Senior Frontend Engineer - Remote

OVERVIEW

We are looking for an experienced frontend engineer to join the Popcall team, working in React & Relay. Popcall is an iMessage-style app that gives users instant access to coaches, experts, and influencers via paid messaging and video calls.

This is a remote position, but candidates must be able to work in the Eastern, Central, Mountain or Pacific time zones.

WHO WE ARE

We’re an ambitious, budding creator economy tech startup that’s proven strong demand and retention with an early group of creators. We’re launching publicly this summer.

—

Nearly half of Gen Z + Millennials seek advice from creators they see online, and many want to talk to them directly. But creators aren’t incentivized to respond to the flood of DMs they get.

Popcall gives users instant 1:1 access to creators. It’s an iMessage-style app that lets users instantly video call or message coaches, experts, and influencers for a price.

For users, they can instantly talk to who they want, anytime they want.

For creators, it’s the easiest way to talk 1-on-1 with their followers and get paid.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Build and own features in our Next.js app (TypeScript, Relay, Tailwind)
• Create GraphQL queries/fragments in Relay to interface with the Popcall API.
• Implement new features using many cutting-edge browser APIs (Media/Recording APIs, PWA APIs, Service Workers, etc.)
• Optimize performance on media-heavy / realtime screens.
• Work closely with the CTO and wider team on product direction, iteration of features, reliability and security.
• Assist with some light backend (Node.js + Pothos GraphQL) work.

ABOUT YOU

• Have 4+ years of experience building production React apps
• Have shipped Next.js + Relay/GraphQL apps (or are deeply comfortable with both)
• Are confident debugging and optimizing cross-browser issues
• Write clean, strongly-typed maintainable code in TypeScript
• Are performance-obsessed: you measure, profile, and minimize re-renders
• Enjoy pushing browser APIs and working at the edge of what the web can do
• Thrive in startup environments: autonomous, iterative, feedback driven

WHY POPCALL?

We only ship what we are proud of. We have close relationships with our customers and take their feedback to heart. We are addicted to usage data, finding where people are getting stuck and fixing it.

We've done thousands of paid interactions, with 99% positive customer reviews. Every line of your code will be used by real people, right away. We're now launching our biggest update yet, adding paid text messages, voice messages and video messages.

We are a close, professional team. Our drive is to build the best product and get it in as many peoples hands as possible.
