What you'll do

• Take ownership of the web client codebase, covering main dashboards and new user journeys.
• Partner with designers to deliver interfaces that are intuitive, fast and accessible.
• Build a library of reusable, scalable components in React and TypeScript to support future growth.
• Prototype ideas quickly, test assumptions and release in small increments.
• Strengthen the client application's speed, stability and consistency as the product grows.
• Work with product, infrastructure and backend engineers to turn complicated technical processes into clear screens.
• Lift the quality bar on the team through thoughtful peer review and design conversations.

What we're looking for

• 4 to 8 years of software engineering experience, with at least 3 years building large-scale web front ends.
• A recent track record of 2 or more years at a high-growth startup with a strong engineering bar, or an equivalent record of achievement such as founding a successful company or building impressive personal projects.
• Advanced skill in React and TypeScript, plus Next.js and core web platform knowledge.
• A history of releasing and supporting sophisticated, interaction-heavy web products in production.
• Solid understanding of design systems, user experience principles and accessibility standards.
• Willingness to work across the stack when the situation calls for it.
• A strong sense of ownership and confidence making judgment calls where requirements are unclear.
• Clear written and spoken communication, including laying out trade-offs and building consensus.
• Enthusiasm for working in person at the office every day.

Bonus points

• Background with products that handle large volumes of data, tooling for developers or monitoring systems.
• Familiarity with live-updating interfaces or user experiences with unpredictable outputs.
• Early-stage startup experience in a role where design and engineering worked hand in hand.
• Good product instincts.
