About the role

As a Senior Staff Frontend Engineer on the Customer Experience team, you will set the technical direction for the customer-facing experiences that define how people buy a vehicle with us.

Define and drive the frontend architecture across the customer purchase journey, making deliberate decisions about component design, state management, rendering strategy, and application structure that the team builds on for years.
Build high-quality, performant customer-facing experiences end-to-end, from pixel-perfect UI implementation through API integration, error handling, and production monitoring.
Own the frontend performance and reliability bar: Core Web Vitals, load time, rendering performance, and the resilience of the UI when backend services or third-party integrations are degraded.
Lead the evolution of our shared component library and design system, ensuring consistency, accessibility, and developer ergonomics across all customer-facing surfaces.
Partner deeply with product and design, shaping interaction patterns and UX decisions from a technical perspective and pushing back when proposed experiences would compromise performance, accessibility, or maintainability.
Conduct deep code and design reviews, author frontend architectural decision records, and establish the engineering practices that define quality for the team.
Mentor and grow senior frontend engineers, expanding their architectural thinking, design system instincts, and ownership of the customer experience.
Champion accessibility and inclusive design as first-class engineering requirements, not post-launch afterthoughts.

Applicants should expect that the role will require the ability to convene with Scout colleagues in person and travel to participate in events on behalf of the company from time to time.
Domestic and international travel may be required.

Experience in automotive, mobility, retail, ecommerce, or digital consumer products.
