Job description
From Approvely’s job post, as they wrote it.
We are looking for a Staff Frontend Engineer with a strong product mindset to help shape and build exceptional customer experiences across web and mobile. This role is ideal for someone who combines deep frontend technical expertise with strong UI/UX instincts, thrives in close collaboration with product and design, and can lead work from early ideation through production delivery.
You will play a key role in defining architecture, evolving our frontend platform, raising engineering quality, and building polished, customer-friendly experiences. You should be comfortable working from wireframes, mockups, or even loosely defined concepts, translating them into high-quality interfaces that are scalable, performant, and visually refined.

* Work across frontend and adjacent platform layers to support scalable product delivery
* Help integrate AI and LLM-powered workflows into frontend development, including building and improving UI libraries with AI-assisted tooling
* Contribute to CI/CD pipelines and engineering best practices for quality and release velocity
