The Opportunity

We are looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer who wants to spend their time architecting and shipping. You will join a team of seasoned engineers where high autonomy and high technical standards are the default.

You will be working on a complex, data-rich frontend that powers a product with $5M ARR and growing. This role is for a builder who loves the challenge of scaling frontend systems, crafting excellent user experiences, and integrating AI-powered capabilities directly into the product.

What You Will Do

Architect & Build: Design and implement scalable, type-safe frontend applications using TypeScript and React, built on Next.js or similar frameworks. You will own features end-to-end in close collaboration with Backend and Product, from UI architecture to API contracts and data flow.
Build Complex, Data-Driven UIs: Develop high-performance, data-rich interfaces that handle real-time updates, complex workflows, and large datasets while maintaining excellent UX.
AI-Native Frontend Features: Integrate AI-driven experiences into the UI, including working with nondeterministic outputs, streaming responses, and human-in-the-loop workflows. This goes beyond UI polish - its about designing interfaces that make AI useful and trustworthy for users.
Own Your Code: We practice "You build it, you run it." You will ensure frontend systems are reliable, observable, and performant, participating in on-call rotations and incident response when frontend issues impact customers.

What We Are Looking For

TypeScript Authority: You have deep expertise in the TypeScript ecosystem and modern frontend tooling. You write clean, modular code that scales and is easy to test and maintain.
Frontend Systems Thinker: You think beyond components. You understand frontend architecture, rendering strategies (SSR, SSG, CSR), data flow, state management, and performance trade-offs at scale.
Strong UI Fundamentals: You have strong fundamentals in HTML, CSS, and modern styling approaches, and you care about UI quality and consistency.
AI-Augmented Workflow: You embrace AI as a non-negotiable part of modern engineering. You actively use tools like Copilot, Cursor, and LLMs to accelerate development, focusing on architecture, UX decisions, and complex problem-solving rather than repetitive coding tasks.
UX & Performance Minded: You care deeply about user experience and performance. You know how to measure, diagnose, and improve frontend performance across devices and network conditions.
Quality & Testing Mindset: You have experience with frontend testing strategies, from unit tests to end-to-end testing.
High Autonomy: You are comfortable in a startup environment where requirements evolve. You can take a business goal or product idea and translate it into a high-quality frontend solution with minimal supervision.

Bonus Points

Experience with Next.js or similar React frameworks.
Experience designing or contributing to design systems or component libraries.
Strong understanding of frontend performance optimization, including code-splitting, caching strategies, and rendering optimizations.
Experience with state management libraries (Redux, Zustand, Recoil, etc.).
Experience with analytics, A/B testing, or experimentation frameworks.
Practical experience integrating frontend applications with complex APIs or real-time systems.
Experience mentoring junior engineers and leading technical discussions, including architectural reviews and frontend best-practice alignment.

Why Join Bettermode?

Modern Stack: We keep our frontend architecture clean, scalable, and modern.
High-Density Talent: Work alongside peers who challenge you to think deeper about architecture, UX, and product quality.
Impact: Your work ships quickly, is visible to customers, and directly shapes how users experience the product.
