- Improve frontend reliability, latency, and scalability in a real-time, high-throughput environment
- Lead debugging, incident response, and performance investigations for frontend systems
- Mentor and coach engineers, raising the bar for frontend engineering across the team
What we’re looking for
- 3+ years of experience in software engineering, with deep frontend expertise
- Strong experience with TypeScript and modern web application development
- Solid understanding of client networking, async programming, performance optimization, caching, and client-side state management
- Experience integrating with GraphQL and REST APIs
- Proven ability to lead technical initiatives and influence architecture and best practices
- Experience mentoring junior engineers and supporting team growth
- Comfort working outside your immediate comfort zone and adapting as the product and team evolve
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience building or operating delivery, logistics, or real-time systems at scale
- Full-stack experience and an understanding of backend tradeoffs and system design
- Track record of improving developer productivity through tooling, patterns, or process improvements
- Familiarity with modern frontend architecture best practices, including performance, security, and usability
Why join us
- Drive real impact: Be part of building the operational engine behind a fast-growing startup that’s redefining how work gets done.
- Own your city: Take full ownership of your city’s performance and see the direct results of your ideas and execution every single day.
- Work with purpose: Join a mission-driven team focused on making the workplace experience better for thousands of people.
- Grow with us: At Picnic, there’s room to grow—personally and professionally—as we scale and take on new challenges together.
