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
• Pivot 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)
• A strong understanding of accessibility (WCAG) and web performance as shared, systemic concerns
• Able to think in systems — seeing patterns, simplifying complexity, and designing for reuse across teams
• A founder's mindset: ownership, speed, pragmatism, and bias toward action

Qualifications

• Bonus Points: You've worked with experimentation/feature-flagging, localization (i18n), or accessibility tooling at a systems level
• You have monorepo or frontend build tooling experience (Turborepo, Nx, Vite)
• You were a product engineer before moving toward platform — you understand both sides

Skills

• Experience with 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)
• Ability to communicate clearly and influence engineering and UI standards across teams
• Founder's mindset: ownership, speed, pragmatism, and bias toward action

Benefits

• Comprehensive Health Coverage: Medical, dental, and vision insurance, plus life and disability coverage
• Parental Leave & Family Support: Up to 18 weeks paid leave and a new child stipend
• Financial Wellness: 401(k) program and equity opportunities
• Meals & Home Office Support: Stipends for home office setup and ongoing funds for meals, with tailored perks for both remote and in-office employees
• Time Off to Recharge: Flexible PTO, 12 paid holidays, and a full winter break week
• Wellness & Development: Annual stipends to put towards personal & professional growth
• Mental & Physical Health Support: No-cost access to therapy through the Grow platform, weekly flexible hours for self-care (“Mental Health Mornings/Afternoons”) and memberships to leading wellness apps (such as One Medical, Headspace, and Talkspace)
• Pet insurance discounts, commuter benefits, and global travel assistance
