Senior Software Engineer, Frontend

About us

The Paperless Post Engineering team is a highly collaborative group of developers and technologists building and refining a consumer-facing product that millions of people interact with each month. Our individual feature teams each focus on a unique piece of the user experience and are made up of engineers, product managers, quality assurers, and product designers. We prioritize creativity and continuing education, and our ongoing commitment to quality code shows in our pragmatic but brave approach to technology.

Our engineers are increasingly working alongside AI, running tools like Claude Code across multiple streams of work at once. That means less time writing code by hand and more time on architecture, judgment, and the problems only people can solve. It's helped us increase our output this year while reducing deploy-related incidents compared to the same period last year.

Company-wide, we enjoy an amazing ecosystem of an even gender split and a balance of engineers and designers. Because Paperless Post isn't supported by ad revenue, we can focus our efforts on creating and improving the ideal version of our platform, product, content, and partnerships for our users. We are proud that Paperless Post has helped over 220 million people globally connect in the real world since our inception.
