Job description
Position Summary
We’re hiring a Senior Frontend Engineer who is both opinionated and design-oriented. You will own end-to-end delivery of interfaces: architecture, performance, accessibility, and the actual UX. If you care as much about micro-interactions as data loading strategies, you’ll fit right in.

What we’re looking for
  • Modern FE stack: React + Next.js, Tailwind, Vercel, Zustand, React Query.
  • Design + UX ownership: You sweat details, shape interaction patterns, and push for visual clarity.
  • System thinking: Build component libraries/design systems that scale across products.
  • Performance & quality: Exemplary Core Web Vitals, accessibility, testing, and error handling.
  • Product instincts: You can turn vague ideas into crisp flows and ship quickly.
  • Opinionated: Deep level of understanding of the technological landscape, making both high level framework and granular code design decisions based on understanding rather than preference - diving deep on unknown patterns in order to build the best product.

Responsibilities
  • Lead the architecture and delivery of complex, data-rich UIs.
  • Define state management and data-fetching patterns for reliability and speed.
  • Partner tightly with design and product; contribute to UX research and prototyping.
  • Establish FE best practices: design tokens, theming, testing, and CI/CD for the web.
  • Create and contribute to storybook and reusable components to standardize all customer facing surfaces.

Logistics:
  • Compensation: $165K - $250K salary, $100K-200K equivalent in new hire equity (4 year vest) 
  • Location: New York City. We are a fully in-office team working out of Midtown Manhattan Monday through Friday. We allow for WFH days when anyone is traveling, but we do not allow for permanent remote work.
  • Benefits:
    • Generous health, dental, and vision insurance
    • 401k with 3% automatic contribution (no vesting)
    • Paid Lunches
    • Wellness and Citi Bike benefit
