This role focuses on developing high-quality software solutions, collaborating with team members, and implementing features that directly impact our users. You'll work on both frontend and backend systems, writing clean, maintainable code while learning from experienced engineers and growing your technical skills.

The ideal candidate will work closely with senior engineers and product managers to implement features and improvements that support our platform's growth and success.

Responsibilities:

• Software Development
  • Develop and maintain frontend and backend features using modern technologies and best practices

  • Write clean, efficient, and well-documented code that follows established coding standards

  • Implement user interfaces that are responsive, accessible, and provide excellent user experience

  • Build and maintain APIs and backend services that support our platform's functionality

  • Participate in code reviews and provide constructive feedback to maintain code quality

• Collaboration and Learning
  • Work closely with senior engineers to understand requirements and implement solutions

  • Collaborate with product managers to translate business requirements into technical implementations

  • Participate in team meetings, planning sessions, and technical discussions

  • Learn from experienced team members and contribute your own ideas and perspectives

  • Share knowledge with teammates and contribute to a collaborative team environment

• Quality and Testing
  • Write comprehensive tests for your code, including unit tests and integration tests

  • Follow test-driven development practices when appropriate

  • Participate in quality assurance processes and help identify and fix bugs

  • Ensure your code meets performance and security standards

  • Contribute to maintaining and improving our automated testing suite

• Process and Improvement
  • Follow established development processes and contribute to process improvements

  • Use version control effectively and participate in our development workflow

  • Help maintain documentation for the systems you work on

  • Identify opportunities to improve code quality, performance, or developer experience

  • Stay current with new technologies and development practices relevant to your work

• Problem Solving
  • Debug and troubleshoot issues in existing code and systems

  • Analyze requirements and propose technical solutions

  • Break down complex problems into manageable tasks

  • Research and evaluate different approaches to solving technical challenges

  • Contribute to architectural discussions and technical decision-making

Requirements:

• You have solid experience in software development with a focus on web technologies

• You write clean, maintainable code and care about software quality

• You're a good communicator who works well in a collaborative team environment

• You're eager to learn new technologies and improve your skills

• You have a systematic approach to problem-solving and debugging

• You're detail-oriented and take pride in delivering high-quality work

• You're comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where requirements may evolve

• You take initiative to improve your code and learn from feedback

• You're fluent with AI coding tools and have a point of view on how to use them well

Our Tech Stack:

We operate two platforms in parallel and you'll work across both, with the bulk of new development on v2.

• v2 (primary focus, where new development happens)
  • Next.js for the application framework, organized as microapplications under frequency.media subdomains

  • React for the UI layer, with Mantine as our component library and design system

  • Supabase for Postgres, auth, storage, and realtime, with Row Level Security driving our permissions model

  • Vercel for hosting, edge functions, feature flags, and the AI Gateway

  • TypeScript end to end
• v1 (maintained, with feature work as needed)
  • React and Angular on the frontend

  • NestJS and Node.js on the backend

  • AWS for infrastructure

Familiarity with the v2 stack is a strong plus. Comfort moving between v1 and v2codebases, and a pragmatic view on when to extend v1 versus rebuild in v2, is what we're optimizing for.

AI in our workflow

We build with AI as a first-class part of the development loop, not a bolt-on.

• Claude Code is our primary agentic coding tool, including headless workflows, plan mode, and parallel worktrees

• Gemini for large-context reasoning, code review, and as a second opinion on architecture

• Vercel AI Gateway for per-user spend tracking and model routing across our own AI features

• We run internal AI adoption challenges, share prompts and workflows openly, and expect engineers to bring strong opinions about what works

We care less about which specific tools you've used and more about whether you've genuinely integrated AI into how you build. If you're skeptical of AI codingtools, this isn't the right team. If you're learning fast and forming your own opinions, you'll fit in.

Technical Skills:

• Strong experience with JavaScript/TypeScript and modern web development

• Experience with React and frontend development best practices

• Knowledge of Node.js and backend development concepts

• Understanding of HTML, CSS, and responsive design principles

• Experience with version control systems (Git)

• Familiarity with testing frameworks and writing automated tests

• Basic understanding of databases and data modeling

• Experience with modern development tools and build processes

• Knowledge of web security best practices

• Understanding of agile development methodologies

• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS preferred) is a plus

• Familiarity with CI/CD concepts is a plus

• Experience with audio technologies is a plus but not required

This role offers an excellent opportunity to contribute to innovative technology in the audio advertising space while developing your skills and growing your career in a supportive, collaborative environment.
