Senior Frontend Engineer

Wordware is a company focused on creating intuitive and polished web applications. They are seeking a Senior Frontend Engineer to own the frontend of their product, making design decisions, prototyping, and executing features while ensuring performance and user experience.

Responsibilities:

• You'll own the frontend of Sauna — shipping interfaces that feel instant, intuitive, and polished even when the underlying work is complex
• You'll need to make product and design calls yourself, prototype quickly, and execute without waiting for perfect specs
• Sometimes you'll implement designs. Other times you'll create them
• You can do the DB migration, write the route in the backend, fetch on the frontend, and create the UI for it
• You can take a rough product direction, sketch an interaction, and ship something that feels right
• You know when to cache, when to refetch stale data, and how to optimistically update the UI
• You notice duplicated network requests
• You care about the app feeling snappy and responsive
• You'll need to own some UX decisions, create simple designs when needed, and unblock yourself
• You don't wait for permission or perfect specs. You ship, gather feedback, and iterate
• You care about craft — details like loading states, empty states, error messages, keyboard shortcuts
