Staff Front End Engineer

Role Overview

We are seeking a Staff Front End Engineer to lead the front end vision for one of our core product teams. You will partner with backend and mobile engineers to design elegant, performant, and scalable user experiences that power both sides of our marketplace.

• Act as the front end technical lead for cross-functional, agile teams building high-impact web applications.
• Drive architecture decisions and code standards to ensure scalability, maintainability, and performance.
• Collaborate with product, design, and backend partners to translate ideas into delightful, accessible, and performant interfaces.
• Lead by example - write high-quality, testable code and perform thoughtful code reviews.
• Champion modern front end technologies, developer tools, and patterns to continuously evolve our stack.
• Mentor and elevate other engineers through knowledge sharing and collaboration.

Requirements

• 7+ years of professional front end development experience, with deep expertise of 3+ years in React (including state management, animations, and Webpack).
• Strong understanding of JavaScript/TypeScript and modern frameworks; React Native experience is a plus.
• Proven experience leading or architecting complex, interactive applications end-to-end.
• Passion for design systems, performance optimization, and crafting exceptional user experiences.
• Track record of mentoring engineers and improving team culture and process.
• Collaborative mindset - youre equally comfortable whiteboarding solutions or rolling up your sleeves to ship them.
• Awareness of scalability and performance considerations across browsers and devices.
• BS/BA in Computer Science or related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).

What Sets You Apart

• You think beyond the code. You care about how things are built and why they matter to the user.
• Youve owned complex, high-traffic web applications and made measurable improvements to performance, scalability, or developer experience.
• You have strong opinions, loosely held: you can articulate architectural decisions clearly but stay open to new ideas.
• You find joy in details: accessibility, animation timing, responsiveness - the subtle things that turn a good UI into a great one.
