Frontend Systems Engineer
Ship production-ready systems in days, not weeks. This is NOT a normal frontend role.
We are looking for a high-speed frontend systems operator who can:
• work under ambiguity
• simplify complexity
• make product decisions independently
• move fast without overengineering
Not a fit if you:
• wait for perfect specs before starting
• overengineer simple systems
• think only in components, not systems
• optimize architecture before product validation
• need handholding for product decisions
Strong fit if you can:
• take incomplete Figma/product direction
• ship production-ready systems very fast
• prioritize business impact over architectural beauty
• simplify systems under pressure
• explain painful production mistakes honestly
You should understand:
• what breaks at scale
• realtime/async frontend flows
• performance bottlenecks
• scalability tradeoffs
• what NOT to build under deadlines
Stack
Next.js • React • TypeScript • Tailwind
Strong plus:
• Zustand
• SSR/ISR
• WebSockets
• realtime systems
• monorepos
• performance optimization
AI-native mindset required
You already use:
• Claude
• Cursor
• Copilot
• AI workflows
Not occasionally.
Operationally.
We value engineers who use AI to:
• remove boilerplate
• accelerate delivery
• improve debugging and workflows
Our benchmark
• 2–3 days from design to live
• fast iteration without unnecessary complexity
• shipping critical paths first
• honest escalation when something blocks delivery
If an edge case turns a 2-day task into a 5-day task:
we expect immediate escalation with facts — not silence.
Best fit usually has
• startup/founding engineer experience
• frontend + systems overlap
• backend awareness
• strong product ownership
• high autonomy
Success in this role
You make the company:
• faster
• simpler
• more scalable
• less blocked by ambiguity
Not:
“more architecturally beautiful.”
Apply with
• portfolio/live projects
• GitHub
• fastest project shipped
• exact timeline
• what you intentionally cut to move faster
• one painful production lesson you learned
Remote.
High ownership.
Fast-moving environment.
