Who we're looking for

We are looking for passionate Staff and Senior Software Engineers with a strong front-end focus to help us build scalable, high-quality, and engaging user experiences.

You’ll collaborate closely with product, design, and engineering teams to develop elegant, responsive interfaces powered by modern frameworks and libraries.
While your primary focus will be on the front-end, you’ll also have opportunities to work across the full stack—integrating with backend APIs, optimizing data flow, and experimenting with emerging technologies like large language models (LLMs) and advanced AI-powered features. This role is perfect for engineers who are passionate about great design, care deeply about user experience, and thrive in a collaborative environment where learning and innovation are encouraged.

• Customer Focus and Collaboration: Translate customer needs and design concepts into intuitive and functional web experiences. Partner closely with product, design, and engineering teams to refine requirements and deliver high-quality features.
• Continuous Improvement and Problem Solving: Stay ahead of front-end trends, frameworks, and performance optimization best practices. Identify and solve complex UI challenges, and introduce tools or workflows that improve development speed and quality.

Qualifications

• Experience: 8+ years of professional software development experience with a strong emphasis on front-end or front-end–leaning full-stack work.
• Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent hands-on experience.

• Customer Focus: Ability to empathize with users and translate insights into thoughtful product experiences.
• Agility: Experience working in agile, iterative environments with continuous learning and improvement.
• Team Player: Proven success contributing within dynamic, cross-functional teams.
