Principal Front-End Engineer [Growth]

Principal Front-End Engineer [Growth]

3Play Media is looking for a Principal-level engineer to join our Growth team with significant front-end and platform experience. This role sits at the intersection of platform engineering, product craft, and modern marketing — you'd build and manage infrastructure for both our Remix product and our Astro marketing site, deliver features alongside the rest of the team, and help build the agentic development platform that lets the whole company — engineers, marketers, designers — ship more, faster, and with higher quality.

You won't be inheriting a playbook. You'll be helping write one. You'd be a great fit if you believe the product is the brand, have good taste in design and dependencies, have already been pushing the frontier on AI-assisted development, and want to ensure we build a performant and accessible experience across all projects.

Base salary range: $220,000 – $250,000. This role is bonus eligible. Location: Remote — United States. Employment type: Full-time.

3Play Media is a technology company making video accessible to everyone. Our captioning, transcription, audio description, and localization solutions serve over 10,000 customers — universities, media companies, enterprises, and government organizations across the US and Canada.

We were founded at MIT Sloan in 2007 and have been building deliberately ever since. The team is small, fast-moving, and low on politics. The work you do here is visible from day one. Headquarters in Boston, MA with offices in Minneapolis, MN and Calgary, AB.

No surprises. No nonsense. Here's how it goes.

Step 1 — Application: Apply through our careers page. We review every application — if you're a fit, you'll hear from us quickly.

Step 2 — Hiring Manager Interview (30 min): A focused conversation with your potential manager. We want to understand how you think, how you work, and what drives you.

Step 3 — Technical Interview(s) (30 min each): You'll meet team members discuss technical skills. Same energy — real conversation, no trick questions.

Step 4 — Presentation Round (45 min): You'll receive scenarios ahead of time and walk a small panel through your thinking. We're looking for your judgment — not a perfect deck.

Step 5 — Recruiter Check-In (15 min): A quick touch base on compensation, timing, and any questions before we move forward.

Step 6 — Executive Interview (30 min): A final conversation with senior leadership. If you've made it here, we're serious about you.

3Play Media is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive team and encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds.
