Senior Front End Engineer

Who you are

• Senior Engineer – Typically 5+ years of experience. Delivers complex solutions independently and contributes to technical decisions
• Staff Engineer – Typically 8+ years of experience. Leads cross-functional initiatives, drives technical direction, and mentors others
• We hire based on impact and capability, not just years of experience. We encourage you to apply and your level will be fully determined and agreed in the interview process
• Experience with React Native and TypeScript or cross-platform mobile development
• Familiarity with Next.js or similar SSR/SSG frameworks and edge-rendering patterns
• Proficient with modern state management (Zustand, Redux Toolkit, React Query, or similar) and REST/GraphQL data-fetching patterns
• Strong UI engineering fundamentals, including responsive/adaptive design, accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA), cross-browser and cross-platform compatibility, and thoughtful use of motion and animation
• Comfortable with frontend testing: unit, integration, and end-to-end (Jest, React Testing Library, Playwright or Cypress)
• Experience building or maintaining a shared design system or component library at team scale
• Contributions to open-source projects or public technical writing that demonstrates depth of craft
• Exposure to web3 or digital-goods purchasing flows (not required—but we’re curious)
• Demonstrated ownership of consumer-facing products at a meaningful scale of millions of users or transactions.
• Experience with experiment-driven product development, using A/B testing and quantitative analysis to validate hypotheses and guide iteration
• AI curiosity and fluency with tools like Cursor, Claude, or ChatGPT is a plus
• Collaborative mindset with a passion for solving problems and building great products
• Prior work in a two-sided marketplace, ticketing, or high-transaction-volume e-commerce product is preferred

What the job involves

• We’re hiring Senior and Staff Front End Engineers at Gametime to help build and scale the systems, applications, and experiences that power Gametime for millions of users. You’ll own a significant surface area of our consumer-facing web and mobile web experience—the product millions of fans use to discover events, find the best seats, and complete purchases in seconds
• You’ll work closely with Product, Design, and backend engineers to ship features that move core metrics, and you’ll raise the bar on craft, performance, and reliability across the team
• This is a high-ownership role on a small, focused team. You’ll be expected to drive technical decisions, mentor other engineers, and partner directly with stakeholders to define how features get built—not just implement what’s handed to you
• Own high quality end-to-end delivery of major consumer-facing features—from technical design through launch, experimentation, and iteration
• Drive frontend architecture decisions: component design, state management, data-fetching patterns, and performance budgets
• Build and optimize conversion-critical flows (event discovery, seat selection, checkout) with a relentless focus on speed, reliability, and UX quality
• Design, instrument, and interpret A/B experiments in partnership with Product and Data; use results to validate and sharpen product decisions
• Instrument frontend observability—error tracking, performance monitoring, real-user metrics—and act on what you find
• Contribute to design-system components and front-end standards that accelerate the whole team
• Mentor junior and mid-level engineers through code review, pairing, and technical leadership on shared initiatives
• Collaborate with mobile, backend, and platform teams to deliver cohesive cross-platform experiences
