Staff Software Engineer, Frontend

What You'll Do

Architect and drive the development of scalable, reusable frontend components and shared libraries that every product team at Genius AI 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 Genius AI 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

What We're Looking For

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
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
Proven experience building and evolving component libraries, design systems, or shared UI frameworks that other engineers rely on.
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
Strong communicator who can influence technical direction and align stakeholders across teams without relying on positional authority
