About The Position

Paperless Post is looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer to help craft the rich, polished experiences that millions of people rely on to celebrate the moments that matter. You'll drive frontend architecture decisions, and partner closely with product and design as part of a deeply collaborative team. We're looking for someone who cares about the craft — and equally about the people on the other side of the screen. The Paperless Post Engineering team, a highly collaborative group of developers and technologists, is charged with building and refining a consumer-facing product that millions of people interact with each month. Our individual feature teams each focus on a unique piece of the user experience and are made up of engineers, product managers, quality assurers, and product designers. We prioritize creativity and continuing education, and our ongoing commitment to quality code shows in our pragmatic but brave approach to technology. Our engineers are increasingly working alongside AI, running tools like Claude Code across multiple streams of work at once. That means less time writing code by hand and more time on architecture, judgment, and the problems only people can solve. It's helped us increase our output this year while reducing deploy-related incidents compared to the same period last year.
