Staff Software Engineer, Frontend

About the role

At Block Labs, you will be responsible for the complete frontend architecture and production behavior of a multi-brand consumer platform. This role emphasizes ownership and requires you to create a seamless experience for adding new brands with minimal configuration. Your work will directly influence product design and user experience.

You will collaborate with a team of senior engineers and product strategists in a mature, low-ego culture. The focus is on building high-quality, scalable platforms for the iGaming sector and beyond. Success in this role means delivering high-performance UI with attention to detail and accessibility, while also leveraging AI coding agents to enhance your workflow.

Skills that matter here

• React: You will utilize React to build and enhance the frontend architecture.
• Next.js: Next.js will be key in developing a multi-brand platform with efficient routing.
• TypeScript: TypeScript expertise is essential for building robust, production-grade applications.

Who this role suits

• You have a strong background in frontend development, ideally with experience in multi-tenant applications.
• You thrive in environments with high autonomy and minimal oversight, preferring to take initiative.
• You possess a keen eye for UI and UX details, addressing issues proactively.
• You are comfortable collaborating with non-engineers and integrating AI tools into your workflow.

From the employer

Key Responsibilities:

• Own the frontend end to end: architecture, conventions, quality bar and production behaviour of a multi-brand platform, with no spec handed to you.
• Make adding a brand a configuration change: theming, brand-aware routing and content, and clean boundaries between shared and brand-specific code, all on a live product.
• Build and own the design system and component library that engineers, designers and AI-assisted prototyping all draw from.
• Turn product prototypes into production features fast, and build the workflow and tooling that make this repeatable.
• Ship with AI coding agents every day as your main way of working, with the checks that keep quality high at agent speed, and raise the bar for how others use them.
• Ship consumer-facing UI with real attention to detail, performance and accessibility.
• Take UX and product concerns straight to the people who own the product, with alternatives and working examples, not just objections.

About You:

• 8+ years building production consumer-facing web applications, several of them at Staff or equivalent ownership.
• You have taken a frontend from a rough brief to production and owned it, and you can say exactly what was yours, what was your team’s and what was your agents’.
• AI coding agents are how you build, not a helper. You have your own setup and can say precisely where agents make you faster, where they produce plausible but wrong output, and how you catch it.
• Deep expertise in React, Next.js and modern TypeScript, with clear opinions on rendering strategies and when each is the wrong choice.
• Hands-on experience building or re-architecting multi-brand, multi-tenant or white-label frontends.
• You have built or owned a design system and can discuss consistency versus flexibility, adoption and governance.
• Strong UI and UX sensibility: you notice the small things and fix them without being asked.
• Comfortable working with non-engineers who build with AI tools, and you design for their output to be usable.
• Demonstrable Core Web Vitals work in production.
• You thrive with autonomy and light process, and you write clearly.
• Strong command of written and verbal English.

What this role is not:

• Not a management or lead role. Influence comes from what you ship.
• Not a pure architecture role. You write production code every day.
• Not for someone who wants a team, a backlog or a complete spec before starting.

What kind of culture can I expect?

• Mature, mission-driven, and low-ego. We value clarity over noise, outcomes over theatrics, and pace without chaos. If you’re one of the smartest minds in your craft and want to build with other experts, you’ll feel at home here.
