About The Position

We’re looking for a deeply experienced frontend engineer with full-stack fluency who brings strong judgment and a thoughtful critical perspective. This role is not about producing baseline code quickly. Modern AI tools can do that. It’s about collaboration , setting direction , making sound decisions , and d riving technical quality . You will leverage AI agents as force multipliers while maintaining a high bar for correctness, maintainability, testability, and operational excellence. Success here depends on engineering judgment—choosing the right solution, not just producing code. We’re open to leveling for exceptional candidates. Hybrid: NYC office 3 days/week (commutable distance required)

Requirements

8+ years of experience building production web applications
Expert-level proficiency with TypeScript , strong experience with React, server-side rendered Next.js (or similar) , and performant component-driven development (e.g. Reshaped UI)
Ability to articulate complex technical trade-offs to stakeholders and translate product vision into high-fidelity technical direction.
Demonstrated development of simple, reusable, changeable systems (with examples of refactors, platforming work, or scalable patterns).
Preference for functional programming and a deep understanding of why immutability is critical in modern frontend development.
Advanced knowledge of the testing pyramid and how to use automated tests as a safety net for rapid, iterative development.
Proven technical leadership through mentorship, delegation, and high-quality code reviews.
Hands-on experience with tools like Cursor (or equivalent AI-augmented IDEs) and all modern coding models.
Practical understanding of where AI is strong vs. where it falls short , paired with sound discernment in its application.
Ability to use AI agents to quickly project multiple approaches , compare tradeoffs, and converge on the best solution without shipping “AI-shaped” code.

Responsibilities

Take Ownership: You’ll be accountable for upholding a high bar for quality through design reviews, code reviews, test strategy, and production readiness.
Collaborate cross-functionally: Partner with product, design, and fellow engineers to shape solutions, clarify tradeoffs, and deliver reliably.
Architect for change: Design and build full-stack, frontend-leaning systems that are intentionally small, composable, and resilient to evolving product requirements.
Improve Performance & Quality: Enforce architectural and operational quality, catching subtle issues that are easy to miss in fast-moving, AI-assisted development.
Champion Functional Patterns: Champion functional programming principles and immutability to reduce side effects and make systems simpler to reason through and debug.
Lead AI-assisted development: You’ll use AI assistants/agents for prototyping, scaffolding, refactoring, and exploratory development, then harden the result and rigorously validate through tests, reasoning, and edge-case review.
Raise quality through testing: Build and maintain a strong automated test suite of unit, integration/contract, component/UI, and end-to-end coverage, with fast feedback loops in CI.
