## About the role

Success in this role comes from combining strong frontend engineering with product judgment. You'll spend as much time thinking about how users reason about complex systems as you will writing React code. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 2+ years building and shipping software products , with strong frontend skills and ownership of features from first idea to real users
- A habit of prototyping and iterating. You turn ambiguity into something users can try, learn from what happens, and keep improving it
- Product sense and taste. You naturally ask “Why are we building this?” before “How should I implement it?” You care about interaction design, the details users feel, and what makes a product great
- A systems mindset. You enjoy reasoning about data models, relationships, state, and asynchronous workflows—not just individual screens
- Deep empathy for users and clear communication. You learn from them directly, make complicated workflows understandable, and explain technical and product tradeoffs across disciplines
- A practical approach to modern AI coding tools: you use them to prototype and build, stay curious about better ways of working, and take responsibility for the quality of what you ship
