Senior Frontend Engineer
Our Mission
We’re not your average benefits platform — we’re the driving force that uplifts people’s lives. Our technology connects the entire benefits ecosystem, creating better outcomes for employers, employees, brokers, and providers.
Our mission is clear: to build a world where everything works at its best, ensuring every employee gets the support they need to thrive—both at work and beyond.
Your Mission
As a Senior Front-End Engineer at Ben, you'll own the experience that hundreds of thousands of employees and HR teams interact with daily - benefits browsing, cashback, plan configurations, the admin tools that make complex benefit administration feel simple.
You'll take features from design to production: collaborating with product and design to understand the problem, figuring out the right approach, building it, shipping it.
Your work will involve contributing towards our component architecture, styling standards, tooling decisions and accessibility practices, the goal being to deliver the best possible user experience for our customers!
Things you'll be working on
Build and ship front-end features that solve real problems for HR teams and employees
Own the quality and consistency of our UI - component patterns, styling guidelines
Collaborate with designers to turn ideas into polished, accessible interfaces
Review our front-end code and shape how we build across the team
You will be involved in driving technical decisions about tooling, patterns, and architecture as our front-end evolves
Think about scalability - what happens when we have 10x the users, 10x the complexity?
Ensure security best practices are baked into everything we build
You'll thrive in this role if you...
Have deep experience building modern front-end applications with React and TypeScript
Care about craft - clean components, consistent patterns, thoughtful abstractions
Enjoy collaborating with designers and have opinions about what makes a great user experience
Are pragmatic: you know when to polish and when to ship
Have a strong ownership mindset, and enjoy delivering projects end-to-end
Have excellent communication skills, adaptable to both tech and business audiences
Nice-to-haves
Have worked on enterprise-scale products (B2B SaaS, HR tech, fintech)
Have driven work on accessibility standards and how to build inclusive interfaces
You will not love this role if you…
Prefer a slow or highly predictable pace we move quickly and value action
Feel uncomfortable owning projects end-to-end and being accountable for outcomes
Prefer maintaining the status quo we challenge assumptions and improve constantly
Want a heavily structured environment we’re still building processes as we grow
Struggle with ambiguity or prefer prescriptive direction you’ll get context, but you’ll need to figure things out
Wait for others to take initiative this is a proactive, high-performance team
Not sure if you meet 100% of the requirements?
That’s okay, careers aren’t linear. If you have a strong technical foundation, solid backend experience, and enthusiasm for fullstack engineering in a fast-moving startup, we’d love to hear from you. Just make sure you feel confident contributing meaningfully from day one.
