Creative Fabrica is a subscription platform serving millions of creators, designers, and crafters worldwide. The company offers Studio AI, a suite of 26+ specialized AI tools that automate technical work (image generation, background removal, font creation, design production), and a content library of 15+ million commercially-licensed fonts, graphics, SVGs, and templates. The Studio AI team is rebuilding and redesigning Studio into a fast, ambitious, and polished product experience. You will join as a Senior Frontend Engineer to own complex UI, push ideas, and make Studio feel snappy and delightful to use. In this role, you will: - Build and ship high-quality product UI for Studio in React and TypeScript - Own complex frontend features end-to-end: architecture, implementation, polish, and production follow-through - Obsess over performance: load time, runtime responsiveness, rendering, and perceived speed in a heavy creative/AI product - Partner tightly with Product Design to turn Figma into buildable reality and improve the experience together - Bring ideas to the table, including better interactions, smarter component patterns, UX improvements, and technical approaches that make creators faster - Raise the quality bar for frontend code: clarity, maintainability, testing, and reusable systems - Work with APIs, state, and real-time or media-heavy flows typical of an AI creative suite - Collaborate with backend and platform engineers to deliver reliable, scalable product experiences - Use AI tools to accelerate your own work without lowering engineering standards - Help shape frontend standards, reviews, and technical direction as a senior voice on the team - Stay current with React, TypeScript, modern frontend performance practices, and AI product UX patterns This is not a pure "implement the mock" role. You are expected to work independently and resourcefully, dig in, figure things out, and ship. You will have real ownership: sometimes you will get clear design and scope; other times you will be expected to shape the solution yourself and raise the bar for how Studio feels and performs. REQUIREMENTS: - 5+ years of professional frontend engineering experience shipping production web applications - Strong proficiency with React and TypeScript in real product codebases (not only prototypes) - Deep understanding of frontend performance: rendering, bundling, caching, profiling, and fixing real bottlenecks - Experience building complex, interactive product UI (dashboards, editors, creative tools, or similarly rich apps) - Comfortable using AI tools to accelerate your own engineering process - Good written and spoken English - Creative and proactive: comfortable proposing ideas, not only implementing briefs - Thrives in ambiguity: clarifies incomplete requirements, makes sound calls, and keeps shipping without waiting for perfect specs - Independent and resourceful: unblocks yourself, finds answers fast, and owns delivery without heavy hand-holding, while still partnering well with design and engineering NICE TO HAVE: - Experience with AI products, generative-media tools, creative editors, or other media-heavy web apps - Experience in a startup, agency, or other high-pace product environment - Experience with design systems, component libraries, or improving frontend architecture at scale Note: You must already be living in Australia or New Zealand to be considered for this role.
