Staff Software Engineer, Front End

Description

• Own a product end-to-end from defining the problem we should solve to meet our OKRs to designing, building, shipping, and operating the solution. • Act as a key technical partner for Product Management, co-owning the roadmap, identifying key risks, and surfacing new engineering-led opportunities. • Rapidly form hypotheses based on data and iterate quickly to find tactics that deliver the biggest impact. Rinse and repeat. • Focus on what’s right, not who. Solicit feedback, learn, teach, and give candid feedback to grow and improve together. Continuously. • Architect & code frameworks that can be leveraged by the team. • Invest in technical foundations to accelerate our shipping rhythm. Ship products worthy of recognition. • Champion the integration of AI tools (like coding assistants) into our daily development lifecycle to boost team velocity, improve code quality, and streamline testing.
