## Description BackerKit helps creators bring projects to life. For over a decade, we’ve powered some of the world’s most successful crowdfunding campaigns. We’re always building the next generation of our platform, innovating, and driving the industry forward. We’re a remote-first team of ~40 people with a diverse, close-knit team that prizes creativity, enthusiasm, and a willingness to learn. We move quickly, think deeply about our users, and care about building software that lasts.  We’re looking for a Staff-level engineer who is deeply motivated by user experience, interaction design, and frontend craftsmanship and excited to bring that to life within a Ruby on Rails monolith. Perhaps this is you! The role This is a frontend and UX leadership role. You’ll work directly in Rails views using Hotwire, Turbo, Stimulus, and Tailwind to simplify complex workflows and create intuitive user experiences.  You’ll help shape frontend patterns across the product, and turn our powerful, interconnected systems into intuitive experiences that are fast, clear, and approachable. This role is high-context, high-collaboration, and high-impact. You’ll define patterns, raise the quality bar across the product, and influence how the entire Engineering, Product & Design team thinks about user experience. Everyone at BackerKit is customer-facing, and we expect everyone to get to know the creators and backers that we serve (plus, they are awesome, just like you!).  How we build We iterate quickly, ship small experiments, and learn from customers. We are a pairing shop who uses Claude Code, practices TDD, works in one-week iterations, and ships multiple times a day.   We are small-a agile, which means no component of our process is sacrosanct. Weekly retrospectives (among other things) help make sure that our processes evolve as we do. We value communication and shared ownership over rigid roles. As one of our most senior folks, we hope you’ll contribute thoughtfully to those discussions
