Our Product
Bubble is the only fully visual AI app builder that lets you vibe code without the code to go beyond prototypes and launch real apps to real users. Chat with AI when you want speed, edit directly when you want control. Bubble's visual editor lets you fine-tune any detail, from the design to privacy rules and programming logic, so you're never stuck, even if AI hits its limits. Everything you need comes built in: a unified web and native mobile editor, enterprise-grade hosting, security, database management, and automatic scaling that grows with your business.
You can build just about anything on Bubble, and our community is living proof. Mailead grew a $10K investment into a $2M valuation, and Faceless.video went from zero to $1M+ ARR in under a year.

Why Join Bubble Now?
The rise of AI-generated software has validated everything Bubble has been building toward for over a decade. But pure AI-generated code is fragile, hard to debug, and rarely production-ready. Bubble bridges that gap, combining the speed of AI with a structured visual platform that produces stable, scalable, secure software. The people who join Bubble right now will help define what that means for millions of builders around the world. If you've ever wanted to work on something that genuinely changes who gets to build, this is your moment.
About the Core Developer Experience team:
The Core Developer Experience (DX) Pod is a new team dedicated to improving the productivity, quality, and satisfaction of engineers working on Bubble's core product and monolith. Our mission is to modernize the developer environment, reduce friction in day-to-day workflows, and unlock sustainable long-term velocity for the entire Core org.
We focus on the pre-deployment developer experience, with an emphasis on frontend-heavy improvements in the near term. Our work includes upgrading tooling and libraries, migrating off deprecated frameworks, strengthening support for our internal design system, speeding up testing and bundling, and addressing technical debt that slows down product delivery.
Some initiatives we drive directly, while others involve building standards, frameworks, and example implementations that empower other feature teams to adopt best practices. By enabling engineers to work faster and with more confidence, the DX Pod creates leverage across the organization and ensures that Bubble's engineering culture can scale as our product and customer base grow.
About the role:
As a Senior Software Engineer on the Developer Experience Pod, you'll lead technical projects that improve how engineers build, test, and ship code at Bubble. You'll take ownership of complex initiatives, from shaping technical designs through execution, and ensure they deliver measurable improvements to developer velocity, performance, or satisfaction. You'll work closely with the pod's technical lead and engineering manager to prioritize initiatives, and collaborate with other teams to roll out changes that scale beyond the pod itself.
This role is hands-on but also highly collaborative: you'll mentor teammates, set standards for high-quality code and maintainable architectures, and help establish best practices that raise the bar across Core engineering.
As a Senior Software Engineer for CoreDX, you'll focus on:

• Migrating off legacy frameworks and introducing modern frontend tooling
• Upgrading shared libraries and improving support for our internal design system
• Reducing test suite runtime and improving reliability of developer-facing tests
• Optimizing the local development loop, including build, bundling, and hot reload times
• Investigating and resolving sources of frontend performance regressions in the Editor
• Defining standards and building frameworks that other Core teams can adopt to increase consistency and speed
• Staying up to date with modern AI tools and incorporating them into the developer workflows

About you:

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a history of delivering high-impact technical projects
• Strong proficiency with modern frontend frameworks (TypeScript, SolidJS/React, etc.) and the ability to work confidently across the stack
• Deep experience with developer tooling - build systems, bundlers, testing frameworks, package managers, and CI/CD pipelines - and a passion for improving how engineers work day to day
• Proven ability to modernize large, complex codebases, including migrating frameworks, upgrading dependencies, and designing for long-term maintainability
• Experience organizing and leading projects that span multiple engineers, ensuring alignment, execution, and measurable outcomes
• Strong problem-solving skills, balancing pragmatic short-term improvements with strategic, scalable solutions
• Collaborative and clear communicator who partners effectively across teams and mentors engineers at different levels
• Adaptable and curious - you proactively identify inefficiencies, dig into root causes, and design solutions that scale beyond your own team
