Frontend Engineer, Studio

We launched in 2016 as a marketplace for fonts with a subscription service. In the last 8 years, we have been through tremendous growth, and we're just getting started!

We have scaled to 50 million+ monthly page views, 8 million+ registrations, over 22 million listed products, and 22000+ active designers.

Our focus is to create a platform for designers that enables them to offer exceptional high-quality content. We make their products searchable in unique ways. This allows our customers to speed up their workflow, allowing them to focus on what they love most: Creating.

About the team:

The App teams are focused on the Creative Fabrica user products and experiences. Our current primary project is on developing Studio, an easy to use, browser-based all-in-one design platform for crafters, designers, educators, print-on-demand, and business owners.

Studio is integrated into the Creative Fabrica platform and offers a vast collection of pre-made design templates. These templates enable users to create a wide range of designs, including fonts, ads, book covers, cards, coupons, social media designs, invitation cards, postcards, noposters, tickets, and much more.

It is also equipped with all the necessary intelligent tools designed to simplify the creative process, such as Background Remover, SVG File Converter, PNG Resizer, PNG to SVG converter, and many others.

It leverages all Creative Fabrica AI capabilities to provide AI-based asset generation, inpainting and image enhancements.

About the role:

• Bridge Design & Engineering: We need a developer who speaks the language of designers. Your goal is to translate complex Figma concepts into pixel-perfect, interactive reality without losing the "soul" of the design.
• Build the "Studio" Product: Studio is in its early stages. You will drive the development of our prompt-operated design tools and GenAI interfaces, ensuring they feel intuitive and magical to the user.
• User-Centric Innovation: Unlike backend-heavy roles, this position exists to maximize user value. You will build new features that directly impact how users create, interacting with whiteboarding tools, background removers, and vectorization flows.

What you will do:

• End-to-End Feature Ownership: You won't just pick up tickets; you will own features from the design review stage through to deployment. You are the technical partner to the Product Owner.
• Custom UI Architecture: We do not use off-the-shelf libraries like Material UI. You will build bespoke, performant UI components from scratch using React and Tailwind to match our unique design identity.
• GenAI & Creative Tooling: You will build the interfaces that control our AI models-think drag-and-drop zones, real-time canvas overlays, and "prompt-to-design" inputs.
• Rapid Prototyping: You will frequently iterate on UI/UX experiments to test new product concepts quickly.
• Performance: Ensuring that rich interactions (whiteboarding, image manipulation) remain 60fps and snappy for the user.

What you will need:

• React & TypeScript Proficiency: proficiency in modern React patterns (Hooks, Context, State Management) and TypeScript.
• "Design Engineer" Capability: Ability to build complex, custom UIs without relying on UI kits (MUI/Bootstrap). You know how to structure CSS/Tailwind for scale.
• Product Mindset: You understand how the business works. You ask "why are we building this?" and offer solutions that balance user experience with technical feasibility.
• Web Technologies: Strong grasp of the DOM, browser APIs, and modern CSS (Flexbox/Grid, Animations).
• High Agency: You don't wait to be told what to do. You see a UX flaw, and you fix it.
• Collaborative: You thrive in a high-bandwidth environment with Designers and Product Owners.
• Adaptable: The product is early-stage; requirements change. You roll with the punches and keep shipping value.

• Canvas/WebGL Familiarity: While you don't need to be a linear algebra expert (we have Graphics Engineers for that), being comfortable working around a canvas element (PixiJS, Fabric.js) is a huge plus.
• GenAI Experience: Experience building UIs for AI tools (prompts, diffing images, loaders).
• Performance Optimization: Code splitting, lazy loading, and rendering optimization.

Additional points:

• This is a remote position, you must be based in a country within -3/+3 hours of the Central European Timezone (CET).
• You must have the right to live and work in the country you are based on.
