Vendelux also offers Vendelux Meetings, which uses AI to identify high-value attendees and proactively book 1:1 meetings at events, turning insights into measurable pipeline.
You'll join as a Staff Frontend Engineer with a strong technical leadership role. Reporting directly to the Head of Engineering, you'll be responsible for shaping how Vendelux builds and evolves its customer-facing product. This is a full-time, hybrid role based in NYC (4 days in office expected).
Key responsibilities include:
- Own major product experiences end-to-end: technical design, frontend architecture, implementation, testing, measurement, and iteration.
- Build and evolve the web application using TypeScript, React, Shadcn/MUI, and Node.js, with focus on usability, performance, reliability, and maintainability.
- Set technical direction for frontend architecture, patterns, and engineering practices as the product scales.
- Ship high-quality, secure, well-tested software through incremental, data-driven delivery.
- Solve challenging product and technical problems across the stack, working with product, design, data, and backend engineers.
- Partner with operations, revenue teams, and customers to understand product usage and turn feedback into better experiences.
- Identify opportunities to improve frontend performance, developer experience, observability, testing, and application quality.
- Work with leadership to define product roadmap and technical strategy.
- Mentor engineers through pair programming, code reviews, architecture discussions, and hands-on technical leadership.
- Contribute across the stack when appropriate, influencing APIs, data platforms, and infrastructure.
Tech stack: Frontend (TypeScript, React, Shadcn/MUI, Node.js); Backend (Python, Django, TypeScript, Node.js, MySQL, Postgres, AWS, GCP); Data (Python, Dagster, Snowflake); Tools (Linear, GitHub, Datadog, Cursor/Claude Code).
REQUIREMENTS:
- 10+ years of experience building complex software applications, with significant experience building modern web applications.
- Deep experience with TypeScript and React, with strong opinions about building maintainable, performant frontend systems.
- Track record of shaping and shipping valuable product features.
- Strong understanding of frontend architecture, state management, API integration, testing, accessibility, performance, and modern web development practices.
- Experience with component libraries and/or design systems (Shadcn, MUI).
- Comfortable working across the stack and understanding how frontend decisions interact with APIs, databases, data pipelines, and infrastructure.
- Experience deploying production applications and services on AWS or GCP.
- Good judgment around technical debt, architectural tradeoffs, and optimization priorities.
- Comfortable using modern AI development tools to accelerate development.
- Experience with infrastructure as code (IaC), preferably Pulumi.
- Familiarity with network security and protecting production applications.
- Strong written, verbal, and presentation skills for communicating technical decisions to engineers and non-engineers.
- Drive to raise the engineering bar through patterns, tooling, documentation, and best practices.
- Ability to build in the open, share context generously, and help other engineers become more effective.
- Experience with data-intensive applications is a plus; familiarity with moving, ingesting, and transforming data at scale is valuable but not required.
