Senior Frontend Engineer - Editor and Graphics

The Pitch

You'll be building the content editor that top-tier organizations from Amazon to the NFL, and the Premier League, as well as some of the largest media, entertainment and consumer brands globally, use every day. Backed by reputable investors including Charge Ventures, Interplay, Titletown Tech and WISE Ventures, we are scaling rapidly and building innovative tools to transform social media content creation for teams.

This isn't form validation and API calls. You'll be building canvas-based creative tools, solving tough real-time collaboration problems, and shipping features that thousands of creators rely on. The work is technically challenging, visually rewarding, and directly impacts how major brands communicate with millions of fans.

We're a small remote team located across 15 countries where your work ships fast and gets noticed. You'll ship to production your first week and own meaningful features within weeks.

What You'll Actually Do

Build creative tools people love using

• Extend our canvas-based video editor with new features using PixiJS and WebGL
• Turn design mockups into pixel-perfect, performant interactions
• Tackle hard frontend problems: undo/redo, layer management, animations, transitions, responsive canvas and much more

Grow the collaboration layer

• Build features on top of our existing collaboration infrastructure
• Ship co-editing, commenting, and approval workflows that teams actually use

Work with people who care about craft

• Partner with the team to extend the editor architecture
• Collaborate with designers who sweat the details
• Learn from specialists in video rendering and media processing

You'd Be a Great Fit If

You have the experience:

• 5+ years building complex frontend applications
• Deep Angular and TypeScript knowledge — you architect components, not just use them
• You think in RxJS and reactive patterns naturally

You've done work like this before:

• Built interactive graphics (Canvas, PixiJS, WebGL, or similar)
• Worked on video editor tools, creative software, or design applications
• Solved hard performance problems that improved users' experience

You work the way we work:

• You own the outcomes, not just the tasks
• You communicate clearly in English, both written and verbal
• You use AI tools to move faster — and take responsibility for the output
