About the role
- This individual will be primarily responsible for the Nylas Dashboard, but the scope extends beyond frontend pages.
- This is a foundational role for someone who wants to shape how developers interact with Nylas in the AI era.
- Our APIs and platform help developers integrate email, calendar, scheduling, contacts, notetakers, and agent accounts into their applications without managing the complexity underneath.
Responsibilities
- Build and own core Dashboard infrastructure, including the application shell, navigation, layout patterns, shared components, and product surfaces used across Nylas.
- Design and implement full-stack product experiences across frontend, backend APIs, data models, permissions, service integrations, and deployment paths.
- Build AI-native and agent-facing experiences that help users configure products, understand errors, debug integrations, apply best practices, and operate Nylas more effectively.
- Partner with backend and platform teams to design clean APIs and service boundaries that support excellent user experiences.
- Drive performance as a product feature. Profile, measure, and optimize Dashboard interactions so the product feels fast and responsive.
- Create reusable abstractions and shared patterns that help other engineering teams ship product surfaces consistently.
- Collaborate closely with Design, Product, Customer Success, Solutions Engineering, and Developer Relations to translate customer feedback into product improvements.
Requirements
- 4+ years of experience as a software engineer building user-facing products.
- Strong full-stack engineering experience, especially with modern frontend development using React, TypeScript, and component-driven architecture.
- Comfort working in ambiguous product areas.
- You can take a rough problem statement, clarify the goal, make pragmatic tradeoffs, and turn it into shipped software.
Nice to have
- Experience working on dashboards, developer portals, control planes, admin surfaces, or platform products.
- Experience with Next.js, GraphQL, REST APIs, Go, gRPC, Postgres, Redis, or cloud-native service architectures.
- Contributions to open source projects, especially in the React, TypeScript, frontend infrastructure, or developer tooling ecosystem.

Company info
- At Nylas, we are building the infrastructure that powers modern communications.
- The Nylas Dashboard is the control plane for that platform.
- It is where customers create applications, connect accounts, configure domains, manage grants, debug issues, explore product capabilities, monitor logs, and understand how their integrations are performing.
- As Nylas continues to evolve for an AI-native future, the Dashboard must evolve with it.
- We are turning it from a traditional admin surface into a fast, intuitive, intelligent product experience that helps developers ship faster, understand what is happening across their integrations, and confidently operate full-stack communication workflows.
- If you want to help modernize a developer platform for the AI future we are already in, this role is for you.
