About the Company
A Series B consumer AI company whose platform lets anyone create games and interactive experiences with generative AI, already serving tens of millions of users ahead of its US launch.
The Role
Our client is hiring a Frontend Member of Technical Staff (7+ years, Staff/L6 level) to help scale the company as it prepares for its US launch. Think of it like joining a major consumer platform in its early days: high ownership, no politics, and the architecture challenges of a product already serving tens of millions of users. You will report to the founding frontend engineer and guide technical direction as a senior individual contributor.
What You Will Do
- Own and build core user-facing features across creation and discovery on the company using React, Next.js and React Native.
- Solve scaling and performance challenges as the platform doubles users every three months.
- Work across the full frontend stack, from caching and server pages on Vercel to authentication and backend integration.
- Ship new features daily in a fast-moving, zero-to-one environment.
What You Bring
- 7-12 years of frontend engineering with React on consumer-facing products, at Staff (L6) level
- L6-level experience at a top consumer tech company or equivalent
- Frontend experience on consumer platforms or marketplaces at scale
- CS, EECS or equivalent degree from a top-50 university
- Takes ideas independently from concept to shipped product; decisive and fast-moving
- A Staff-level IC focus (not seeking to manage)
- Ability to work in the Palo Alto office 4 days a week
Nice to Have
- Data-rich, real-time, high-quality user interfaces
- Backend code that connects to the frontend
Interview Process
Intro call with the Head of Talent (30 min), intro call with the CTO (30 min), technical screen (1 hour), on-site final round (half day).
Tech Stack
