Experienced Frontend Engineer

What We're Looking For

Stytch is the most powerful identity platform built for developers. With advanced features like device fingerprinting and account takeover-resistant authentication, Stytch provides the infrastructure to make your company’s identity and access management secure, reliable, and scalable. We’re looking for an experienced frontend engineer to join the Web team.

The Web team focuses on improving how developers interact with Stytch’s product and platform. We also maintain the frontend platform at Stytch, making it easy for technical and non-technical stakeholders to contribute to our systems. As an experienced frontend engineer, you’ll partner with leadership to ensure that our frontend platform is truly best-in-class by setting the roadmap for the team, overseeing the design and execution of the team’s projects, and ultimately working on the most critical projects that empower our customers to build seamless authentication flows.

What Excites You

• A collaborative environment with a tight feedback loop between the work you do and the impact it has on our customers

• Mentoring engineers across Stytch — you have a passion for helping engineers grow and learn and are excited to help grow the future engineering leaders of the company

• Designing for the future, and building for the present — you have a vision for the systems you work on, but know how to build incremental milestones, and when to make trade-offs between completeness and utility to get to value fast

• You love code — you’re a pro at building roadmaps and design docs, but you don’t like stopping there. You’re incredibly proud of the code you write and review, and like staying close to the systems you own

• Putting your stamp on the team — shaping the culture and growing the team through recruiting leadership and senior engineers, and working closely with engineering managers to develop the operations and processes that allow the team to execute at the highest level

• Building products that make developers lives easier — both internally and externally. You’re excited to make our systems easy and safe to use for both internal and external developers

What Excites Us

• 7+ years of experience working with modern JavaScript libraries and tooling

  • Experience with server side rendering is a plus

• Experience prioritizing and implementing complex improvements to frontend architecture

• Experience partnering with product and engineering leadership to drive the technical roadmap for a team or group

What Success Looks Like

• Technical — build foundations that enable our team to create experiences that delight developers and end users

• Ownership — partner with your manager to build the roadmap for the team, partner with product to prioritize the most critical work and projects, and then ship them to production

• Leadership — level up the team and the industry by growing the next generation of senior engineers
