About the Team

Core Scribd owns the Scribd reading experience and how it makes money. At the center of that is the Doc Page, the surface that drives most of the subscription and ad revenue behind our profitable business.

Our cross-functional squads often involve deep collaboration with other engineering teams, designers, and product managers. Your excellent communication, both in meetings and asynchronously via slack will be a key tool in driving success.

In addition to building product features, your team will own bringing up a new Design System for the Scribd brand.

About the Role

We're hiring a Senior Frontend Engineer to help build frontend features for our next generation of web product experiences.

Our current work involves high levels of collaboration with Machine Learning/AI and backend engineers to create AI/LLM-powered user experiences. You'll ship production-critical frontend code, define patterns and boundaries that other teams build on, and partner cross-functionally to make architectural change practical and durable.

What You'll Bring

Key Attributes

• Strong ownership mindset, taking responsibility for frontend systems from design through long-term evolution

• Strong systems thinking, with the ability to reason about frontend architecture at scale

• Pragmatic approach to modernization, balancing ideal solutions with incremental, low-risk progress

• Strong collaboration skills and comfort working closely with both product and platform teams.

• Long-term perspective on maintainability, extensibility, and developer experience

Experience We Value

• Deep experience with JavaScript/TypeScript and React

• Hands-on experience with Next.js or similar modern web frameworks

• Familiarity with Microfrontend architectures, monorepos, or shared frontend platforms

• Strong understanding of web performance, bundling, and optimization techniques

• Experience collaborating with backend and platform teams to define clean integration patterns

• Comfort operating in environments with high traffic, high visibility, and real user impact

• Comfortable working in a codebase with shared patterns (monorepos, shared UI libraries, or platform constraints) and collaborating across teams

• Excellent written and verbal communication; thrives in a remote, documentation-driven culture

• Highly collaborative: partners closely with product, design, and backend to deliver end-to-end features

Nice to have

• Experience working with or migrating large, complex, or legacy frontend codebases

• You've helped modernize frontend systems in production, not just greenfield projects

• You think about frontend architecture as a product for other engineers, not just a delivery mechanism

• You consider performance, accessibility, SEO, quality, and observability as first-class concerns

• You invest in testing and quality practices that make large-scale migrations safe and repeatable

• You enjoy untangling complexity and leaving systems better than you found them

• You care deeply about how technical decisions affect both developers and end users
