Frontend Engineer — Los Angeles, CA

About The Role

The role builds the interfaces customers touch every day - complex, data-dense web applications rendered in React and TypeScript, backed by a design system shared across the entire product suite.

The engineer will sit at the intersection of design and infrastructure: translating Figma specs into performant, accessible components while collaborating directly with backend engineers on API contracts and GraphQL schemas.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and ship production features in React, TypeScript, and Next.js, owning them from design handoff through launch and iteration

• Develop reusable components for a shared design system used across multiple product surfaces, with strict accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA) and responsive breakpoints

• Integrate with backend services via REST and GraphQL (Apollo Client), negotiating schemas and driving API contract changes when needed

• Own frontend performance: bundle analysis, code splitting, lazy loading, Core Web Vitals optimization, and profiling with Lighthouse and React DevTools

• Write unit and integration tests with Jest, React Testing Library, and Playwright; maintain CI checks that block regressions before merge

• Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and RFC processes that shape frontend standards across the engineering org

• Debug and resolve production issues end-to-end, using Sentry, Datadog RUM, and log analysis to diagnose user-facing failures

What We Are Looking For

• 3–6 years of professional frontend engineering experience shipping user-facing products at scale

• Deep proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript, React, and modern CSS (Tailwind, CSS-in-JS, or CSS Modules)

• Hands-on experience with a modern meta-framework (Next.js, Remix, or equivalent) and client-side state management (Redux, Zustand, or React Query)

• Strong grasp of browser fundamentals: rendering pipelines, caching, async patterns, and the performance implications of each

• Track record of building accessible interfaces and writing tested, maintainable component code

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience

• Bonus: Experience with design systems tooling (Storybook, Figma tokens), WebSockets/realtime UIs, or contributing to open-source frontend libraries
