Job description

Staff Engineer, Web Team (Next.js, React)

We’re looking for a Staff Front-End Engineer who can bring world‑class craft, taste, and engineering excellence to our product experience. We find purpose in enabling others to build things that improve their lives. We make software development enjoyable, batteries‑included, and productive. We unlock developers, start‑ups, and enterprises to confidently ship and scale amazing application at a velocity they didn't think was possible.

What You’ll Do

• In parternship with Marketing, lead the front‑end architecture of our core products using Next.js/React ensuring exceptional performance, reliability, and developer experience
• Own the user experience end‑to‑end: from partnering with design to crafting highly interactive, elegant interfaces that feel as good as they look
• Implement thoughtful, scalable front‑end systems and component libraries that elevate quality and speed across the entire engineering org
• Shape the integration layer between our React front‑end and Laravel back‑end, building clean, resilient APIs and data flows
• Push the boundaries of modern web performance — optimizing for speed, interactivity, and fluid motion across devices
• Collaborate closely with Product and Design to prototype quickly, iterate intentionally, and ship experiences that feel premium and effortless
• Mentor engineers across front‑end and full‑stack teams, raising the bar for craft, code quality, and design sensitivity
• Contribute to the long‑term technical vision for how developers build and ship on Laravel Cloud

Requirements

• 8+ years of experience building production‑scale web applications, with deep expertise in Next.js, React, TypeScript, and modern front‑end architecture
• Taste. You have a strong aesthetic sense and care deeply about the nuance of spacing, animation, typography, and interaction fidelity
• Demonstrated experience building polished, high‑performance user interfaces admired for their clarity and speed
• Strong systems‑thinking: You can design component models, state management patterns, data‑loading strategies, and routing architectures that scale elegantly
• A collaborative mindset with the ability to productively partner with designers, backend engineers, and product leaders
• Experience integrating with or building back‑ends — ideally Laravel, PHP, or modern REST/GraphQL API stacks
• A bias toward iteration: prototype fast, refine continuously, and ship without compromising on quality
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to drive cross‑functional decisions at staff level

Bonus Skills

• Experience contributing to or maintaining design systems at scale
• Familiarity with server components, edge rendering, caching strategies, and Web Vitals optimization
• Contributions to open source in the React/Next.js ecosystem
• Experience at developer‑platform or cloud‑infrastructure companies
• A personal portfolio or GitHub that demonstrates craft, attention to detail, and sophistication in front‑end engineering

Benefits

• Fully remote and globally distributed working environment
• Health care plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
• Paid time off (Vacation, Sick & Public holidays)
• Family leave (Maternity, Paternity)
• Pension plans (As locally applicable)
• Performance based bonus plan
• Company equity
