We don't just use AI. We build with it, ship with it, and think with it. We're in the top 1% of companies applying AI effectively, not just to our products, but to how we build them. With an unlimited budget for Anthropic tokens, our engineers use AI agents to write, review, and ship production code every day. We're building toward a world where humans design systems and AI builds them, and we're already further along that path than almost anyone else.
As a Staff Frontend Engineer, you'll be the technical authority for our frontend platform — a React-based micro-frontend architecture serving thousands of real estate businesses. You'll own the evolution of our design system, drive our migration from legacy UI libraries to a modern Tailwind-based component library, and set the frontend standards that AI agents and human engineers alike follow. This is a role for someone who already lives in their terminal with AI, who has strong opinions about component architecture and design systems at scale, and who wants to define what AI-augmented frontend development looks like.
What You'll DoOwn frontend platform architecture. You'll lead the technical direction of our React micro-frontend platform built on single-spa. You'll make critical decisions about module federation, code splitting, and how our frontend scales across a growing product surface.
Drive the design system forward. You'll shape the evolution of our Radix + Tailwind CSS + component library — a monorepo powering our UI. You'll set patterns for accessible, token-driven components that work across web and native, and ensure our Figma-to-code pipeline stays tight.
Lead the migration from legacy to modern frontend. We're actively migrating from Material-UI and styled-components to our modern design system built on Tailwind CSS, Radix UI, and design tokens. You'll define the migration strategy, set the pace, and ensure a seamless experience for users along the way.
Ship AI-native product experiences. Working closely with product, design, and AI teams, you'll deliver intelligent frontend features that leverage LLMs, agent frameworks, and real-time data — from our AI-powered site builder to interactive property search experiences with maps and geospatial tools.
Define how we build, not just what we build. You'll shape frontend engineering standards — from Storybook-driven development and Vitest testing patterns to Biome linting rules and bundle size budgets. You'll have a direct hand in evolving how AI agents integrate into our frontend development workflow.
Mentor and elevate engineers across the org. Staff Engineers at LP are force multipliers. You'll raise the frontend bar across teams, coach engineers through hard design problems, and influence career growth.
What We're Looking ForAttributes
You already build with AI daily. You use Claude Code as a core part of your workflow, not as a novelty
You have strong opinions, loosely held, about how AI changes software architecture, team structure, and engineering culture
You think in systems. You connect technical decisions to customer outcomes and long-term business value
You communicate clearly and directly. You can explain complex tradeoffs to product, design, and executive stakeholders
You're energized by ambiguity and speed. You thrive in a fast-growing company where the roadmap evolves and ownership is real
You like to have fun at work. We take our craft seriously, but we don't take ourselves too seriously. We celebrate wins, crack jokes, and genuinely enjoy building together
Skills and Experience
8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with meaningful time in senior or staff-level frontend roles
Deep expertise in React 18/19, TypeScript, and modern component architecture (hooks, compound components, render props, forwardRef patterns)
Experience building and maintaining design systems at scale — component libraries, design tokens, theming, and Figma-to-code workflows
Strong command of Tailwind CSS, utility-first styling, and CSS custom properties for token-driven theming
Hands-on experience with GraphQL and Apollo Client — federation, codegen, cache management, and fragment composition
