Staff Frontend Engineer

This company is building the next-generation AI-powered design tool, fundamentally reimagining how designers create in the AI era. With a focus on deeply collaborative workflows and intuitive interfaces, they're helping creatives move faster, smarter, and with more impact. Backed by top-tier investors from OpenAI, Google, and Dropbox, the team is still in its early stages—offering a rare chance to work directly with the founders, shape the engineering culture, and build something transformative at the ground level.

We’re looking for a Staff Frontend Engineer (8+ years experience) who thrives on solving complex problems and will not wait for someone else to tell what to do. You’ll work directly with the founding team to architect core systems, build complex infrastructure, and shape the future of how software gets designed.

• Real-time collaboration tools (Yjs, CRDTs, WebSocket/Socket.io).
• Performance optimization (virtualization with React-Virtualized/TanStack Virtual, WebAssembly integration).
• Back-end exposure: Basic Node.js/API integration, REST/GraphQL.

Nice-to-Have Skills:

SVG/canless rendering libraries (React-Konva, React-Flow, React Three or D3.js).

DevOps (Docker, CI/CD)

Experience with Figma-like apps, design tools, or collaborative editors.

Knowledge of WebRTC for peer-to-peer communication.

Contributions to open-source React libraries.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable front-end and back-end systems.
• Work closely with designers to translate UI/UX designs into high-quality, production ready code.
• Optimize performance and scalability for real-time collaborative features.
• Contribute to the architecture and engineering culture of Weaver.
• Build and maintain integrations with design tools and developer environments.
