About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

End-to-end feature ownership: Own user-facing features from spec to build to deploy to iterate, making the product and design tradeoffs along the way rather than implementing handed-down specs.
SDK development: Build and maintain the SDKs external developers use to embed Footprint, where clean APIs and great docs directly shape our customers' integration experience.
Platform and tooling: Improve CI/CD, releases, and our monorepo tooling (pnpm) so the whole frontend team ships faster and more safely.
Performance and observability: Drive frontend performance, monitoring, and observability so issues get caught and resolved before customers ever feel them.
Design system: Own and evolve our component library and design system, keeping the UI consistent, accessible, and fast to build on.
Customer empathy: Listen to customers, dig into their pain points, and turn what you learn into product improvements. You'll be close to the people who use what you build.
