Job Level
About the role
- Work with a group of top-tier engineers in a low-process environment powered by trust and autonomy.
- Drive decisions and consensus asynchronously with thoughtful documentation.
- Ship fast. Learn fast. Repeat. Build new features from top to bottom, from UX to database.
- Architect scalable front-end solutions that allow us to efficiently launch new portals.
- Work directly with PMs and business partners to help define and refine our roadmap. Your voice matters.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with a diverse group of people, giving and receiving feedback for growth.
Requirements
- Deep expertise in React with modern compiler-driven patterns (functional components, hooks, performance optimizations, server-side rendering, hydration, and advanced state management).
- Proficiency in TypeScript, with experience developing and maintaining enterprise-scale applications.
- Advanced CSS knowledge (Tailwind, SCSS, CSS-in-JS, animations, and handling browser quirks).
- Familiarity with contemporary frontend tooling (e.g., React Query/TanStack ecosystem, Tailwind or design-token-based styling, modern build tools like Vite).
- Solid frontend architecture fundamentals: performance, accessibility, responsive design, testing, and maintainability.
- Experience optimizing frontend performance (lazy loading, code-splitting, caching strategies, Lighthouse optimizations, etc.).
- Experience working on complex product flows such as e-commerce, travel, marketplace, or fintech applications.
- Ability to balance shipping product features with long-term platform thinking in multi-brand or white-label environments.
- Familiarity with SSR and static site generation (e.g., Next.js) for SEO-friendly experiences.
- A passion for writing testable code knowing what to test, what not to test, and what kinds of tests matter in front-end applications.
- Bonus: Full-stack engineers with a frontend tilt are very welcome, especially those comfortable collaborating across API design, backend systems and cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, etc.).
Benefits
- Well-funded and proven startup with large ambitions, competitive salary and the upsides of pre-IPO equity packages.
- Carrot Cash travel stipend.
- Flexdesk All Access Pass & Work-from-home stipend.
- Entrepreneurial culture where pushing limits and taking risks is everyday business.
- Open communication with management and company leadership.
