About The Position

As a Senior Frontend Engineer on the Customer Experience team, you will be a core contributor to the customer-facing experiences that define how people buy a vehicle with us. You will build and maintain high-quality frontend features across the purchase journey, working across trade-in, vehicle configuration, finance and leasing, and delivery. You will work closely with product, design, and backend engineers to ship experiences that customers trust with high-stakes decisions. You will take real ownership of features from design through delivery, contribute meaningfully to technical decisions within the team, and help raise the bar on frontend craft across the codebase. This role is ideal for an engineer who writes thoughtful, production-quality frontend code, cares deeply about the customer experience, and wants to grow their skills in a complex, design-rich, transactional product.

Requirements

• A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, or a related technical field
• 5+ years of frontend engineering experience, with a track record of shipping production features end-to-end.
• Strong proficiency in React and TypeScript, with a solid understanding of component patterns, state management, and application architecture.
• Good eye for design and attention to detail, able to implement UIs that match design intent accurately and consistently.
• Working knowledge of frontend performance fundamentals: Core Web Vitals, rendering strategies, and bundle optimization.
• Practical understanding of web accessibility standards (WCAG) and experience building accessible components.
• Experience integrating frontend applications with REST or GraphQL APIs, including handling errors, loading states, and edge cases.
• Collaborative and communicative, comfortable asking questions, flagging blockers, and contributing to team discussions.
• Driver's License required for domestic travel.

Nice To Haves

• Familiarity with modern frontend technologies including WebGL, GSAP, Framer Motion, and Astro is a strong plus.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain polished, performant customer-facing frontend features, writing clean, well-tested code that your teammates can rely on and extend.
• Implement UI components and application logic that are correct, accessible, and consistent with our design system, translating design intent into high-fidelity, maintainable code.
• Take end-to-end ownership of features from scoping and technical design through implementation, testing, and monitoring in production.
• Integrate frontend experiences with backend APIs and third-party services, handling loading states, error conditions, and edge cases thoughtfully.
• Contribute to frontend performance work: improving Core Web Vitals, reducing bundle size, and ensuring the UI holds up under real-world network and device conditions.
• Participate actively in code and design reviews, sharing knowledge and helping maintain a high quality bar across the team.
• Contribute to the shared component library and design system, helping keep it consistent, accessible, and easy for others to use.
• Collaborate with product managers, designers, and engineers to understand requirements and ship solutions that genuinely serve customers.
• Treat accessibility as a core part of the job, building inclusive experiences by default rather than as a retrofit.
• Use AI-assisted development tools thoughtfully to increase velocity and share effective practices with the team.

Benefits

• Competitive insurance including: Medical, dental, vision and income protection plans
• 401(k) program with: An employer match and immediate vesting
• Generous Paid Time Off including: 20 days planned PTO, as accrued
