Fern is an innovative startup founded in 2022, backed by YCombinator, building tools to make APIs more accessible and easier to work with. As a Frontend Engineer, you'll join a small team of less than 10 people working from their office in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The role offers a unique opportunity to scale a company from $1M to $10M ARR while working with fast-growing tech companies.

You'll be responsible for enhancing the developer experience, managing frontend infrastructure, and building user-facing features. The position requires strong expertise in JavaScript/TypeScript, React, and Next.js, along with a customer-centric approach. You'll work directly with developers from startups to enterprises, ensuring their needs are met through polished, user-centric products.

The company values in-person collaboration and offers competitive compensation including a base salary of $170,000-$210,000, equity, and comprehensive benefits. Their tech stack includes modern technologies like Next.js, Claude + Bedrock for LLM, and various microservices. Working at Fern means joining a team that's building open source solutions used by notable customers like Cohere, ElevenLabs, Webflow, and Merge.dev.

This role is particularly suited for ambitious engineers with entrepreneurial goals, as many team members are former or future founders. You'll have the opportunity to shape the future of API development while working in a dynamic, fast-paced startup environment. The interview process is thorough but straightforward, culminating in an in-office work trial to ensure mutual fit.
