Senior Frontend Engineer

About Meaningful Gigs:

Our mission is to redesign the future of creative work. To date, we have done that by connecting iconic brands like Google, Meta, and Starbucks to untapped African creative talent. From these experiences, we have seen the inefficiencies in the creative process. Now, we’re taking what we have learned and creating a product that uses AI to accelerate the underappreciated parts of creative workflows. Feedback has been very positive, and we need your help as we launch and iterate!

About the role:

In this role, you will help build the frontend of the web application our customers use to collaborate on creative tasks. Examples of technology we’ve worked on recently include multiplayer infinite canvases and a design review interface.

What’s awesome about this role is:

• Build unique AI-powered features: we are building tools that were not even possible until recently, and they are blowing customers’ minds.
• High velocity: we get things done fast. Partly that’s due to tooling such as branch environments and fully automated deployments. Partly that’s due to the team’s seniority. And partly it’s due to a culture where we prioritize, focus, and don’t let excessive process get in the way of results.
• Impact: this is a critical role as we build a new product with the potential to change how creatives and marketers work.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has written web app frontends for at least 5 years
• Is comfortable working in JavaScript or TypeScript
• Is excited to be part of the product process and takes a user-oriented view of their work. We won’t ask you to be a PM or designer, but we expect you to collaborate and take ownership when the specs inevitably don’t cover every detail
• Is comfortable communicating clearly and often, and raising your hand when you have questions
• Is thorough in their work, internally motivated, and excited about our mission

Bonus points if you have experience:

• Using Tailwind, React, and/or Next.js
• Working as a full stack or backend engineer, especially in Node.js
• Working in a Product or Design role

**This role requires the employee to be available to work Eastern Time (ET) hours.
