The Role
We're looking for a frontend infrastructure engineer to build the tools and systems that make our frontend engineers more productive. Your customers are internal engineers, not end users; you'll create design systems, developer tooling, and foundational abstractions that the rest of the team builds on.
This isn't a product engineering role where you ship features to customers. You'll think about frontend API design, code quality infrastructure, and building reusable components that are a pleasure to use. If you've worked on a design systems team, frontend platform team, or developer experience team at a larger company, this will feel familiar.
What You'll Work On
A few examples of what this role might tackle:
Design system: Building and maintaining a component library with clean APIs, consistent patterns, and great documentation
Developer tooling: CLIs, build tooling, and automation that speeds up frontend development workflows
Code quality infrastructure: Type checking improvements, linting rules, testing utilities, and other guardrails that catch problems early
Frontend architecture: Establishing patterns for state management, data fetching, and component composition that scale as the codebase grows
As a staff engineer, you'll make decisions about our frontend foundations and drive adoption across the team. You'll balance building the "right" abstraction with shipping something useful now.
Tech Stack
Frontend: TypeScript, React, Next.js
Tooling: ESLint, Prettier, Vitest
Build: Bundlers, CI/CD pipelines
You Might Be a Fit If You
Have 5+ years of frontend engineering experience, with time spent on infrastructure, platform, or design systems work
Have strong opinions about frontend API design—you care about how components are consumed, not just how they look
Enjoy building tools and abstractions that other engineers use daily
Think deeply about developer experience and take pride in making things easy to use
Are proficient in TypeScript and React, with experience building component libraries or shared packages
Can balance perfectionism with pragmatism
