Staff Software Engineer - Frontend - Weekday (YC W21)
Responsibilities:
Own and evolve the frontend architecture: Next.js App Router structure, component boundaries, state management strategy (Redux), and data-fetching patterns — applying hexagonal UI principles where the component layer is decoupled from specific backend service contracts
Design and build the most technically complex UI surfaces: real-time attribution dashboards (streaming data), AI-powered campaign builder (LLM response streaming), Elasticsearch-backed customer search with faceted filtering, and platform-embedded opportunity cards
Define the component design system: atomic component library, theming contracts, accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1), and Storybook-based documentation
Establish frontend performance standards: Core Web Vitals targets, bundle size budgets, SSR/SSG strategy with Next.js, lazy loading, and virtualization for large data tables
Lead Next.js architecture decisions: App Router vs. Pages Router tradeoffs, RSC (React Server Components) applicability, streaming SSR for AI-generated content, and API route design
Integrate AI-native frontend patterns: streaming LLM responses into UI components, real-time score updates from Redis/Aerospike via SSE, and Elasticsearch typeahead search
Drive code quality through design reviews, code reviews, pair programming, and frontend-specific engineering standards
Mentor Senior and mid-level frontend engineers — setting the bar for component design, test coverage, and performance discipline
Collaborate closely with backend Staff Engineers to define API contracts and with designers to implement pixel-perfect, accessible UIs
Skills & Qualifications
8+ years of frontend engineering experience with deep React and Next.js expertise in production systems
Mastery of Next.js 14+ App Router, React Server Components, streaming SSR, and static generation —knowing when to apply each pattern
Strong TypeScript expertise: type safety across component props, API contracts, Redux store shape, and server/client boundaries
Deep Redux expertise: slice design, selector optimization, middleware patterns, and RTK Query for data fetching
Proven experience building data-intensive dashboards with real-time data (WebSocket, SSE, or polling) and chart libraries (Recharts, D3.js)
Experience integrating Elasticsearch-powered search UIs: typeahead, faceted search, and result ranking display
Strong frontend performance engineering: bundle analysis, code splitting, memoization, virtualization, and Core Web Vitals optimization
Experience establishing and maintaining component design systems with accessibility standards
Experience mentoring engineers and raising the technical bar across a frontend team
Good to Have
Experience streaming LLM/AI-generated content into React UI components (token streaming, partial rendering patterns)
Familiarity with platform-embedded micro-frontend patterns (module federation or iframe-based embedding)
Background in automotive retail, eCommerce analytics, or SaaS BI/reporting platforms
Experience with Storybook for component documentation and visual regression testing
Perks & Benefits
Competitive compensation and generous stock options
Medical insurance coverage
Work with some of the brightest minds from Silicon Valley's most dominant and successful
