BEAST INDUSTRIES

Staff Frontend Engineer, App Framework (E-Commerce)

Primary: Bay Area (San Francisco / Peninsula)   |   Secondary: NYC

 

The Opportunity

We're doing an AI-first engineering rebuild for a company that already has an audience of 100M+ people. This is a zero-to-one build with no legacy constraints, and you get to define a modern frontend foundation from scratch. You're not here to maintain someone else's framework. You're here to build the one every product engineer at Beast ships on top of.

The Product

You'll own the frontend application framework behind our e-commerce properties, the foundation that turns a Feastables drop or a creator moment into a fast, reliable shopping experience for millions of people at once. That means:

  • Own the architecture, rendering strategy, and build tooling that every product engineer relies on to ship commerce surfaces.
  • Make the funnel fast. Core web vitals and page-load performance directly move conversion, and you own that number end to end.
  • Decide where AI belongs in the frontend stack, from coding agents in the dev loop to AI-assisted experiences on the surface itself.

What You'll Do

  • Set the architectural direction for the e-commerce frontend: rendering, state, routing, and module/build tooling.
  • Solve the ambiguous platform problems where the usual patterns don't apply, balancing performance, maintainability, and how fast teams can ship.
  • Own frontend performance from measurement to budgets to optimization across the funnels that drive revenue.
  • Define the standards, patterns, and guardrails product engineers actually adopt, then drive that adoption across teams.
  • Drive the hard architectural calls in RFCs and design reviews, and build consensus among senior engineers without leaning on a title.
  • Raise the frontend bar across the org through reusable patterns, real documentation, and mentorship.
  • Be the escalation point for the gnarliest frontend reliability, performance, and architecture problems, including checkout.

Who You Are

  • AI-Native: You're already burning through tokens and running coding agents daily to multiply your output.
  • Framework Builder: You've owned framework- or platform-level frontend architecture at scale, typically 15+ years in, and shipped design systems or shared platforms that many engineers built on.
  • Performance Obsessed: You can find the real bottleneck on a high-traffic funnel when the cause isn't obvious, and you know the real tradeoffs of client, server, and edge rendering.
  • Influencer Without Authority: You set direction and move senior engineers through reasoning and evidence, not mandate.

Deep expertise in modern JavaScript/TypeScript and a major framework like React, including rendering models and large-scale app architecture. Bonus points for high-traffic e-commerce or marketplace frontends, monorepo tooling at scale (Vite, Turbopack, Bazel, Nx), edge rendering, and a public presence through talks, open source, or writing.

Benefits

  • Equity: Highly competitive equity package designed for a foundational hire.
  • Hybrid Model: Expected ~3 days per week in-office (Bay Area or NYC).

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
