Staff Frontend Web Application Engineer

Team Snap is seeking a Staff Frontend Web Application Engineer to join our fully distributed engineering team to help us continue our impressive growth from 2+ million daily active users to beyond!

Our stack employs project generation tools and is built in Typescript with React.

What You’ll Do

• Design, build and optimize high-performance Type Script & React SPAs powered by RESTful APIs for complex sports-organization workflows.
• Collaborate with Product and Design to extend our design system with reusable, accessible components, theming, tokens and responsive patterns.
• Advocate modern front‑end practices—type safety, component‑driven architecture, responsive layouts, and performance optimizations like lazy loading and caching strategies.
• Partner with backend, mobile, QA, and product teams to define APIs, create and refine specs, shape architecture, and ensure end‑to‑end quality.
• Mentor and up‑level team members through code reviews, pairing, leading our web guild, etc to elevate our practices and craft.
• Ensure reliability by writing unit, integration, and E2E tests, integrating with CI/CD, and rotating on‑call to diagnose and resolve incidents.
• Lead projects to improve our coding practices and principles along with build performance, test infrastructure, and CI/CD workflows—driving adoption and reducing cycle‑time friction for the team.
• Evaluate and adopt AI‑driven tooling—code generation assistants, refactoring bots, LLM‑powered test generation—to boost velocity and quality.
• Continuously explore emerging web technologies (e. g. micro‑frontends) and make data‑driven recommendations to keep Team Snap moving forward using relevant technologies and practices.

What Will Set You Up for Success

• 8+ years building production‑scale web applications with React, advanced Type Script, and modern toolchains (Vite, Webpack, or similar).
• 2+ years in a Staff/Tech‑Lead role shaping frontend vision, driving standards, and mentoring senior engineers.
• Proven record integrating REST services and managing complex UI state with Context API, Redux, Zustand, or equivalent.
• Hands‑on experience architecting or evolving component libraries/design systems with a strong emphasis on responsive, mobile‑first design with design tokens and theming techniques.
• Demonstrated high‑quality delivery through automated tests (unit, snapshot, E2E), configuring CI/CD workflows, and using observability tools to measure performance and error rates.
• Comfortable shaping RESTful APIs alongside backend teams, defining type‑safe data contracts and handling async state in complex UI flows.
• Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to give and receive constructive feedback, mentor engineers, influence cross‑team alignment and articulate technical trade‑offs to non‑technical stakeholders.

Bonus

• Experience with micro‑frontend architectures and/or SSR frameworks.
• Familiarity with performance profiling (Lighthouse, Web Vitals) and advanced caching/CDN strategies.
• Demonstrated ability to leverage AI assistants, code‑generation tools, or LLM services to streamline development tasks, improve DX, or prototype new features.
