Role details
ABOUT THE COMPANY
- StackAI (by Asana) is a no-code AI workflow platform that empowers companies to build, deploy, and scale AI-powered workflows easily.
- With thousands of users and rapidly growing enterprise adoption, our mission is to democratize access to LLMs and bring AI into the hands of every business operator, not just developers.
- An Asana Company, we're building the foundational platform for the AI-driven future of work
THE ROLE
- We're looking for a senior frontend engineer who is incredible at execution.
- This is not about building flashy new features from scratch—it's about optimizing, refining, and incrementally improving what we've already built.
- You'll work closely with our Product Design pod to turn detailed visual specs into clean, production-ready code.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Optimize and refine existing frontend code and features
- Implement incremental UX/UI improvements from detailed design specs (no design skills required)
- Work autonomously with minimal code review needed—your code should be clean enough that our other Front Enders can trust it blindfolded
- Collaborate with Product Designers, Design Engineers, and Front End Engineers on execution
- Focus on high-impact improvements that elevate our product quality and user experience
- Clean up and improve legacy code
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
Must-haves:
- Exceptional code quality: Clean, maintainable, trustworthy code that requires minimal review
- Strong execution: You ship fast and ship well
- Senior-level experience: 5+ years with React, TypeScript, Next.js, and modern frontend stack
- Accountability: You own your decisions and respond when needed
- Autonomy: You can own features end-to-end without hand-holding
- Pragmatism: You are willing to engage with detail-oriented and iterative work that is essential to the product's success
- Technical excellence: Someone who can teach us, not someone we have to teach
Nice-to-haves:
- Experience with Tailwind CSS
- Understanding of UI fundamentals (but design skills are NOT required)
- Experience cleaning up and optimizing existing codebases
- Comfort working across the stack when needed
OUR TECH STACK
React, Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, TanstackQuery
WHAT WE VALUE
- High bar: We only hire people who wow us technically—someone better than us
- Trust: We've learned that even "boring tasks" require exceptional engineers, because poor execution takes more time to review than to do right the first time
- Execution over excitement: You're motivated by doing excellent work, not just working on the newest, shiniest features
WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS
- The Product Design pod has ambitious plans in the roadmap, and we need a frontend engineer who can execute flawlessly to keep pace. You'll be critical to ensuring our product quality and velocity.
- This role description captures the team's emphasis on exceptional technical quality, execution, and pragmatism over design skills or working on only the most exciting features.
