We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer – Frontend to lead the development of high-quality, modern web applications. You’ll work in tight collaboration with our UX team to translate Figma designs into beautiful, functional interfaces, and you’ll play a key role in defining our frontend architecture and design systems.

This role combines hands-on engineering with technical leadership, and we’re especially interested in candidates who leverage Generative AI tools to accelerate development workflows—from rapid prototyping to converting designs into working code.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the design, implementation, and maintenance of scalable, responsive frontend applications using React and Material UI
• Partner closely with UX designers to rapidly iterate on Figma designs, turning ideas into production-ready features
• Build and evolve a reusable component library and design system from scratch
• Use Generative AI tools to streamline development workflows—e.g., prototyping, scaffolding components, and Figma-to-code conversion
• Guide frontend architecture decisions and establish engineering best practices
• Collaborate with backend teams working in Python and Go to deliver full-stack solutions
• Mentor and grow frontend engineers, fostering a high-performance, collaborative culture

Requirements

• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a strong emphasis on frontend development
• Demonstrated success leading frontend teams and owning large-scale UI projects
• Deep expertise in React, Material UI, and modern TypeScript
• Strong experience working with Figma and UX teams in an iterative, user-centered design process
• Experience building and maintaining design systems and component libraries from the ground up
• Hands-on experience using Generative AI tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, CodeWhisperer, or Figma plugins) for rapid prototyping and design-to-code workflows
• Comfortable working across the stack and collaborating with backend teams using Python and Go
• Strong communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills
• Passion for delivering exceptional user experiences and attention to design detail

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with accessibility (a11y) and web performance best practices
• Experience with AWS
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and frontend tooling
• Experience developing applications using a micro-frontend architecture
• Open-source contributions or public projects
• Prior experience in a high-growth startup or product-led environment
