Frontend Engineer, Platform
About the role
The Opportunity We're building a dedicated Frontend Platform team, and we're looking for a Frontend Engineer who loves working on the systems that every product team builds on. You'll own the design system and the horizontal web foundation — the shared components, patterns, architecture, and tooling that let every team ship consistent, high-quality experiences without reinventing the basics.
Responsibilities
- Own and evolve our design system — architecture, tokens, theming, governance, and the patterns product teams rely on, in close partnership with Design Engineering
- Build the horizontal web foundation: shared components, frameworks, and the architecture that product teams build features on top of
- Improve performance, accessibility, and consistency across all web surfaces — making quality the default rather than something each team re-solves
- Develop the tooling and developer experience that help product teams move quickly and confidently, including an AI-forward approach to frontend development
- Partner with product and engineering teams to bring platform capabilities into their workflows, and contribute improvements back from real product needs
- Create the documentation and guidance that make all of the above easy to adopt
Requirements
5+ years of frontend or full-stack engineering experience, with a track record of work that other engineering teams depended on
Experience building or scaling design systems, component libraries, or shared frontend infrastructure — with an instinct for horizontal impact over one-team feature work
Fluent in modern frontend technologies (JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Next.js, CSS systems)
Strong understanding of accessibility (WCAG) and web performance as shared, systemic concerns
Comfortable with AI-assisted development (AI tools are part of our daily workflow and our interview loop)
Communication skills and ability to influence engineering and UI standards across teams
A founder's mindset: ownership, speed, pragmatism, and bias toward action
Qualifications
Experience with experimentation/feature-flagging, localization (i18n), or accessibility tooling at a systems level
Monorepo or frontend build tooling experience (Turborepo, Nx, Vite)
Worked as a product engineer before moving toward platform — you understand both sides
Skills
Experience with modern frontend technologies (JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Next.js, CSS systems)
Understanding of accessibility (WCAG) and web performance as shared, systemic concerns
Comfortable with AI-assisted development (AI tools are part of our daily workflow and our interview loop)
