  • Identify opportunities to reduce third-party dependencies through in-house solutions
  • Contribute to architectural decisions that improve speed, usability, and maintainability of our UI
What you'll need to be successful
  • Strong alignment with our values (find our values on our career page if you haven’t read up on them yet)
  • You are proficient in English (spoken, written, and reading) at a CEFR Level C2 / ILR Level 5
  • Deep expertise with JavaScript and React, especially at the architectural level
  • A strong track record of improving performance and reliability in modern front-end applications
  • 5+ years of experience in a front-end engineering role, ideally with experience owning or modernizing large codebases
  • Comfortable working autonomously in a fast-paced, fully remote environment
Bonus points
  • Experience building internal component libraries or design systems
  • Experience with server-side rendering, code splitting, or other performance optimization techniques
$130,000 - $140,000 USD per year

  • Autonomy and trust to do your job: we care about outcomes over everything else.
  • Paid time away: all employees are given 35 days of PTO annually. We also offer a paid sabbatical after 5 years.

  • Annual bonus potential for roles that don't already receive variable income or commission.
