Staff Software Engineer - Front-End Tooling
About The Position
We’re looking for a Staff Software Engineer with Front-End lean to take end-to-end ownership of our front-end architecture and developer tooling. This role is for someone who enjoys building foundations early, making opinionated (but pragmatic) decisions, and unblocking teams through better systems—not process. You’ll operate as a technical owner and multiplier: shaping how front-end work gets done across the company while still writing production code every week. If you like being close to product, moving fast, and building things that scale with a growing team, this role
Requirements
- 7+ years of software engineering experience, with deep hands-on front-end expertise
- Strong proficiency in TypeScript and modern front-end frameworks (React preferred)
- Proven experience owning or driving front-end architecture in a fast-moving environment
- Solid understanding of front-end tooling and build systems (e.g. Vite, Webpack, Babel, ESLint, testing frameworks)
- Experience building or maintaining shared component libraries or design systems
- Strong grasp of performance optimization, browser behavior, and accessibility best practices
- Comfortable working with ambiguity and making trade-offs in an early or evolving codebase
- Ability to influence technical direction through code, documentation, and collaboration
- Startup mindset: pragmatic, curious, and biased toward action over perfection
Responsibilities
- Own and evolve the front-end architecture across our applications, including structure, state management, and data flow
- Design and maintain front-end tooling that improves developer velocity (build systems, local dev, CI, testing, linting)
- Set clear technical direction and standards for performance, accessibility, and maintainability
- Make high-impact architectural decisions with a bias toward simplicity and iteration
- Build and maintain shared UI components and core front-end abstractions
- Partner closely with product engineers and designers to ensure front-end foundations support rapid product development
- Proactively identify pain points, technical debt, and scaling risks—and fix them before they slow the team down
- Mentor engineers through code reviews, pairing, and technical discussions
- Act as a front-end technical leader without needing formal people management
Benefits
- Generous time off
- Competitive compensation, equity, and benefits
- Lunch stipend…. And much more
