Job description

Front-End Engineer (Mid-Level) Job Description

Owning a home has slipped out of reach for millions of Americans. Cedar has built a model that changes that, we’ve proven it by closing deals, and now we’re scaling. As our mid-level front-end engineer, you’ll build what people touch every day: the screens a family uses to figure out whether Cedar can get them into a home. You get the stability of a company that’s proven its model, plus the ownership and scope of an early hire.

How we work: results over hours, straight feedback, and problems fixed at the root. People who learn fast and take ownership earn serious responsibility quickly. The bar is high, but you won’t be clearing it alone, and the people around you are very good at what they do.

AI is central to how we build. We invest heavily in our tooling so a small team can ship like a much bigger one, and we want people who keep pushing on what these tools can do. They are meant to speed you up, not to think for you, and you own the result.

What you’ll get

• Ownership from week one. You’ll be shipping to customers, not waiting around for permission.
• Room to grow. Take on more as soon as you’re ready, not on a fixed timeline.
• A small, sharp team and tooling that’s a pleasure to work with, so your time goes to the interesting problems.
• Competitive pay and meaningful equity, so you share in what you help build.

Responsibilities

• Build and own the consumer-facing web app in React, TypeScript, and Next.js.
• Lean on our AI tooling to ship quickly, and help make it better as you go.
• Be fanatical about testing your assumptions and judging your work by outcomes. AI speeds you up, but it doesn’t think for you, so the verification is on you.
• Take dense financial logic and turn it into screens people can understand and trust.
• Work shoulder to shoulder with design and product, from rough idea to shipped, accessible UI.
• Own features from build to release, then watch how people use them and make them better.
• Keep the bar high in code review, write tests that matter, and chase bugs to their root cause.

Your first 90 days

• First couple of weeks: get set up, ship a small change to production, and learn how we work.
• First month: own a feature end to end, from design handoff through release.
• By 90 days: you’re the go-to person for a meaningful slice of the consumer app.

Skills

• A few years (roughly 3+) building production web apps with React and TypeScript.
• You’re solid on HTML and CSS, and you make things work on a phone, not just a laptop.
• You’ve worked with APIs, REST or GraphQL, and testing is just part of how you build.
• You’re excited about our AI tooling and want to push it further.
• You work well independently and enjoy the back-and-forth between product, design, and engineering.
• Bonus: a good eye for design and comfort working in Figma.
• Bonus: you’ve worked on accessibility (WCAG) before.
