📋 Description

• Partner with our Director of Engineering and Staff Engineer to shape technical direction • Lead the evolution of frontend architecture (components, rendering strategies, etc) • Translate product and design intent into elegant, maintainable UI • Simplify complex workflows and improve usability, responsiveness, and performance • Partner closely with Engineering, Product, and Design on solution development • Mentor engineers and raise the bar for frontend and UX craftsmanship • Take actual breaks and vacations - no off-hours or weekend work except when the app experiences unforeseen issues (which does not happen often)

🎯 Requirements

• Deep experience building high-quality user interfaces, and recent hands-on coding • Strong fundamentals in HTML, CSS, JS, and browser behavior • Comfort working directly in Rails views, helpers, and partials • Experience with or strong interest in Hotwire / Turbo / Stimulus • Preference for simple, maintainable systems over unnecessary abstraction • Strong product and interaction design instincts • Experience simplifying complex workflows • Ability to work effectively with ambiguity • Experience shaping engineering patterns and conventions • Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills • Act as a go-to partner for complex or ambiguous frontend and UX challenges • Ability to zoom out to systems (architecture and business-level) thinking while remaining comfortable bushwhacking in the weeds • Most successful candidates for this role have 10+ years of software development experience working on multiple complex software projects over time, though we do not have a strict years-of-experience requirement.

🏖️ Benefits

• Remote-first position on a distributed team • Competitive salary and stock option plan • Medical, dental, vision, and 401k benefits (with employer match!) • Stipends for supporting creators of your choosing • Annual Learning and Development stipend to support your professional growth • Family-friendly and focused on maintaining a healthy work/life balance • Awesome work environment at a company with a huge opportunity
