role is designed for you. What you’ll do - Design, build, and ship: Own full-stack features end-to-end, from API design through to polished, accessible UI. - Drive front-end architecture: Lead decisions on component patterns, state management, performance, and design system evolution. - Champion our testing culture: Bring rigor to our front-end and account-management code by choosing tooling, establishing patterns, and turning solid coverage into a team habit. - Write clean backend code: Maintain and build scalable Python APIs, collaborating on data modeling and GCP infrastructure. - Build with AI tools: Use Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, or similar daily—for prompting, reviewing, and refining code. - Act as an L3 escalation: Join a genuinely low-volume, third-level on-call rotation. - Mentor and elevate: Guide teammates informally through code review, pairing, and excellent documentation. Qualifications - Substantial full-stack professional experience, with demonstrated ability to work across the entire stack independently and lead technical decisions. - Proficient with at least one major cloud platform (the majority of our work is in GCP); able to design, deploy, and operate production workloads in the cloud. - Strong front-end expertise with React, the modern JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystem, and a real sense for UI craft (spacing, hierarchy, responsiveness, accessibility). - Backend proficiency in Python, or a demonstrated ability to become productive in Python quickly. - Hands-on experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL or similar) and REST/GraphQL API design. - Fluent use of AI coding assistants in real production work. - Comfortable working across the stack and driving features to completion without needing a clear handoff at every stage. - Strong written and verbal communication skills, critical to keeping our US and Japan-based teammates aligned asynchronously. Nice to have - Experience with Python web frameworks like FastAPI, Django, or Flask. - Familiarity with modern React tooling (Next.js, Tailwind, shadcn/ui, or similar). - Basic DevOps and CI pipeline literacy. - Experience integrating LLM APIs (Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.) into production applications. - Background in design systems, component libraries, or design-engineering collaboration. - Interest in image/video processing, computer graphics, or web performance. How we work - Small, global team: Low process, high trust, and async-first communication (recordings, shared notes) to keep teammates across time zones aligned. - Remote-first: Work from anywhere in the United States, with the option to work from our San Francisco office if you're local. - AI-first building: AI tools are a primary part of how we build, and we’ll count on you to help shape how we use them. - Pragmatism over dogma: We pick the right tool for the job, not the trendiest one. - Real ownership: Engineers own features end-to-end and talk directly with customers when it helps. Benefits - This role is benchmarked at $180,000-$210,000 base, determined by experience, skills, and qualifications. - Full-time employees receive 100% covered medical, dental, and vision premiums for you and your family. - Equity, 401(k), flexible PTO, generous parental leave, a wellness stipend, and learning and workspace stipends. - Details on all benefits are shared during the interview process. Company Description Imgix is the complete visual media platform for teams that care about performance. We power image and video optimization, AI transformation, and lightning-fast delivery for brands like Unsplash, Skims, Bustle, YETI, and Nikkei—serving over 8 billion images every day. We’re a team of curious engineers and creatives who care deeply about images, performance, and solving hard problems well. In 2023 we layered AI into our platform—upscaling, background removal, generative fill, smart cropping, and more—and we’re just getting started. Imgix is a remote-first company with employees distributed globally. This role can be performed from anywhere in the United States, with the option to work from our San Francisco office if you’re local. Imgix is an equal opportunity employer. We’re a SOC2-compliant, globally distributed team and we welcome applicants from all backgrounds. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, or veteran status.
