Description For Frontend Engineer

Fern is revolutionizing API development by enabling businesses to offer "Stripe-level" SDKs and documentation for REST APIs. Founded in 2022 and backed by YCombinator, we're a small team of less than 10 people working on open-source solutions in Brooklyn, NY.

The Frontend Engineer role offers a unique opportunity for ambitious engineers with entrepreneurial aspirations. You'll be instrumental in scaling the company from $1M to $10M ARR while collaborating with fast-growing tech companies. The position involves streamlining developer experiences in our monorepo, managing frontend infrastructure, and building user-facing features.

Key responsibilities include implementing Storybook, enhancing CI/CD pipelines, optimizing web application performance, and developing features like WYSIWYG editors. You'll work directly with customers from startups to enterprises, ensuring we build polished, user-centric products.

We value in-person collaboration at our Williamsburg, Brooklyn office. The compensation package includes competitive salary, equity, and comprehensive benefits. Our tech stack includes modern technologies like Next.js, Claude + Bedrock, and various AWS services.

Join us in our mission to make APIs easier to work with, alongside customers like Cohere, ElevenLabs, Webflow, and Merge.dev. This is an excellent opportunity to gain firsthand experience in building an early-stage startup while working with cutting-edge technologies and directly impacting the developer tools landscape.
