Frontend Engineer (SvelteKit & Tauri) at SnappyCX

• This is a rare opportunity to be one of our first two engineers, shaping the entire product from the ground up using a best-in-class modern stack.

What You'll Be Doing

• Build the Core Product: You will own the entire frontend, using SvelteKit to build our fast and responsive web application.
• Build the Desktop App: You will use Tauri (and your Svelte components) to build our lightweight, cross-platform desktop app that is not another 150MB Electron clone.
• Collaborate & Integrate: Work directly with the founder and our backend (Go) engineer to design and integrate with our API.
• Obsess Over Performance: You will be responsible for ensuring our app loads instantly, feels snappy, and has a minimal memory footprint. We're not just building features; we're building the fastest time tracker on the market.
• Shape the UX: You'll have a major voice in the product. You'll work from designs but also have the freedom to give feedback and make improvements to the user experience.

We're Looking for Someone Who:

• Is a Frontend Expert: You have proven, professional experience building and shipping modern web applications.
• Loves Modern Frameworks: You have experience with at least one modern framework (React, Vue, etc.), but you are especially excited about Svelte/SvelteKit.
• Cares About Performance: You're the kind of person who is annoyed by slow websites. You know how to debug performance bottlenecks and write efficient, clean code.
• Is a Self-Starter: You are a disciplined, product-minded engineer who can manage their own time and work effectively in a small, hybrid team.
• Has an Eye for Detail: You can take a Figma design and turn it into a pixel-perfect, responsive component.

Bonus Points (We'll Be Really Excited If You):

• Have built and shipped a real project with SvelteKit.
• Have tinkered with or built an app using Tauri (or even Electron).
• You embrace AI tools such as Claude Code + Cursor.
• Can show us a GitHub profile or personal portfolio you're proud of.
• Have experience in a startup or have built your own projects from scratch.
• Have opinions about what makes a good (or bad) user experience.
