Senior Software Engineer, Frontend, Revenue Growth

Paperless Post is looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer to help build product experiences that directly impact how we grow revenue. Our product has served more than 220 million hosts and guests and sees over 5 million unique visitors per month. You’ll work closely with our Revenue Growth team—leading frontend development across our stack, which includes TypeScript, React, Next.js, and GraphQL on the frontend, with services written mostly in Golang running on top of PostgreSQL and MongoDB.

A little bit about us

The Paperless Post Engineering team, a highly collaborative group of developers and technologists, is charged with building and refining a consumer-facing product that millions of people interact with each month. Our individual feature teams each focus on a unique piece of the user experience and are made up of engineers, product managers, quality assurers, and product designers. We prioritize creativity and continuing education, and our ongoing commitment to quality code shows in our pragmatic but brave approach to technology.

About the Revenue Growth team

The Revenue Growth team owns how Paperless Post monetizes, everything from pay-as-you-go to our subscription business. We run experiments constantly throughout the full funnel, test and refine pricing models, and build systems to support payments and retention. We are a collaborative group of engineers, product managers, designers, and analysts who share a passion for data-driven decision making and measurable impact.

What you’ll do here

• Lead the frontend design and implementation of features and systems that directly drive monetization, including pricing pages, checkout flows, subscription management, and conversion-focused UI.
• Develop and maintain our applications with reusable, testable, and resilient React components that foster a consistent user experience across the full funnel.
• Partner with product and design to define and run A/B experiments, then help translate results into roadmap decisions that improve conversion and retention.
• Contribute to the design, development, and testing of React (TypeScript, Next.js) and GraphQL, with particular focus on performance and user experience on revenue-critical surfaces.
• Ship A/B tests and be invested in the outcomes to improve conversion and retention through deep understanding of user behavior.
• Ensure code quality and maintainability through participation in code reviews and testing; set strong technical and testing standards for the team.
• Mentor engineers and help establish frontend best practices across the Revenue Growth team.
• Actively participate in developing useful API contracts between Front End and Back End, especially for pricing, payments, and subscription systems.
• Coordinate with technical leads on best practices and align on implementation strategies across teams.
• Proficiency with AI tools like Claude Code, Cursor, or Copilot in your workflow.

What you bring to the table

• B.S. in Computer Science or equivalent experience.
• 7+ years of experience developing for web or mobile platforms in React or React Native.
• Expertise in TypeScript and React with strong understanding of modern React patterns and performance optimization.
• Empathy for the people who worked on the codebase before you, and a passion for solving problems and building features for users.
• A growth hacking mentality with curiosity to experiment, measure, and iterate quickly.
• Familiarity with Next.js, SSR concepts, Node.js and frontend tooling.
• Solid understanding of HTML, CSS, responsive layouts, and accessibility basics.
• Proficiency in GraphQL, including building and consuming queries and mutations on revenue-critical surfaces.
• Experience shipping A/B tests and interpreting experiment results to drive product decisions.
• Knowledge of good design and UX, with a strong eye for consumer-facing product quality.
• Ability to write clean, maintainable code and collaborate effectively across a cross-functional team.
• Bonus points for experience with pricing and subscriptions, payments, or e-commerce flows.
• Some experience with backend development is helpful, especially familiarity with Golang or contributing to light GraphQL resolver work.
• Experience in Ruby on Rails, or Golang is a plus.

Company-wide, we enjoy an amazing ecosystem of an even gender split and a balance of engineers and designers. Because Paperless Post isn’t supported by ad revenue, we can focus our efforts on creating and improving on the ideal version of our platform, product, content, and partnerships for our users.

We are proud that Paperless Post has helped over 220 million people globally connect in the real world since our inception. Paperless Post exists to help all people celebrate all the moments that matter to them. We believe that having a team reflective of the diverse world around us empowers us to create a product that serves everyone. Women, people of color, trans/genderqueer individuals, individuals with disabilities, and veterans are especially encouraged to apply.

During interviews, our recruiting team may use AI-powered note-taking tools so we can stay focused on the conversation.

However, our interviews are designed to understand each candidate’s individual skills, problem-solving approach, and reasoning in real time.

-Recruiting phone interviews

-Technical screens 

-Live coding challenges

-System design interviews

-Take-home assignments

These conversations are intended to assess your independent thinking and technical depth. If we determine that AI tools were used without disclosure or approval during an interview, it may result in disqualification for the role and removal from the interview process.

We are committed to providing reasonable accommodations. This policy does not apply to approved accessibility or disability accommodations. If you require assistive technology or other support, please let the recruiting team know.

The compensation range for this role is $150,000 - $165,000 USD.
