🎯 The Role

Gametime is seeking Senior and Staff Front End Engineers to help build and scale the systems, applications, and experiences that power Gametime for millions of users. This high-ownership role involves owning a significant surface area of their consumer-facing web and mobile web experience. You will drive technical decisions, mentor other engineers, and partner directly with stakeholders to define how features are built, not just implement them.

🛠️ Tech Stack

React Native, TypeScript, Next.js (or similar SSR/SSG frameworks), Zustand, Redux Toolkit, React Query (or similar state management), REST/GraphQL, Jest, React Testing Library, Playwright, Cypress.

💼 What You'll Do

• Own high-quality, end-to-end delivery of major consumer-facing features, from technical design through launch, experimentation, and iteration.
• Drive frontend architecture decisions, including component design, state management, data-fetching patterns, and performance budgets.
• Build and optimize conversion-critical flows (event discovery, seat selection, checkout) with a relentless focus on speed, reliability, and UX quality.
• Design, instrument, and interpret A/B experiments in partnership with Product and Data to validate and sharpen product decisions.
• Instrument frontend observability, including error tracking, performance monitoring, and real-user metrics, and act on findings.
• Contribute to design-system components and front-end standards to accelerate the entire team.
• Mentor junior and mid-level engineers through code review, pairing, and technical leadership on shared initiatives.
• Collaborate with mobile, backend, and platform teams to deliver cohesive cross-platform experiences.

✅ What You'll Need

• Experience with React Native and TypeScript or cross-platform mobile development.
• Familiarity with Next.js or similar SSR/SSG frameworks and edge-rendering patterns.
• Proficiency with modern state management (e.g., Zustand, Redux Toolkit, React Query) and REST/GraphQL data-fetching patterns.
• Strong UI engineering fundamentals, including responsive/adaptive design, accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA), cross-browser and cross-platform compatibility, and thoughtful use of motion and animation.
• Comfort with frontend testing, including unit, integration, and end-to-end tests (e.g., Jest, React Testing Library, Playwright, Cypress).
• Experience building or maintaining a shared design system or component library at team scale.
• Demonstrated ownership of consumer-facing products at a meaningful scale of millions of users or transactions.
• Experience with experiment-driven product development, utilizing A/B testing and quantitative analysis to validate hypotheses and guide iteration.

🌟 Nice to Have

• Contributions to open-source projects or public technical writing demonstrating depth of craft.
• Exposure to web3 or digital-goods purchasing flows.
• AI curiosity and fluency with tools like Cursor, Claude, or ChatGPT.
• Prior work in a two-sided marketplace, ticketing, or high-transaction-volume e-commerce product.
