About the role We’re looking for an epic frontend engineer with a product-obsessed mindset - someone who cares about what we build, and why we’re building it. This is a rare chance to solve fascinating, hard problems that no one’s tackled before. As a senior, you’ll work across our mobile and web apps, writing clean, reliable code that makes a real difference. We’re forward-looking and embracing what AI means for how we build. You’ll be shipping features, improving performance, and collaborating with the team. We care about how you think and act: curious, thoughtful, practical, and someone who takes absolute ownership. What you'll do Contribute to the architecture and implementation of key web and mobile features. Bring a strong product lens - you’ll work closely with design and product to make smart trade-offs and ship high-impact features fast. Use AI tools (like Copilot or Cursor) without cutting corners on readability or quality. Maintain high standards for how you build: thoughtful code, great performance, clean design, and features that scale. Contribute to our design system and frontend patterns - Tailwind and Storybook are part of the picture. Support and guide other engineers, reviewing code and sharing context freely. Keep frontend experiences fast and reliable, including when things go sideways. We support our systems end-to-end. You'll be great if you Are experienced with React and have strong opinions on frontend architecture and design systems. Think like a product engineer: you care about the customer experience, not just clean code, and have the experience to back this. Know how to use AI tools well - not just as shortcuts, but to lift your output and focus on the harder stuff. Have a track record of shipping software in cross-functional teams. Are comfortable in fast-moving, ambiguous environments where adaptability beats perfection. We work hard. Understand how to build for performance, accessibility, and maintainability. Bonus points if you’ve worked in React Native, scaled design systems, worked with native mobile products, or mentored other engineers. A degree in software engineering or equivalent is a bonus, but not a must-have.
