Full Stack Engineer

At Chromatic, our mission is to improve the UX of the internet and safeguard the world's pixels. We're building tools that make it impossible to ship broken pixels. Thousands of frontend teams—including BBC, Shopify, and Adobe—use Storybook and Chromatic to map every state of their applications and ensure each one is tested and approved before reaching the billions of people who interact with them daily. We're seeking a full-stack engineer to contribute towards the Chromatic web application and backend. Thousands of developers and stakeholders use this application to interact with our UI Tests, UI Review workflows, and other features—all to ensure their frontends are regression‑free. These powerful customer‑facing workflows are built with React (Next.js), Node.js, MongoDB, GraphQL (Apollo), and TypeScript. Over the past year, highlights from our team's work include: Launched accessibility regression testing to help customers continuously improve the accessibility of their frontends. Built authentication and hosting for Storybook MCP Servers. Shipped a GitHub Pull Request Comment feature that includes a detailed report of build results. Built workflows for handling inconsistent UI rendering in UI tests. Improved the performance and accessibility of the Chromatic frontend. We're at a significant moment in our company's history.

Our diverse team is full of passionate, curious people who can learn, grow, and feel supported in taking on new challenges.
