Senior Software Engineer, Frontend

About The Role

We are seeking a Senior Frontend Engineer to lead the rewrite of our highest-traffic journeys as part of our Marketplace web project. This role will be in-person (4 days per week - M-THUR) at our NYC headquarters.

What You'll Do

• Own major initiatives end-to-end across our highest-traffic surfaces, starting with Search Results (SRP) and Details (DLP), focusing on Core Web Vitals, SEO, and conversion.
• Lead technical design for large changes (RFCs/design docs), driving alignment with Product/Design, and making pragmatic tradeoffs that stick.
• Define and implement reusable patterns in a Next.js App Router codebase (routing/data fetching, caching strategy, component architecture, error handling, analytics instrumentation).
• Raise the quality bar through standards, reviews, and mentorship, helping a junior-leaning team level up quickly.
• Improve developer velocity by shaping tooling and practices (testing strategy with Playwright, observability with Datadog, CI hygiene).
• Partner with backend engineers on API contracts to improve frontend performance and iteration speed.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: Next.js (App Router), React, TypeScript, Tailwind, shadcn/ui
• Testing: Playwright
• Observability: Datadog
• Backend context: Ruby on Rails and Node.js on AWS, with Postgres and MongoDB

Qualifications

• 7+ years building production web applications (or equivalent senior-level experience).
• Deep React expertise and strong command of modern frontend architecture, especially in Next.js-style SSR/SPA hybrids.
• Proven experience leading rewrites or major migrations of high-traffic surfaces with measurable results (Core Web Vitals, SEO, conversion, reliability).
• Strong technical judgment and ability to lead ambiguous projects from scoping through rollout and measurement.
• Strong testing discipline, observability mindset, and maintainable code.
• Ability to mentor and raise the bar for a team through clear communication and technical leadership.

Growth Path

We expect this hire to grow into Staff by expanding scope from owning SRP/DLP to setting org-wide frontend standards, influencing adjacent teams, and leading additional high-impact surfaces as the rewrite program scales.

Why Is This a Great Opportunity

About The Company

Our client is redefining what it means to be a hotel guest. We build a new category in hospitality: day access to luxury hotel experiences from breathtaking pools and private beaches to deluxe spas and wellness recharges so people can escape without an overnight stay. Our marketplace now connects guests with 2,500+ partner hotels and resorts, including Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons, Marriott Hilton, and more. We've helped millions of people enjoy premium hospitality close to home, making rest more mindful, togetherness more meaningful, and escape more accessible. Backed by some of the best consumer and growth investors, including CRV, Declaration, Brian Kelly (The Points Guy), WME, FJ Labs, and more, our company is scaling a product people love and creating an entirely new way to experience hospitality. We've demonstrated product-market fit at scale, are the category leader, growing fast, and on the brink of profitability. Yet the team is still small enough that an engineer can have outsized influence and broad exposure across the business.
