Job description
- Design, develop, and maintain the frontend applications and UIs powering Studio's core features
- Work across our stack, primarily React, TypeScript, GraphQL, and REST APIs, to build responsive and accessible web experiences
- Tackle complex technical challenges around video player integration, content management workflows, creator dashboards, and interactive UX
- Make pragmatic architectural decisions, balancing technical excellence with creator needs and business goals
- Write clear and thorough technical specs that enable smooth collaboration across engineering teams
- Be responsive and communicative: reply quickly, share timely updates, and keep stakeholders informed
- Take part actively in code reviews, giving constructive feedback and learning from others
- Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code that your teammates can build on
- Champion best practices across the board: testing, documentation, accessibility, performance, and operational excellence
Requirements
- 5+ years of frontend development experience with production apps shipped at scale
- React & TypeScript: your everyday tools, not just words on a resume
- GraphQL and REST APIs: you know how to fetch, cache, and manage data client-side
- Strong fundamentals: HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript, browser APIs, responsive design, web performance
- Solid grasp of modern frontend architecture: components, state management, routing
- Autonomous by default: you drive work forward without needing constant supervision
English is mandatory: it's the team's daily working language. French is a plus
Nice to haves
- Comfortable using AI tools (Copilot, ChatGPT, etc.) for prototyping, debugging, or documenting, while knowing their limits
- Familiar with web optimization: lazy loading, code splitting, bundle optimization
- Experience with modern CSS methodologies: CSS Modules, Styled Components, Tailwind, or equivalent
- Solid with Git, CI/CD, and modern dev workflows
- Background in a startup or product company where you had to move fast with limited resources
What Will Make the Difference
You thrive in ambiguity, love exploring unfamiliar codebases, and can navigate complex systems even when documentation is sparse (or nonexistent). You prefer autonomy over micromanagement, turn messy problems into clean solutions, and always keep creators' needs front of mind.
