Front-End Engineer (Mid-Level) Job DescriptionAs our mid-level front-end engineer, you'll build what people touch every day: the screens a family uses to figure out whether Cedar can get them into a home. You get the stability of a company that's proven its model, plus the ownership and scope of an early hire.
What you'll get- Ownership from week one. You'll be shipping to customers, not waiting around for permission.
- Room to grow. Take on more as soon as you're ready, not on a fixed timeline.
- A small, sharp team and tooling that's a pleasure to work with, so your time goes to the interesting problems.
- Competitive pay and meaningful equity, so you share in what you help build.
Responsibilities- Build and own the consumer-facing web app in React, TypeScript, and Next.js.
- Lean on our AI tooling to ship quickly, and help make it better as you go.
- Be fanatical about testing your assumptions and judging your work by outcomes. AI speeds you up, but it doesn't think for you, so the verification is on you.
- Take dense financial logic and turn it into screens people can understand and trust.
- Work shoulder to shoulder with design and product, from rough idea to shipped, accessible UI.
- Own features from build to release, then watch how people use them and make them better.
- Keep the bar high in code review, write tests that matter, and chase bugs to their root cause.
Your first 90 days- First couple of weeks: get set up, ship a small change to production, and learn how we work.
- First month: own a feature end to end, from design handoff through release.
- By 90 days: you're the go-to person for a meaningful slice of the consumer app.
Skills- A few years (roughly 3+) building production web apps with React and TypeScript.
- You're solid on HTML and CSS, and you make things work on a phone, not just a laptop.
- You've worked with APIs, REST or GraphQL, and testing is just part of how you build.
- You're excited about our AI tooling and want to push it further.
- You work well independently and enjoy the back-and-forth between product, design, and engineering.
- Bonus: a good eye for design and comfort working in Figma.
- Bonus: you've worked on accessibility (WCAG) before.
LocationRemote-first and full-time. You can work from anywhere in the US, and a good number of us are around New York City if you'd rather not work solo.
You'll report to Brien Kurtz, our VP of Engineering.
CompensationTotal cash compensation is between $100K and $150K, made up of base and a discretionary bonus, and it comes with significant equity plus benefits. We're serious about the equity, so you own a piece of what you help build.
Benefits- Medical, dental, and vision coverage.
- Paid time off and parental leave.
- A stipend to set up your home office the way you want it.
