Staff Frontend Engineer

Staff Frontend Web Application Engineer

At TeamSnap, we believe when the world connects through sports; the world becomes better. TeamSnap is a sports and communication platform dedicated to taking the work out of play in youth sports. We empower our people to bring big ideas and tiny egos, landing us on Outside Magazine's list of "Best Places to Work" and Built In's "100 Best Remote-First Places to Work."

TeamSnap is seeking a Staff Frontend Web Application Engineer to join our fully distributed engineering team to help us continue our impressive growth from 2+ million daily active users to beyond! Our stack employs project generation tools and is built in Typescript with React.

As an engineering team, we build applications that serve millions of users and some of the largest youth and amateur sports organizations in the world. Our team values collaboration in a remote culture, so we regularly participate in pair sessions and virtual team swarms to stay connected.

What You'll Do:

• Design, build and optimize high-performance TypeScript & React SPAs powered by RESTful APIs for complex sports-organization workflows.
• Collaborate with Product and Design to extend our design system with reusable, accessible components, theming, tokens and responsive patterns.
• Advocate modern front-end practices—type safety, component-driven architecture, responsive layouts, and performance optimizations like lazy loading and caching strategies.
• Partner with backend, mobile, QA, and product teams to define APIs, create and refine specs, shape architecture, and ensure end-to-end quality.
• Mentor and up-level team members through code reviews, pairing, leading our web guild, etc to elevate our practices and craft.
• Ensure reliability by writing unit, integration, and E2E tests, integrating with CI/CD, and rotating on-call to diagnose and resolve incidents.
• Lead projects to improve our coding practices and principles along with build performance, test infrastructure, and CI/CD workflows—driving adoption and reducing cycle-time friction for the team.
• Evaluate and adopt AI-driven tooling—code generation assistants, refactoring bots, LLM-powered test generation—to boost velocity and quality.
• Continuously explore emerging web technologies (e.g. micro-frontends) and make data-driven recommendations to keep TeamSnap moving forward using relevant technologies and practices.

What Will Set You Up for Success:

• 8+ years building production-scale web applications with React, advanced TypeScript, and modern toolchains (Vite, Webpack, or similar).
• 2+ years in a Staff/Tech-Lead role shaping frontend vision, driving standards, and mentoring senior engineers.
• Proven record integrating REST services and managing complex UI state with Context API, Redux, Zustand, or equivalent.
• Hands-on experience architecting or evolving component libraries/design systems with a strong emphasis on responsive, mobile-first design with design tokens and theming techniques.
• Demonstrated high-quality delivery through automated tests (unit, snapshot, E2E), configuring CI/CD workflows, and using observability tools to measure performance and error rates.
• Comfortable shaping RESTful APIs alongside backend teams, defining type-safe data contracts and handling async state in complex UI flows.
• Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to give and receive constructive feedback, mentor engineers, influence cross-team alignment and articulate technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders

Bonus:

• Experience with micro-frontend architectures and/or SSR frameworks.
• Familiarity with performance profiling (Lighthouse, Web Vitals) and advanced caching/CDN strategies.
• Demonstrated ability to leverage AI assistants, code-generation tools, or LLM services to streamline development tasks, improve DX, or prototype new features.
