bunch is building the operating infrastructure for private markets, combining AI-powered automation with deep regulatory expertise to replace fragmented processes with an integrated platform. The company has 4x'd ARR in 2025, crossed 150 fund managers and 12,000 LPs, and closed a $35M Series B in May 2026. As a Staff Frontend Engineer, you will shape the architecture, quality, and developer experience of the product surfaces that customers and internal teams rely on daily. You will work across product teams to make frontend systems scalable, reliable, accessible, and fast while helping engineers ship with clarity and confidence. This role is not purely delivery-focused; your decisions will influence how frontend engineering at bunch evolves: the standards adopted, patterns reused, quality bar held, and collaboration between product, design, and engineering. Top priorities include: (1) leading the migration from Svelte to React while maintaining architectural coherence and product delivery velocity; (2) maintaining and evolving the design system with the frontend guild to enable faster, consistent, accessible UI shipping; (3) supporting and guiding frontend initiatives across teams on application architecture, performance, testing strategy, developer experience, and technical debt reduction; (4) raising the bar for UX and UI quality through design reviews, reusable patterns, mentoring, and technical writing; (5) advancing AI-native engineering practices by identifying where agentic tooling genuinely improves practice and shaping the codebase accordingly. In your first 90 days: map the frontend architecture, product domains, design system, team workflows, and bottlenecks (30 days); publish a structured problem analysis and proposal for a cross-team frontend initiative with clear trade-offs and success measures (60 days); lead a systemic improvement from kickoff to measurable progress while helping Senior Engineers grow (90 days). The tech stack includes TypeScript, React, Svelte (consolidating to React), Node.js, Nest.js, MySQL, Kubernetes on AWS, GitHub, FusionAuth, Okta, Retool, Twilio, SendGrid, and Tally. The company offers a customizable benefits package covering wellbeing, sport, mobility, and food; 28 days vacation plus 2 company days and local public holidays; remote-flexible hybrid setup with up to 6 remote calendar weeks per year; and a diverse team of 130+ from 40+ countries. REQUIREMENTS: - Track record of operating at Staff scope (with or without title) and shipping systemic frontend or product-engineering improvements across multiple teams - Deep expertise in modern frontend engineering: TypeScript, component architecture, state management, design systems, accessibility, performance, testing, and maintainable application architecture - Daily use of AI coding tools with experience beyond autocomplete into agentic workflows; considered view on where they genuinely help and what codebases need to support them - Product judgment: care about user experience as much as technical solutions; ability to translate ambiguous workflows and business constraints into pragmatic, elegant product experiences - Systems thinking: comfortable reasoning across frontend, backend, APIs, infrastructure, observability, security, and compliance - Operating style: think in quarters and years; drive cross-team change through credibility, clear writing, architectural reasoning, and stakeholder alignment rather than authority - Collaborative leadership: proactive relationship-builder who sets technical direction and influences without formal authority; manages diverse stakeholders; mentors engineers - Fluent English (written and spoken) to make complex technical decisions legible to engineers, product, design, and leadership
