About the Role

We’re looking for an exceptional Founding Frontend Engineer to join our early-stage team and play a key role in building a world-class digital product from the ground up.

This is a rare opportunity to work alongside a founding team composed of unicorn founders and top industry leaders from globally recognized companies. You’ll help define the technical foundation, product experience, and culture of a fast-growing startup from day one.

As our frontend expert, you’ll have full ownership of the stack and collaborate closely with the founding team to design and deliver a seamless, high-performing product.

What You’ll Do

  • Design, build, and maintain robust, scalable, and high-performing frontend applications using Next.js and TypeScript.
  • Collaborate closely with product, design, and backend teams to bring ideas to life.
  • Establish and evolve our frontend architecture, code standards, and best practices.
  • Contribute to product direction and technical decision-making as an early team member.
  • Optimize application performance, accessibility, and user experience.
  • Act as a mentor and thought leader as the engineering team grows.

What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years of professional experience as a Frontend Engineer.
  • Extensive hands-on experience with Next.js and TypeScript — capable of delivering production-grade applications end-to-end.
  • Previous experience working in North American startups or tech companies is required.
  • Proven ability to thrive in fast-paced, high-ownership startup environments.
  • Strong understanding of modern web architecture, performance optimization, and design systems.
  • Excellent communication skills and fluency in English.
  • Passion for product development, user experience, and building products from zero to one.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with backend integration (REST or GraphQL APIs).
  • Familiarity with cloud deployment (e.g., AWS, Vercel).
  • Previous founding team or early-stage startup experience.

Why Join Us

  • Collaborate directly with unicorn founders and top market players who bring deep expertise and vision.
  • Be part of the founding team, shaping both the product and the company’s technical DNA.
  • Direct impact on key decisions, architecture, and long-term product direction.
  • Work in a dynamic, mission-driven, and innovative environment.
  • Competitive compensation with potential equity participation.
