About the role

  • Rebuild and elevate Nango's dashboard and developer-facing UI to a best-in-class standard, setting the bar for quality and craftsmanship.
  • Design and implement data-intensive views (logs, syncs, connection management) that are fast, readable, and a pleasure to use — even at scale.
  • Own frontend performance: optimize rendering, minimize bundle size, and ensure the UI feels instant.
  • Build polished, accessible UI components and establish scalable patterns and conventions for the frontend codebase.
  • Collaborate directly with developer customers to understand pain points and iterate on UX.
  • Contribute to backend work (Node.js/TypeScript) when needed to unblock yourself or ship a feature end to end — you don't need to be a backend expert, but you're comfortable enough to be autonomous.
  • Shape the product roadmap and company strategy alongside the founding team, with high ownership of the frontend direction.

Requirements

  • 5+ years (senior) or 10+ years (staff) of frontend engineering experience, with a portfolio or track record of shipping high-quality, production UIs.
  • Deep expertise with React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS — our core stack.
  • Proven experience building complex, data-heavy dashboards or developer tools where performance and UX quality are critical.
  • Strong sense of UI/UX craft: you obsess over layout, spacing, interaction details, loading states, and edge cases.
  • Experience with frontend performance optimization — you understand virtual rendering, memoization, lazy loading, bundle analysis, and know when each matters.
  • Familiarity with backend fundamentals (APIs, databases, Node.js) — enough to be dangerous and self-sufficient when needed.
  • Experience at a high-caliber US-based tech company or developer tools company.
  • Passion for developer tools and building outstanding developer experiences.
  • Strong communicator, proactive, and reliable in a remote-first environment.
  • Pragmatic, positive, and low ego: you step up when needed and unblock teammates.
  • Startup-ready: autonomous, ownership-driven, and able to navigate ambiguity.
  • Based in North America, LATAM, or Europe.
