Staff Frontend Engineer

Join bunch as a Staff Frontend Engineer, where you will shape the architecture, quality, and developer experience of our product surfaces. You will lead our migration from Svelte to React, maintain and evolve our design system, and support frontend initiatives across teams. Your decisions will influence the evolution of frontend engineering at bunch, and you will play a pivotal role in turning complex workflows into intuitive, robust, and scalable product experiences.

Collaborative Leadership: A proactive relationship-builder who can set technical direction and influence without formal authority, manage diverse stakeholders and build alignment on difficult technical decisions, while mentoring engineers

About bunch

AI-native practice — You use AI coding tools daily and have gone past autocomplete into agentic workflows. You have a considered view on where they genuinely help, where they don't, and what a codebase needs to be a good place to work in with agents

Responsibilities

• Shape the architecture, quality, and developer experience of the product surfaces, influencing how frontend engineering evolves.
• Lead the migration from Svelte to React, holding the architectural picture across both stacks and sequencing the work against product delivery.
• Map the frontend architecture, product domains, design system, team workflows, and the main bottlenecks affecting delivery and quality within the first 30 days.
• Language — Fluent English, written and spoken. You can make complex technical decisions legible to engineers, product partners, design partners, and leadership alike

Requirements

• Operating style — You think in quarters and years, not only sprints. You drive cross-team change through credibility, clear writing, architectural reasoning, and strong stakeholder alignment — not through authority
• Product judgment — You care about the user experience as much as the technical solution. You can translate ambiguous workflows and business constraints into pragmatic, elegant product experiences
• Systems thinking — You are comfortable reasoning across frontend, backend, APIs, infrastructure, observability, security, and compliance when the problem requires it
• Track record — You have already operated at Staff scope, with or without the title, and have shipped systemic frontend or product-engineering improvements across multiple teams. People listen to you because of what you have delivered, how clearly you think, and how effectively you collaborate
• Frontend craft — Deep expertise in modern frontend engineering, with strong command of TypeScript, component architecture, state management, design systems, accessibility, performance, testing, and maintainable application architecture
