Software Engineer - Front End

We're looking for Product Engineers who care deeply about the craft of building software: strong typing, thoughtful API design, robust data modeling, and systems that are a pleasure for other engineers to work with. As an early engineer at Edra, you'll shape not just the product but the engineering culture, tooling choices, and technical foundations the company is built on. We work deliberately and deeply. There's no separation between "building it" and "shipping it"--you'll go from whiteboard to production and own the outcome. We'd rather build something thoughtfully than ship something fragile, and we treat velocity and quality as complementary, not competing.

What You'll Do

• Build high-quality user-facing product experiences. You'll work primarily in TypeScript and React.
• Contribute to frontend architecture decisions.
• Contribute to the direction and design of our product. You should be comfortable working closely with design and able to reason clearly about interface decisions.
• Own your work fully: gather context, manage dependencies, and drive tasks to completion without a product manager handing you tickets
• Wear multiple hats when the work demands it--you might build a component library in the morning, pair with a designer in the afternoon, and trace a bug into the API layer before end of day
• Collaborate with a cross-functional team of engineers and AI experts
• Have direct influence on technical direction--choose tools, set patterns, and establish conventions the team will build on for years
• Continuously improve your skills and share knowledge with the team
• While this is a frontend-focused role, you'll be expected to understand the system well enough to debug backend issues you encounter in day-to-day development

What You’re Looking For

• Good visual and interaction judgment, even if you're not a designer by title
• 3+ years of experience in software engineering (but a computer science degree is not necessarily required)
• A love of writing TypeScript to a genuinely high standard--well-modeled, well-typed, and well-documented. Strong typing feels like a superpower, not a chore
• Experience building libraries, SDKs, or internal tooling that made other developers' lives easier (and you've enjoyed it)
• You're at your best when you own a problem end to end--comfortable with ambiguity and energized by turning a vague problem into a well-scoped solution
• You're drawn to building foundational systems from scratch--greenfield work where your decisions compound over time excites you

Bonus Points

• We use Next.js in production, and experience with it is highly welcome, but strong React fundamentals matter most.
• Experience building APIs, libraries, or design systems
