We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Builder Experience (BIX) team. As a key member of our platform team, you'll be responsible for designing and implementing the foundations that every product engineer builds on top of. This includes the design system, core UI frameworks, client performance, state management patterns, continuous integration, and the libraries and tooling that keep our codebase healthy and our engineers productive.
\nYou'll be working closely with our Design team to evolve and scale our component library, ensuring it's accessible, composable, and well-documented. You'll also be responsible for profiling, diagnosing, and fixing client-side performance bottlenecks, establishing performance budgets, and building dashboards to keep the team honest.
\nAs a force multiplier, you'll act as a coach and enablement specialist, helping product teams adopt improvements and level up their craft. You'll write playbooks and docs, deliver tech talks, pair with product engineers, and create local tooling to improve developer speed and quality.
\nIn this role, you'll have the opportunity to work on a wide range of challenging projects, from performance optimization to design system evolution. You'll be part of a flat organizational structure, where everyone is valued and empowered to contribute. And, as a remote-friendly company, you'll have the flexibility to work from anywhere, with opportunities for in-person collaboration when needed.
\nIf you're passionate about frontend platform work, enjoy making an entire engineering organization faster and more effective, and are excited about the prospect of joining a dynamic and growing company, we'd love to hear from you!
