Job description

Join to apply for the Senior Front End Engineer role at Secta Labs.

Secta Labs helps people create photos indistinguishable from reality. We are a team of experienced founders, engineers, and builders. Our mission is to build a virtual camera for people’s sense of self. We’re starting by democratizing first impressions with our Headshots with AI product.

We’ve generated over 9 million headshots in the last year.

About The Role

Note we are only accepting candidates from the US or Canada at this time.

We are looking for a Senior Front-end Engineer to join our early team. You deeply care about your craft and the aesthetics. You have worked on things that others might see as a waste of time, but these things were technically challenging and the beauty was enough reward. You may be a bit obsessive, but you understand how to take a product vision and develop it into a usable first version using proven design patterns and elegant solutions.

You love collaborating with designers and PMs in Figma and Excalidraw. You come up with growth hack ideas and fix broken things without asking for permission. Join us to shape the products our customers experience and our company and engineering culture!

Skills And Experience

• 5+ years of experience as a frontend-focused engineer
• Proficiency in React, NextJS, and TypeScript
• Deep knowledge of frontend concepts related to aesthetics, design, and usability
• Attention to detail, can spot extra padding and tell apart Inter from Helvetica
• Know keyboard shortcuts in Figma and Excalidraw
• Ability to communicate your ideas to engineers, leadership, and users
• Flexible and comfortable with the ambiguity of working in a rapidly changing environment
• Highly collaborative and proactively seek out feedback to incorporate into your work

Bonus

• Experience with backend: used ORMs, deployed to Railway, understand caching and scaling
• Have shipped a React Native app to production
• Self-taught design skills
• Built side projects, played with Stable Diffusion, or already used Bun

What you’ll be working on

Our projects and priorities will change as we explore and iterate. Here are some examples of things you’ll be working on:

• Onboarding flow for our iOS application (React Native)
• Checkout flow on web using Stripe’s React SDK
• New AI features in our Gallery
• New design system (e.g., with Storybook)
• The next version of our Enterprise dashboard for larger companies like Microsoft, Dell, and Hubspot
• Working with the growth team to come up with innovative viral loops

How we work

• Everyone works remotely, but we get together at least 2 times a year
• We believe that smaller teams are better: faster decisions, fewer meetings, more fun
• We value deep, focused work. Our engineers are on a maker’s schedule
• Our core app is built with TypeScript, React, NextJS, tRPC & Prisma, styled with Tailwind
• On the ML side, we work with cutting-edge image generation AI tech
• We ship fast — our build pipeline takes less than 3 minutes, and we are not afraid to push code on Fridays
• We constantly talk to our users, and it’s easy to get feedback on the new features we ship
• We invest in things that make us more productive
