What You'll Do
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.
Stack
TypeScript, React, Tanstack, Zustand, TailwindCSS, IndexedDB, Cloudflare Workers.
Who You Are
Minimum
-
4+ years of frontend engineering with a portfolio of complex web apps you've shipped — we want to see multiplayer experiences, apps handling large data with sophisticated fetching and caching, or work with server-sent events (SSE).
-
You love React and deeply understand state management. You know when to
useMemo, how callbacks work, the component lifecycle, and you write beautiful, reusable components. You recognise when props are being drilled through multiple layers and should be lifted into context or Zustand instead.
