About the role
As aSenior Frontend Engineer, you'll own a product area end to end, from design through the results after launch. You'll be matched to one of four teams during the interview process, based on business needs and your background:
Agents - AI assistants and in-app guidance that help people finish tasks inside the software they use, including a new desktop AI work hub
Docs - Our core product for automated document generation and viewing, relied on by millions of users
Growth - Signup, onboarding, checkout, billing, seats and SSO, helping people find Scribe, see its value fast, and grow their plan
Optimize - The AI-driven intelligence layer that helps enterprises understand, measure and improve how work gets done, turning raw activity into workflow data leaders can trust
What you'll do
Own projects from design to launch, on established products and new ones
Work with PMs, designers and other engineers to decide what to build and how
Contribute to technical discussions, balancing short-term delivery with long-term architecture
Uphold strong engineering practices: code review, test coverage and observability
Build fast, accessible UI and own frontend performance
Work with designers to turn early ideas into shipped products
What we're looking for
5+ years building production software at scale
Product-minded. You care about the user problem as much as the code
Comfortable with unclear problems and fast change
Deep JavaScript experience with a modern frontend framework
Track record improving frontend performance and accessibility
Nice to have: AI/LLM product experience, startup experience
Why you'll love working here
Hard, open problems. Nobody hands you a finished spec. You'll decide what to build with your PM and designer, then own how it performs.
Incredible ownership. We have the reach of a large company and the team size of a startup, so each engineer owns a large part of the product. Customers like T-Mobile, LinkedIn, HubSpot, New York Life and Northern Trust already run on what you'll help build.
The right moment. We raised a $75M Series C in November 2025 at a $1.3B valuation, after revenue more than doubled the year before, and users have already documented more than 10 million workflows across 40,000 software applications. Enterprises like New York Life and Havas Media use Scribe Optimize today, but many of its core systems are still being designed, so if you join now, you help decide how they work.
Smart is the floor, kind is the bar. We love to see each other win, and One Team, One Dream is one of the most shouted-out values in #values.
