Description For Senior Front End Engineer

Distro is building the AI platform of record for inside sales and counter reps in the industrial distribution industry. Our platform helps reps quote faster, close more business, and improve margins — all while delivering a superior customer experience.

We're a well-funded, post-YC (S24) startup with strong early traction and growing customer demand. Our goal is to modernize a massive industry that has historically been underserved by software.

As a Senior Front End Engineer at Distro, you'll be joining at a formative stage with real traction, real customers, and a huge market in need of transformation. This is an opportunity to help shape the product, the codebase, and the company's future.

What makes Distro different:

  • Real AI, real users — We're not building AI theater. Our product is used by hard-working sales reps solving complex quoting problems every day.
  • Design-led culture — Product design is crisp, thoughtful, and first-class. You'll work from clean Figma files with a strong design partner.
  • Tight customer feedback loops — We talk to users every week and ship based on real workflows and pain points.
  • High agency, in-person — We believe the best ideas happen at the whiteboard. We work together in our Palo Alto office and move quickly.
  • Massive vertical, clear ROI — Our customers close more deals and make more margin using Distro.

The role offers competitive compensation ($150K–$180K + 0.25%–0.75% equity) and a hybrid work arrangement based in Palo Alto (in-office Mon/Tue/Thu/Fri, WFH Wed).

If you're excited by early-stage product development, have strong frontend engineering experience, and want to build something impactful, we'd love to hear from you. Join us in transforming how industrial wholesale distributors operate and grow their businesses.
