Job description

  • Ship end-to-end features - from Figma wireframe to React component to backend API and database migration.
  • Design a component system in React + Tailwind that supports rapid iteration and a cohesive design language.
  • Optimize performance - SSR, code-splitting, hydration, and WebSocket-driven real-time updates that hold up under millions of requests per day.
  • Collaborate across disciplines - work shoulder-to-shoulder with distributed-systems engineers, product designers, and founders to turn complex infrastructure into delightful product.
  • Level-up the team - lead design reviews, mentor junior engineers, and introduce best practices for testing, accessibility, and observability.

Requirements

Must-Have

  • 5+ years building production React applications
  • Deep knowledge of Tailwind CSS & modern CSS architecture
  • Typescript mastery and strong fundamentals in JS/DOM/APIs
  • Experience designing REST/JSON or gRPC backends (Node, Go, or similar)
  • AuthN/AuthZ design (OIDC, JWT)
  • Product sense: you care about UX details & accessibility

Nice-to-Have

  • Experience with Tanstack / Next.js
  • Data-viz libraries (Recharts, Visx, D3)
  • tRPC experience
  • Familiarity with GPU or ML tooling dashboards
  • Comfort debugging perf issues (Lighthouse, Chrome DevTools)
  • Dev-ops chops: CI/CD, Docker, Terraform

You don’t need to tick every “nice-to-have” box-curiosity and the ability to learn quickly matter more.

Benefits & conditions

  • Base salary: $120,000 - $180,000
  • Equity: significant early-stage grant
  • Benefits: full medical/dental/vision, 401(k) with match, generous PTO, commuter + hardware stipends, daily office lunch
