## About the Role

We're looking for a senior engineer who can build and own complex frontend systems in real production environments. You should be exceptional on the frontend, comfortable across backend systems and databases, and able to reason deeply about browser performance, rendering, state, and architecture. Experience with video, graphics, game engines, or other performance-sensitive applications is a major plus., * 5+ years building large-scale production software

 * Deep frontend engineering and browser fundamentals

 * Excellent hand-coding, debugging, and systems-thinking skills
 * High ownership and strong technical judgment

This Role Is Probably Not For You If:

 * Your experience is mostly simple or greenfield frontend work
 * You treat backend systems and databases as someone else's problem
 * You rely on AI agents to solve problems you don't understand
 * You avoid digging into rendering, performance, or edge cases
 * You optimize for abstractions instead of understanding the system

## Description

* Own complex frontend systems from architecture to production
 * Build fast, polished experiences for AI-powered media products
 * Solve hard browser rendering and performance problems
 * Keep large frontend codebases clean, fast, and maintainable
 * Work across APIs, backend services, and databases when needed
