• Implement scalable, maintainable component structures and frontend architecture.
• Build responsive, accessible, and performant interfaces optimized for clarity and consistency.
• Collaborate with product and backend engineering to refine specifications, workflows, and API contracts.
• Implement robust error handling, boundary states, and loading strategies.
• Ensure code quality through reviews, documentation, linting, and testing.
• Contribute to frontend performance optimization and observability.
• Own features end-to-end, from architecture → implementation → testing → deployment → monitoring.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of professional frontend engineering experience.
• Strong proficiency with Svelte, SvelteKit, or equivalent modern frameworks.
• Deep expertise in TypeScript, modern JavaScript, and web application architecture.
• Advanced proficiency with TailwindCSS for building scalable and consistent UIs.
• Strong understanding of interaction patterns, layout systems, accessibility, and responsive UI.
• Hands-on experience with modern build tools (Vite, ES modules, bundlers, Bun).
• Experience writing and maintaining automated tests (unit or integration).
• Experience developing good UX focused on self-serving applications to encourage product led growth
• Experience in a fast-paced and frequent code deployment environment
• Excellent communication skills and a disciplined, documentation-first mindset.
• Strong technical judgment and ability to make informed tradeoffs in an evolving product environment.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Playwright for end-to-end testing.
• Familiarity with component library architecture or design system engineering.
• Experience optimizing frontend performance at scale.
• Exposure to complex, data-dense interfaces or enterprise-grade web applications.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions or similar).
