We’re hiring a high-level Senior or Staff Software Engineer to join Manifest, a new product being built in a high-autonomy, fast-moving environment.

The team operates with a lean process and a high degree of ownership. Engineers are expected to work effectively in ambiguity, collaborate directly with product and design partners, clarify requirements before writing code, and ship pragmatic, high-quality solutions with minimal oversight.

For this role, we are looking for a product-centric full-stack engineer with a strong front-end focus. You should be highly comfortable building polished, maintainable user experiences in React, and ideally have a strong eye for design, UX quality, and front-end architecture.

The team has established a solid foundation of front-end patterns, design principles, and product conventions. As our product matures, we need an engineer who can help carry that work forward: improving UI polish, strengthening front-end practices, and helping the team make thoughtful product and design decisions without relying on heavy process or dedicated design support.

This role is for an engineer who enjoys startup-mode execution: turning incomplete ideas into sensible plans, making good product and technical tradeoffs, and moving work forward with urgency and sound judgment.

We are open to hiring at either the Senior or Staff level depending on experience, scope, and demonstrated impact.
What You’ll Do

- Build polished, maintainable, user-centered product experiences using React and modern front-end patterns

- Help evolve the front-end architecture, component patterns, and UI conventions of the product

- Take loosely defined product ideas and turn them into clear, executable technical plans

- Ask sharp questions to clarify scope, constraints, edge cases, UX expectations, and customer impact

- Make pragmatic tradeoffs between speed, quality, maintainability, product value, and UI polish

- Collaborate closely with engineers, product partners, and other stakeholders to move work forward

- Use modern development tools, including AI coding assistants, as a force multiplier while maintaining strong engineering judgment

- Contribute to a high-quality engineering culture through thoughtful code review, direct communication, and a bias toward action

- At the Staff level, raise the effectiveness of the wider team through technical leadership, stronger front-end patterns, better execution standards, and improved decision-making

What We’re Looking For

You may be a fit for this role if you:

- Have significant experience as a senior or staff-level software engineer on product-focused teams

- Are highly skilled with React, TypeScript, and modern front-end development

- Have strong product judgment and care deeply about user experien
