You'll work across our Vue, Angular, and React codebases, from the embeddable widgets shoppers see on storefronts to the merchant admin tools brands use every day, on a fully remote team, using TypeScript end-to-end on a modern AWS serverless architecture.

Position Summary
What You'll Do:
- Build and ship frontend features across three distinct surfaces: Vue-based embeddable widgets and shopper-facing components, Angular-based merchant admin tools, and React-based Shopify integrations
- Design, develop, and implement software solutions in close collaboration with product, design, and backend engineering
- Write clean, well-tested, maintainable TypeScript, and hold your own code and your team's to a high standard
- Break down ambiguous, complex problems into shippable, well-scoped tasks, then estimate, plan, and deliver against them
- Take ownership of features end to end: design, build, test, deploy, and monitor in production
- Participate in system design discussions and contribute to how we evolve our frontend architecture as the platform scales
- Mentor other engineers, review code thoughtfully, and help raise the technical bar across the team
- Collaborate with backend engineers working across our serverless AWS stack to design clean, performant APIs and data flows
What you'll need
- 5+ years of professional experience building production frontend applications (Software Engineer or equivalent)
- Strong hands-on experience with at least one modern component framework (Vue, Angular, or React) and the ability to ramp quickly across the other two
- Deep proficiency in TypeScript and modern JavaScript
- A track record of shipping high-quality, tested, maintainable frontend code in a team environment
- Comfort working across a full serverless stack (APIs, event-driven services, cloud infrastructure) even if your primary focus is frontend
- Strong written and verbal communication: you'll work async with a fully distributed, global team
- The ability to work independently, make sound technical decisions with appropriate guidance, and know when to ask for help
Nice to have
- Experience with AWS serverless services (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, CloudFront, S3, SQS/SNS)
- Experience building embeddable widgets or SDKs that run on third-party sites (e.g., Shopify storefronts)
