About The Position

Gable is growing and hiring a new Staff Software Engineer - Front End, who will own front-end projects such as the technical direction of our front-end product experience. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who can architect, build, and ship polished user interfaces while also raising the bar for front-end quality, systems, and execution across the team. You will partner with Product, Design, Full Stack Engineering, and Leadership to shape the product roadmap, turn ambiguous problems into clear technical plans, and build interfaces that make complex developer and data workflows intuitive. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys both deep IC work and technical leadership: setting patterns, making tradeoff decisions, and leading important product initiatives from concept through production.

Requirements

8+ years of professional software engineering experience
5+ years of front-end software engineering experience
Recent experience working on a 0-1 product or high-growth/scaling experience
Deep experience building production-grade web applications using React and TypeScript
Strong command of TypeScript, HTML, CSS, browser fundamentals, and modern front-end tooling
Experience designing and building reusable components, component libraries, design systems, or scalable UI frameworks
Solid design intuition and judgment around UI decisions, with the ability to make thoughtful tradeoffs across usability, visual clarity, accessibility, product goals, and engineering constraints
Experience in using AI tools thoughtfully to improve development velocity, testing, product quality, and user experience
Strong understanding of front-end architecture, including state management, performance optimization, accessibility, responsive design, and rendering tradeoffs
Experience working with REST APIs, including the ability to influence API shape and frontend/backend contracts
Strong testing experience with tools such as Jest, Vitest, Playwright, or similar
Excellent communication skills with both technical and non-technical audiences
Proven ability to raise technical standards and guide architectural decisions without needing formal people-management authority
Comfortable operating in a fast-moving startup environment where priorities can evolve, and ownership is broad

Nice To Haves

Experience building developer tools, data products, technical SaaS platforms, workflow automation products, or other complex B2B software
Full-stack experience is a great plus
Experience with AI-driven user experiences, LLM-powered workflows, agentic interfaces, or AI-assisted engineering tools
Familiarity with monorepos, front-end build systems, and front-end infrastructure
Experience with Node.js or backend development, especially when partnering across the full stack
Familiarity with cloud platforms, CI/CD workflows, containerization, or infrastructure-adjacent engineering
Experience with Figma or similar design/prototyping tools

Responsibilities

Lead the architecture and development of Gable’s core front-end product experience
Own large-scale UI initiatives end-to-end, from problem definition and technical design through launch, iteration, and production support
Build highly usable, performant, and accessible interfaces for complex developer, data, and workflow-heavy products
Create reusable front-end components, design systems, and scalable UI patterns that improve engineering velocity and product consistency.
Make thoughtful technical decisions around rendering strategies, state management, testing, performance, accessibility, and maintainability.
Prototype quickly, use data and customer feedback to iterate, and help the team focus on the highest-impact work.
Champion engineering excellence through strong testing practices, code quality, operational awareness, and pragmatic front-end infrastructure.
Help evaluate and integrate AI-assisted development tools and AI-driven product experiences where they improve quality, speed, or user value.
