Senior Frontend Engineer

Job Description

We are looking for an experienced Senior Frontend Engineer to be a foundational member of our brand-new Activation engineering team. This is a unique, high-impact opportunity to grow a new product line from the ground up, one that will be central to our company's growth.

You will be a founding technical pillar for a link shortening, QR code, and landing pages platform similar in scope to other industry leaders. You will act as a key hands-on builder and a strategic partner to Product and Design, translating ambitious ideas and complex designs into beautiful, intuitive, and delightful user experiences.

This role requires a senior engineer who can balance technical excellence with pragmatic decision-making, driving continuous value for our customers. If you are a hands-on engineer who loves the challenge of building new, customer-facing products and mentoring other engineers, this is the perfect role for you.

Your Responsibilities

• Translate Design into Delight: Partner closely with Product and Design to translate Figma-based designs and prototypes into pixel-perfect, responsive, and accessible web applications that create genuine customer delight.
• Own & Solve: Act as a reliable technical contributor who owns, drives, and solves complex UI/UX problems independently, resolving diverse issues with creativity. You will own the production operation and monitoring of your applications, paying close attention to Core Web Vitals, performance bottlenecks, and error rates.
• Lead Projects: Independently lead key frontend projects through the full development lifecycle, from scoping with product partners to deployment and post-launch support.
• Improve & Adapt: Challenge existing processes and identify improvements in our technical stack and development lifecycle. You will be a key contributor to building and evolving our new Design System.
• Mentor & Influence: Mentor other engineers to accelerate their growth and encourage broad participation in technical discussions. You will be expected to persuade peers and stakeholders on difficult technical matters.

You'll be a good fit if you have:

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a proven track record of building complex, high-quality frontend applications.
• Deep experience in React and its ecosystem (e.g., Hooks, State Management). Expertise in modern JavaScript/TypeScript and advanced frontend JavaScript patterns (e.g., component-based architecture, asynchronous programming).
• Rapid, Iterative Delivery: A strong bias for action and a pragmatic approach to rapid, iterative development, with a proven ability to deliver small chunks of value to customers quickly (e.g., POCs, MVPs).
• Customer-Obsessed: You possess a deep sense of customer empathy and are driven to understand their needs, ensuring that technical solutions are perfectly aligned with creating a valuable and effective user experience.
• Design-to-Code Excellence: A strong portfolio or demonstrated ability to translate complex Figma designs into beautiful, responsive, accessible, and high-quality user interfaces.
• Strong Communicator: Excellent ability to articulate complex technical concepts and design trade-offs to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Project Leadership: Proven ability to lead complex technical projects independently, from scoping and design through to delivery.
• Mentorship & Influence: Experience mentoring other engineers and a demonstrated ability to persuade on difficult technical matters.

Nice to haves:

• Design System Experience: Experience building or contributing to a design system from the ground up.
• Component Libraries: Familiarity with component utility libraries and systems like shadcn/ui, Radix UI, or Headless UI.
• Diverse Company Experience: A blend of experience from both fast-paced, ambiguous startup environments and larger, established tech companies (understanding both speed and scale).
• Domain Knowledge: Direct experience in the martech/ad-tech space, or with platforms focused on link management, QR codes, or marketing analytics.
