Job Description

About the role

Workweek is looking for an experienced frontend engineer to join as an early member of the engineering team and help shape the foundation of our product. You’ll work with React, TypeScript, and modern tooling to build polished, user-friendly experiences while establishing our design system and reusable component library.

As part of a small, fast-moving team, you’ll collaborate closely with design and backend engineers, influencing both technical decisions and product direction. This is a high-ownership role where you’ll balance shipping quickly with building for long-term scale, and your work will have a visible impact on our company’s trajectory.

Note: This is a full-time position. We don't have any mandate to work from our Austin office (we're all adults), but we do prefer a candidate willing to come into the office when it makes sense. All work will be done in English.

Responsibilities

  • Build and ship features in React and TypeScript, taking them from idea to production.
  • Collaborate with design and backend engineers to shape user flows, API contracts, and overall product direction.
  • Develop and maintain a reusable component library and design system that balances speed and scalability.
  • Review code, give feedback, and uphold best practices to ensure quality and maintainability across the codebase.
  • Identify and manage technical debt, making pragmatic tradeoffs between quick wins and long-term improvements.
  • Contribute to product discussions, bringing a frontend and user experience perspective to roadmap decisions.
  • Help establish engineering culture and processes, setting the tone for how we build as an early-stage team.
  • Ability to leverage generative AI tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude code , cursor) in daily development workflows, with a clear understanding of their strengths, limitations, and potential pitfalls when applied to production-grade engineering.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of professional frontend engineering experience, with strong proficiency in React, TypeScript, and modern web tooling.
  • Demonstrated ability to take ownership of projects end-to-end in fast-moving, ambiguous environments (ideally at startups or small teams).
  • Hands-on experience building and scaling design systems or component libraries that balance speed with maintainability.
  • Strong instincts for user experience and attention to detail, with a track record of shipping polished, user-friendly interfaces.
  • Comfortable collaborating cross-functionally with product, design, and backend engineers to shape features, APIs, and technical direction.

Benefits

  • Competitive pay (we don't pay based on location, we assign value to the role)
  • Equity in Workweek
  • Remote operations with the ability to work in the time zone of your choice (or work IRL in our Austin, TX or New York City office)
  • Unlimited PTO with a minimum of 3 days/quarter used
  • 100% health insurance coverage, 75% coverage for dependents, and $150/month towards an HSA (or $150/month health stipend if insurance not used)
  • 120 days of parental leave to use within one year of childbirth (available 12 months after your start date and only available every 365 days)
  • 401(k) plan with 3.5% company match
  • $500 one-time stipend for any home office needs used within first 90 days
  • 5-week sabbatical after 4 years on staff
  • 2 volunteering days per year
  • 1x/year in-person team retreat
  • $100/month book stipend

Note: At Workweek, we’re passionate about building a diverse team. We care deeply about diversity, equality, and inclusion and strive to build a culture where everyone, from any background, feels included, supported, and free to be themselves.

If your experience is this close to what we’re looking for, please consider applying. Experience comes in many forms – skills are transferable, and passion goes a long way. We know that diversity makes for the best problem-solving and creative thinking, which is why we’re dedicated to adding new perspectives to the team and encourage everyone to apply.
