As a Senior Frontend Engineer, you will lead the development of complex UIs, ensuring high performance and excellent UX while collaborating closely with design and product teams.
Position Summary
We’re hiring a Senior Frontend Engineer who is both opinionated and design-oriented. You will own end-to-end delivery of interfaces: architecture, performance, accessibility, and the actual UX. If you care as much about micro-interactions as data loading strategies, you’ll fit right in.
What we’re looking for
- Modern FE stack: React + Next.js, Tailwind, Vercel, Zustand, React Query.
- Design + UX ownership: You sweat details, shape interaction patterns, and push for visual clarity.
- System thinking: Build component libraries/design systems that scale across products.
- Performance & quality: Exemplary Core Web Vitals, accessibility, testing, and error handling.
- Product instincts: You can turn vague ideas into crisp flows and ship quickly.
- Opinionated: Deep level of understanding of the technological landscape, making both high level framework and granular code design decisions based on understanding rather than preference - diving deep on unknown patterns in order to build the best product.
Responsibilities
- Lead the architecture and delivery of complex, data-rich UIs.
- Define state management and data-fetching patterns for reliability and speed.
- Partner tightly with design and product; contribute to UX research and prototyping.
- Establish FE best practices: design tokens, theming, testing, and CI/CD for the web.
- Create and contribute to storybook and reusable components to standardize all customer facing surfaces.
Logistics:
- Compensation: $165K - $250K salary, $100K-200K equivalent in new hire equity (4 year vest)
- Location: New York City. We are a fully in-office team working out of Midtown Manhattan Monday through Friday. We allow for WFH days when anyone is traveling, but we do not allow for permanent remote work.
- Benefits:
- Generous health, dental, and vision insurance
- 401k with 3% automatic contribution (no vesting)
- Paid Lunches
- Wellness and Citi Bike benefit
