About
We move fast, ship often, and take deep ownership. If you enjoy operating close to the metal, building tools that real engineers lean on during 3 AM incident sprints, and solving hard problems with minimal overhead, you’ll feel right at home here.
About the role We’re looking for a Frontend Engineer to push the limits of what’s possible in the browser.
yeet’s UI is a canvas-based app that ingests and visualizes huge streams of data. That means thinking beyond the usual component frameworks: Architecting solutions with data pipelines, rendering loops, and memory constraints in mind.
You’ll be closer to the browser’s low-level engine than most frontend roles, making decisions that directly impact how engineers experience yeet in the mid-incident.
About you
You’ve built performance-critical frontends where smooth rendering and responsiveness weren’t optional.
You know when React helps and when to drop down to Canvas, WebGL, or raw DOM-manipulations for speed.
You have a strong grasp of data structures and algorithms.
You write expressive TypeScript and use the type system to catch bugs before they ship.
You’re fluent in low-level web APIs (e.g. OPFS, OffscreenCanvas, Web Workers) and nerd out over the MDN docs.
You’re motivated by measurable performance : frame budgets, memory profiles, flame-graphs, not just “it feels fast.”
Nice To Haves
Experience with WebAssembly (WASM) for accelerating data-heavy or compute-bound tasks in the browser.
Familiarity with bundling and build tooling (Webpack, Vite, Rollup) to optimize large-scale apps.
Background in usability / UX for data-dense applications — making complex interactions intuitive without sacrificing power.
Deep knowledge of React internals including how the scheduler works and when to bypass it.
