About The Position

We’re hiring a Senior Front End Engineer to own and elevate the interfaces that thousands of developers touch every day - the editor, the docs experience, and the interactive surfaces that make ReadMe feel alive. This role sits at the intersection of design, performance, and developer experience. You’ll shape not just how our product looks, but how it feels to use: fast, intuitive, and genuinely delightful. You won’t just be shipping components…you’ll help define what great frontend craft looks like at ReadMe.
We're a small team of humans (and one owl) working together to do big things — and that’s where you come in. In this role you’ll have a transformational impact on ReadMe across both the trajectory of the business and our thriving culture.
ReadMe helps more than 5,000 leading startups and tech companies build beautiful, personalized, and interactive developer hubs. If you’ve ever visited the developer docs for PagerDuty, Samsara, or Nvidia, you’ve used ReadMe!
We love what we do because it’s so much more than just documentation. We’re providing tools for teams to build a better developer experience and make their products and APIs easier to use. We’ve got great support from our investors at Accel who led our Series A, and our interview process reflects the open, caring, and whimsical culture we want to maintain as we scale.
