- Partner with product and design to turn complex business needs into elegant, practical user experiences on our new enterprise platform
Requirements
- Expert-level proficiency with modern front-end technologies, including JavaScript, CSS, TypeScript, and React
- Deep knowledge of core browser APIs, including data storage (local/session/cookies), iframes, and web workers
- Hands-on experience with modern front-end build tooling (e.g., Vite, ESBuild, Rollup, Webpack)
- Track record of designing, building, and maintaining frameworks or libraries for other engineers
- History of long-term commitment to a product, having guided it from its initial design to a mature, successful state
- Ability to drive technical strategy while translating high-level business goals into concrete engineering outcomes
- Success in a fast-paced, greenfield environment, acting as a key partner in defining both product and culture
Nice to Have
