Description For Founding Frontend Engineer

Roame is revolutionizing the travel industry by creating a flight search engine specifically designed for credit card points and miles. As a YC-backed startup (S23) with funding from top investors including Goodwater and Accel's starters fund, we're on a mission to help millions of travelers maximize their points value.

The role of Founding Frontend Engineer is a crucial position where you'll own 110% of the frontend development. Working directly with the CTO in San Francisco, you'll be responsible for building and iterating on our NextJS-based platform. We're looking for someone with 3-6 years of experience who can work autonomously, has a good eye for design, and shares our passion for travel and points/miles.

Our tech stack includes NextJS on Vercel, Firebase, and GraphQL for the backend. The ideal candidate should be comfortable with rapid iteration cycles, have production experience, and demonstrate initiative through personal projects with significant user bases.

We offer competitive compensation ($125,000-$200,000 plus 0.40-1.00% equity) and comprehensive benefits. Our culture emphasizes strong work ethic, ownership, accountability, and direct communication. We believe in going above and beyond, taking initiative, and maintaining a supportive, family-like environment.

The position requires in-person work 5 days a week in San Francisco, where you'll enjoy free lunch and collaborate closely with the founding team. You'll be joining at a pivotal time as we scale our platform to help users navigate the $69 billion worth of points issued annually.
