Staff UI Engineer

Streak, a profitable remote-first company of 35 people, is seeking a Staff UI Engineer to join their team. The company has transformed Gmail into a powerful CRM and is looking for experienced frontend engineers to accelerate product delivery.

The role requires 6+ years of experience with modern frontend technologies like React and TypeScript. The ideal candidate will have high agency, excellent async communication skills, and the ability to independently navigate large codebases. You'll work on challenging projects including high-performance spreadsheets, native-looking Gmail integrations, and AI-powered features.

Following the ShapeUp methodology, projects are broken into 2 or 6-week cycles, encouraging efficient shipping of high-quality features. The team maintains a balanced approach between new development and maintenance, with cooldown periods between cycles for bugs and refactors.

Key responsibilities include building user-facing features, developing high-performance UI components, implementing data sync architecture, and creating beautiful data visualizations. You'll work directly with the CEO on product direction and have the opportunity to contribute to open-source projects like InboxSDK.

The company offers competitive compensation ($150K - $300K) based on Bay Area bands, remote-first work environment, and high autonomy. The interview process is unique, focusing on practical work through paid project-based evaluations rather than traditional technical interviews.

Streak is in an ideal position, combining startup agility with profitable stability. This allows the team to focus on long-term success while maintaining the excitement of growth opportunities. The company uses its own product extensively, ensuring that engineers are also users who can significantly impact product direction.

If you're passionate about frontend engineering, enjoy working in a high-autonomy environment, and want to build products that users love, this role offers an excellent opportunity to make a significant impact while doing the best work of your career.
