See how candidates think and approach the work this role demands, before the phone screen. We'll build a video challenge from this posting, and you can edit or share it before it goes live.
You'll build Gamma's visual experience: pixel-perfect layouts, smooth animations, and responsive interactions that make the product feel magical. That means owning design system components from buttons and inputs to complex editor UI primitives, implementing polished micro-interactions and transitions, and solving tough browser challenges across compatibility and rendering. You'll sweat the details (spacing, typography, hover states, loading states, error states, edge cases) while keeping frontend performance sharp.
As a Frontend Engineer focused on UI and design systems, you'll partner closely with designers to translate high-fidelity mocks into production-ready, accessible components and build reusable, well-documented component libraries that scale across the product. This role requires mastery of CSS, a sharp eye for craft, and an instinct for when to polish versus when to iterate.
Our team has a strong in-office culture and works in person 4–5 days per week in San Francisco. We love working together to stay creative and connected, with flexibility to work from home when focus matters most.
