Requirements

What you’ll need

5+ years of hands-on, post-grad, non-internship professional software development experience, with frontend engineering as a core strength.
Strong proficiency with modern frontend development using TypeScript or JavaScript. Experience with component-based frameworks such as React, Lit, or similar is valuable, but we care more about strong frontend fundamentals than any specific framework.
Experience designing and building end-to-end web applications at scale, including user interfaces, API integrations, system design, testing, launch, and iteration.
Hands-on experience using AI-powered developer tools and workflows as part of your own engineering practice, with curiosity and judgment about where these tools can meaningfully improve developer productivity.
A track record of leading large, ambiguous projects that require cross-team collaboration, technical judgment, and clear ownership from problem definition through delivery.
Strong software engineering fundamentals, including testing, code reviews, technical design, documentation, maintainability, and building scalable, well-designed systems.
A user-focused mindset, with experience understanding user needs, working with feedback, and building reliable, usable, high-quality product experiences.
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively in a fully remote environment, influence technical direction, and navigate complex requirements across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Experience mentoring engineers, raising the technical bar, and helping teams make pragmatic tradeoffs.
A self-directed, action-oriented approach. You are comfortable operating in ambiguity, learning quickly, and driving work forward even when the path is not fully defined.
