Job description

About the Role

At Ravenna, we are looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer who cares deeply about building high quality web experiences. You will be responsible for designing and implementing the user interfaces that power Ravenna's core product.

This role requires strong frontend engineering fundamentals and a deep understanding of how modern web applications work under the hood. You will build complex interfaces, collaborate closely with design, and ensure that the product feels fast, responsive, and polished.

You will work closely with product, design, and backend engineers to translate ideas into thoughtful user experiences. Engineers on our team care about performance, maintainable code, and building systems that scale as the product grows.

If you enjoy building polished web applications, obsessing over details, and pushing the boundaries of what great web interfaces can feel like, we would love to talk.

Responsibilities

Build high quality user interfaces

Design and implement complex product interfaces using React, NextJS, and TypeScript. Build components and interaction patterns that support a rich and evolving product experience.

Own the frontend architecture

Help design and evolve the frontend architecture of the Ravenna platform. Ensure that the codebase remains scalable, maintainable, and easy to extend as the product grows.

Collaborate closely with design

Work closely with product and design to translate high fidelity designs into thoughtful implementations. Ensure that the final product matches design intent while maintaining strong engineering standards.

Optimize performance and responsiveness

Ensure the product feels fast and responsive across a wide range of environments. Diagnose performance issues related to rendering, network behavior, and browser performance.

Build reusable component systems

Develop reusable components and UI patterns that allow the team to move quickly while maintaining consistency across the product.

Maintain strong engineering practices

Write clean, maintainable, and well tested code. Participate in code reviews and contribute to engineering practices that keep the codebase healthy and easy to work in.

Improve developer experience

Help improve the frontend development environment through better tooling, documentation, and architecture decisions.

About You

Deep expertise in React

You have extensive experience building production applications with React and TypeScript. You understand how React works internally and can reason about rendering behavior, component lifecycles, and state management.

Strong understanding of the web platform

You have a deep understanding of how the browser works. You are comfortable working directly with the DOM and understand topics such as layout, rendering, event propagation, and browser performance.

Performance focused mindset

You think carefully about performance when building interfaces. You are comfortable diagnosing rendering bottlenecks, minimizing unnecessary re-renders, and improving application responsiveness.

Experience building design driven products

You have worked on products where the quality of the user interface is critical. You care about details such as spacing, animation, responsiveness, and visual polish.

Strong engineering fundamentals

You are a strong software engineer with experience building production systems. You think carefully about maintainability, code organization, and long term system health.

Collaboration with design and product

You enjoy working closely with designers and product teams. You are comfortable translating design concepts into technical implementations and proposing improvements when necessary.

Ownership and product mindset

You take ownership of the systems you build and care about how they behave in production. You enjoy building products that people rely on every day.
