Frontend Engineer at Raylu

Position Summary

We’re hiring a Frontend Engineer who is both opinionated and design-oriented. You will own end-to-end delivery of interfaces: architecture, performance, accessibility, and the actual UX. If you care as much about micro-interactions as data loading strategies, you’ll fit right in.

What we’re looking for

• Modern FE stack: React + Next.js, Tailwind, Vercel, Zustand, React Query.

• Design + UX ownership: You sweat details, shape interaction patterns, and push for visual clarity.

• System thinking: Build component libraries/design systems that scale across products.

• Performance & quality: Exemplary Core Web Vitals, accessibility, testing, and error handling.

• Product instincts: You can turn vague ideas into crisp flows and ship quickly.

• Opinionated: Deep level of understanding of the technological landscape, making both high level framework and granular code design decisions based on understanding rather than preference - diving deep on unknown patterns in order to build the best product.

Responsibilities

• Lead the architecture and delivery of complex, data-rich UIs.

• Define state management and data-fetching patterns for reliability and speed.

• Partner tightly with design and product; contribute to UX research and prototyping.

• Establish FE best practices: design tokens, theming, testing, and CI/CD for the web.

• Create and contribute to storybook and reusable components to standardize all customer facing surfaces.

Logistics:

• Compensation: $190K - $230K salary, competitive equity (4 year vest)

• Location: New York City. We are a fully in-office team working out of Midtown Manhattan Monday through Friday. We allow for WFH days when anyone is traveling, but we do not allow for permanent remote work.

• Benefits:

  • Generous health, dental, and vision insurance

  • 401k with 3% automatic contribution (no vesting)

  • Paid Lunches

  • Wellness and Citi Bike benefit

  • Unlimited PTO
