Tech Stack
About the role
- Lead frontend engineering at Umbrel
- Own major product surfaces in umbrelOS (web UI), first-party apps, and website
- Collaborate closely with design to improve user interfaces
Requirements
- Strong experience in Frontend Development
- Proficiency in React and TypeScript
- Familiarity with Tailwind, Shadcn, and Radix
- Ability to create accessible interfaces
- Experience in API design and theming
- Excellent coding, testing, and communication skills
Benefits
- Treats Figma as a contract you’ll honor in code, and you’ll improve it when the reality demands.
- Ships polished, accessible interfaces in React + TypeScript (Tailwind, Shadcn, Radix).
- Sweats the last 5%: empty states, errors, skeletons, loading strategies, and microcopy that reduces cognitive load.
- Uses motion to communicate state (not decorate it): consistent easing/durations and meaningful transitions.
- Thinks in systems: API-design, theming, responsive scales, and components that age well.
- Writes clear, readable code and tests, and leaves the codebase calmer than you found it.
- Can take a vague problem → write a short design doc → prototype in code → ship in small, reversible steps.
- Partners with design early: you’ll prototype, tweak spacing/typography/easing, and treat copy as part of the UI.
- Communicates crisply in writing (we’re async-first) and gives kind, candid feedback.
- Has strong product judgment. Knows when to refine and when to press "ship."
