Front-End Engineer

Gumball builds consumer web experiences and the internal tools used to manage them. Our products include mobile-first acquisition funnels, dynamic forms and surveys, administrative tools, and reporting interfaces used across multiple brands.

We are hiring a Front-End Engineer to turn product requirements into clear, responsive, and reliable interfaces. You will work across customer-facing sites and internal tools, make practical design decisions, and collaborate with a senior engineer who provides the backend services your work requires.

Our current front-end stack is TypeScript, React, Next.js, Tailwind CSS, Radix UI, and Material UI. It is a starting point, not a fixed requirement for every future problem. You should be comfortable working in this stack while remaining flexible enough to evaluate and adopt different tools when the product’s needs justify them. Most customer traffic is mobile, so mobile behavior is a core engineering requirement.

What you will do

• Build and maintain responsive customer-facing experiences and internal web applications.
• Create forms, surveys, editors, dashboards, and reusable interface components that are clear to first-time users.
• Translate written requirements, brand direction, and stakeholder feedback into finished interfaces.
• Make thoughtful decisions about layout, typography, interaction, and responsive behavior. Collaborate with the senior engineer and stakeholders when a decision affects product behavior, shared systems, or more than one brand.
• Work with the senior engineer to define the solution. They provide the backend services and data contracts; you integrate them into the interface and identify what the front end still needs.
• Handle loading, success, empty, validation, and failure states instead of treating the first render as complete.
• Build for mobile use, accessibility, browser compatibility, and maintainability.
• Test your work as a user, document the results, and respond to feedback from quality assurance and code review.
• Keep tickets and pull requests aligned when requirements change.
• Support production incidents when assigned by the Engineering Lead.

What we are looking for

• Professional experience building and shipping front-end web applications, regardless of framework.
• Experience building responsive, mobile-first web applications.
• Strong command of HTML, CSS, component design, forms, validation, and browser behavior.
• The ability to make sound interface decisions without requiring a finished design for every screen.
• Experience integrating front-end applications with APIs or database-backed services.
• A record of owning work through implementation, testing, pull-request review, and follow-up.
• Clear written communication and the judgment to ask for input before assumptions become rework.
• Availability during the team’s Eastern Time workday.

Helpful, not required

• React, TypeScript, Next.js App Router, Tailwind CSS, Radix UI, or Material UI.
• Consumer acquisition funnels, multi-step forms, survey builders, or administrative tools.
• Complex forms, validation, data tables, drag-and-drop editors, rich text, data visualization, or conditional interfaces.
• Front-end performance, automated testing, or accessibility work.

How the team works

You report to the Engineering Lead, who is also the senior engineer, and work closely with the Technical Project Manager and business stakeholders. The Engineering Lead partners with you on the solution and provides the backend your interface needs. You own the quality, usability, and implementation of the front end.
