What You Will Do...

As a Senior Frontend Engineer, you'll be part of the team building and maintaining PSPDFKit for Web, our leading document SDK, while also leveraging new technology to shape the future of documents on the web. We mostly use TypeScript and React. You'll have autonomy, learn a lot, and have a huge impact on the product.

In this key role, you will: Build, maintain, and integrate UI components using PSPDFK’s Design system to ensure a consistent, customizable, and accessible user experience across our Web SDK, as well as other products. Add new features based on the product roadmap, making sure they are built with a future-proof design, easy-to-use APIs, and top-notch quality. Participate in larger efforts aimed at reducing technical debt, as well as fixing smaller issues, whether reported by customers or found during internal testing. Write and maintain unit and integration tests to boost confidence and minimize bugs and regressions, ensuring a stable and reliable SDK. Review/pull requests and give feedback to improve code quality and encourage a culture of continuous improvement. Create clear and detailed technical documentation for developers using the SDK, making integration easier for them and cutting down on support questions. Get involved with the developer community by writing blog posts and participating in other activities to help grow a strong community around the SDK.

About You...

The ideal candidate is a doer and a person with high self-initiative to make an impact now; has high self-standards of what quality work is; is a team player who puts improvement over ego; and has a passion for improving a developer’s experience.

Requirements: Confident and powerful in frontend development — you don't write code for the sake of it, but to provide value to our customers by getting the user experience right. Deep familiarity with browser technologies — you know when and how to use React but also when to go straight to the DOM and the event loop. Collaborative and self-managing — you don't need hand-holding, and you’re energized by exchanging ideas, both async and sync. Bias toward shipping — you move fast, but you’re also intentional about keeping high-quality standards, and it shows in how you work and document what you do to keep stakeholders in the loop.

Nice to have: Experience building JavaScript libraries and distributing them — you have built and documented stable, public APIs with an eye toward future backward compatibility. Comfortable with maintaining release pipelines and Unix scripts.

About Us...

In 2021, PSPDFKit announced its first strategic growth investment led by Insight Partners, a New York-based global venture capital and private equity firm focused on growth-stage software and technology companies. Insight’s investment, which totals more than $115 million, is being used to accelerate product growth, sales & marketing efforts, and fund strategic acquisitions, further expanding the capabilities of PSPDFKit’s highly adopted document processing platform.

PSPDFKit hires people who are curious, creative, communicative, and collaborative. We’re a highly cross-functional organization, and we’re committed to tackling challenging problems so our customers can focus on building great products.

We are a globally distributed company with a mostly remote engineering team. Working time should overlap with most of the team across the US, Europe and Asia. If working from the US, you must be located in Florida, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, or Virginia for payroll processing.

We Offer...

At our company, we champion a remote-first culture, giving our team members the autonomy to tailor their work schedules to their individual lifestyles, provided there's some working time common with the CET and EST zones (given our engineering's significant presence in CET). Every year, we host a company gathering at an offsite location; past locations have been in Croatia, Italy, Spain, Greece, Austria, Portugal, and Hungary. Team members have access to a competitive paid time off benefit, with additional days for conference attendance. Above all, we emphasize continuous growth, urging our team to pursue avenues of learning and innovation.
