About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer with a strong emphasis on front-end engineering to join our team. You’ll work across the stack, but your primary focus will be delivering modern, high-performance user experiences that balance speed, usability, and search visibility.

You’ll collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and other engineers to build scalable, engaging shopping flows, while also contributing to performance, observability, accessibility, and technical excellence. This is a hands-on engineering role, ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, has a strong product mindset, and is motivated by seeing their work used by millions of users.

Where you can make an impact:

• Build, maintain, and evolve React/Next.js front-end applications that serve millions of monthly users.

• Improve Core Web Vitals, accessibility, and technical SEO to drive discoverability and engagement.

• Partner with product, SEO, and content teams to launch, test, and iterate on high-impact shopping experiences.

• Design and implement backend APIs and services that power dynamic, personalized content and partner integrations.

• Collaborate on platform-wide initiatives: performance, observability, A/B testing infrastructure, and front-end developer experience.

• Contribute to shared UI components and design systems, helping scale high-quality UX across pages.

• Participate in code reviews, mentorship, and team technical discussions to help raise the engineering bar.

• Strong product and UX sensibility with a keen eye for performance, usability, and responsive design.

• Hands-on experience building and consuming RESTful and GraphQL APIs, integrating with databases (SQL/NoSQL), and writing full-stack features.

• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (e.g. AWS, GCP, Vercel) and modern DevOps practices (CI/CD, observability).

• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset.

Nice to haves:

• Experience working in SEO-focused web environments, affiliate commerce, or shopping marketplaces.
