Staff Frontend Software Engineer
GlossGenius
Job description
-
As Staff Frontend Engineer, you’ll own the technical direction of the web platform: the shared UI frameworks, component libraries, tooling, and release infrastructure that determine how fast every other team can move. This isn’t a feature role; it’s a force multiplier role
-
The person in this seat will set a new standard for what great frontend engineering looks like at GlossGenius, embed AI-powered development practices across the org, and raise the ceiling on what’s buildable
-
If the platform you design works well, dozens of engineers ship faster, break less, and spend more time on the work that actually matters
-
Architect and drive the development of scalable, reusable frontend components and shared libraries that every product team at GlossGenius builds on top of
-
Define the long-term technical direction of the web platform: framework decisions, architecture patterns, developer experience, and own those decisions through execution
-
Champion AI-powered development tools across the engineering org: establish best practices for how engineers at GlossGenius use AI tools and set the standard for what AI-assisted frontend engineering looks like in production
-
Own frontend tooling, build pipelines, and developer workflows end to end, with a relentless focus on increasing velocity across teams
-
Set the bar for frontend best practices: code quality, accessibility, performance optimization, Core Web Vitals, design system consistency. And actively raise it across engineering through code reviews, architectural decisions, and cross-functional technical leadership
-
Identify systemic problems before they become blockers and drive solutions that have broad impact across multiple teams, not just the one you’re working with directly
-
Partner with product managers, designers, and engineering teams org-wide to deliver a cohesive, high-quality web experience across every surface- Deep understanding of web performance and experience using AI-assisted tooling to diagnose and resolve performance issues faster than traditional debugging cycles allow
-
You use tools like Cursor and GitHub Copilot to architect, debug, and ship, and you’ve actively shaped how the teams around you adopt AI-assisted development practices
-
7+ years of professional frontend engineering experience with a track record of leading high-impact technical work and owning platform-level decisions, not just shipping features
-
Deep expertise in React, TypeScript, and modern frontend architecture, and a track record of using AI tooling to push the quality and velocity of that work beyond what’s manually achievable at scale
-
Proven experience building and evolving component libraries, design systems, or shared UI frameworks that other engineers rely on
-
Strong communicator who can influence technical direction and align stakeholders across teams without relying on positional authority
-
Drive to ownership and action, you don’t wait for a fully defined problem to start building, you set a technical direction, move, and adjust based on what you learn in production
