About the role

GlossGenius has been empowering independent entrepreneurs in the beauty and wellness space to pursue their dreams and successfully grow their businesses.
As we continue to scale, we're strengthening our App Platform team.
As a Staff Frontend Engineer on the App Platform team, you will play a leading technical role in shaping our web platform at GlossGenius.

Architect and drive the development of scalable, reusable frontend components and shared libraries that power GlossGenius web applications.
Define and lead the long-term technical direction of our web platform, including framework decisions, architecture patterns, and developer experience.
Partner closely with product managers, designers, and engineering teams across the org to align on and deliver a cohesive, high-quality web experience.
Set the standard for frontend best practices - including code quality, accessibility, performance optimization, and design system consistency - and actively raise the bar across engineering.
Own and drive improvements to frontend tooling, build pipelines, and developer workflows to increase velocity across engineering teams.
Identify systemic problems and proactively propose and implement solutions that have broad impact across multiple teams.
This team is foundational to everything we build - from enabling developer velocity to ensuring web reliability and performance at scale.
We also believe AI is a force multiplier for great engineering, and we're actively embedding AI-powered tooling and practices into how we build and ship software.

7+ years of professional frontend engineering experience, with a strong focus on web, and a track record of leading high-impact technical work.
Deep expertise in React and JavaScript, with a strong command of modern frontend architecture and patterns.
Strong proficiency in TypeScript, CSS-in-JS, and responsive/adaptive design principles.
Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools (e.g. Cursor, GitHub Copilot) and a genuine enthusiasm for using AI to accelerate engineering productivity.
Ability to work with a high degree of autonomy, driving projects from ambiguous problem statements to polished, production-ready solutions.
Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to influence technical direction and align stakeholders across teams.
You must be commutable to our NYC or SF headquarters.
We default to being in-office 3-4 days per week with required attendance on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Familiarity with React Native or cross-platform mobile development is a plus, but not required.

No final hiring decision will be made solely by AI Tools without human oversight.

The base pay range is subject to change and may be modified in the future.
Businesses on GlossGenius process billions in annual payment volume, and see 65% more revenue using GlossGenius Payments by growing ticket size, rebooking clients at checkout, and saving on processing fees.

Additionally, this role is currently eligible to participate in GlossGenius's equity plan as well as a range of health & wellbeing, retirement savings, and other benefits within our total rewards offering.
We believe this benefits not only our employees but our product, customers, and community as well.
GlossGenius may use automated tools, including artificial intelligence and machine learning systems (AI Tools), to assist in evaluating applicants' qualifications and fitness for the position.
The base salary offered is dependent upon many factors including skills, experience, location, and education.

We are not owners of individual features but enablers of scalable, consistent, and high-quality engineering.
Our mission is to provide the foundation that helps every team move faster, build better, and scale with confidence.
At GlossGenius, we celebrate our differences and are committed to creating a workplace where all employees feel supported and empowered to do their best work.
