This role is ideal for a mid-level Frontend Engineer with 3+ years of experience who bridges the gap between technical excellence and product intuition. You should be an expert in **React** and **GraphQL**, with a focus on building seamless user interfaces. While the company has a global presence, this specific position is a "remote co-located" hybrid role requiring you to live within commuting distance of the **New York City** hub.

Highlights include a 4% 401(k) match, 16 weeks of parental leave, and generous allowances for home office setup, wellness, childcare, and "dogfooding" the app (buying/selling on the platform). It is a high-impact opportunity to own features end-to-end for a "unicorn" marketplace. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Are a React expert who can translate Figma designs into pixel-perfect web experiences. * Prioritize user experience over "clever" technical solutions and have a strong product sense. * Thrive in a high-ownership environment where you manage projects from inception to launch. * Live in or near NYC and enjoy a mix of remote flexibility and in-person collaboration.
