About the Role

Metronome is looking for a Software Engineer with deep frontend expertise and strong full-stack instincts to deliver high-impact features across our web platform. You’ll work to ensure frontend implementations are polished, performant, and aligned with established standards, while also driving end-to-end feature development across frontend and backend systems. This role emphasizes technical leadership through execution: making thoughtful architectural decisions within initiatives, delivering high-quality features, and collaborating across product, design, and engineering to ship exceptional experiences.

What You'll Do

Deliver end-to-end features:

Design, implement, and ship features across frontend and backend boundaries, ensuring seamless, cohesive experiences for customers. Build polished, accessible, and performant frontend experiences that align with established standards and patterns.

Be security- and reliability-minded:

Apply best practices around authentication, authorization, data handling, and secure UI patterns. Ensure features are robust, secure, and reliable in production.

Mentor & multiply:

Support junior and mid-level engineers through code reviews, pairing, and technical guidance. Model strong engineering judgment and ownership to help the team improve.

Represent the customer:

Bring product intuition and customer empathy to technical decisions, ensuring features are intuitive, resilient, and aligned with real user needs.

Qualifications

5+ years of professional full-stack software engineering experience, with deep frontend expertise in React, TypeScript, CSS, and modern component architectures, and a proven track record of delivering complex, end-to-end product features across frontend and backend boundaries.
Strong understanding of accessibility, performance optimization, testing strategies, and high-quality, consistent user interactions.
Experience building customer-facing features with attention to security, reliability, and maintainability.
Clear communicator who can explain technical decisions across engineering, design, product, and leadership.
Proven ability to operate as a technical leader—making thoughtful architectural decisions within initiatives, influencing direction, and earning trust through execution.
Product mindset and customer empathy, especially in self-serve or interactive features.

Bonus:

Experience with authentication systems, identity providers, or permission models in SaaS products.
Past work on enterprise or developer-focused products where trust, security, and polish directly affected adoption.
Comfort influencing technical direction and contribution models for shared frontend or platform systems through collaboration, feedback, and hands-on execution.
