Senior Frontend Engineer

This position is ideal for a Senior Frontend Engineer with 4+ years of experience in React and TypeScript, who excels in building scalable SaaS applications and user-facing features. Ideal candidates should be comfortable working in a remote, async-first team, have strong ownership of projects, and experience with browser extensions or embedded JS widgets is a plus. It's perfect for those passionate about clean UI, performance, and collaboration across product, design, and QA.

1. How do you ensure high performance and testability in React components?
   I build modular, reusable components with hooks and memoization, write unit and integration tests using Jest and Testing Library, and use Storybook for isolated component development and documentation.

2. What challenges have you faced working with embedded JavaScript libraries or browser extensions?
   Managing cross-origin restrictions, maintaining minimal footprint, ensuring compatibility across browsers, and handling asynchronous communication with the host page are key challenges I address with careful event handling and sandboxing.

3. How do you approach ensuring accessibility and cross-browser compatibility?
   I follow WCAG standards, use semantic HTML, ARIA roles, and automated/audited testing tools, while verifying consistent behavior across major browsers with polyfills or fallback mechanisms as needed.

4. Describe your experience collaborating asynchronously in remote teams.
   I leverage tools like Slack, Linear, Loom, and Tuple for clear communication, documentation, and code reviews, ensuring alignment despite time zone differences by prioritizing asynchronous updates and detailed specs.

5. How do you handle ownership and feature delivery in small pods?
   I take end-to-end responsibility from design collaboration to deployment, maintain open communication with product and QA, and iterate rapidly based on user feedback and metrics.

6. What is your experience with TypeScript in large codebases?
   I use strict typing, interfaces, and generics to improve code reliability and maintainability, integrate type checking in CI pipelines, and gradually migrate legacy code to TS for better developer experience.

7. How do you contribute to frontend culture and continuous improvement?
   I engage in code reviews, write clear documentation, share knowledge in team meetings, and propose process improvements or tooling upgrades to enhance productivity and code quality.

8. How do you balance rapid iteration with maintaining code quality?
   By following TDD principles, automating tests, maintaining a robust CI/CD pipeline, and incrementally refactoring legacy code while shipping user-focused features quickly.

9. What’s your approach to designing user interactions for SaaS dashboards?
   I collaborate closely with designers and product managers to translate user needs into intuitive, responsive interfaces with clear feedback, minimal friction, and scalability in mind.

10. Why are you interested in building product adoption tools like Chameleon?
    I’m passionate about improving user engagement and satisfaction by crafting seamless onboarding and in-app experiences that empower users and drive product success.

Chameleon is a remote-first Series A SaaS company seeking a Senior Frontend Engineer to scale and refine their Dashboard, Editor (Chrome extension), and in-app JS SDK.
