Lead Front-End Architect (React)
Build the Future of Real Estate Tech
Smarter Contact is the #1 messaging platform for real estate professionals in the U.S. Our SaaS product powers millions of conversations every month, helping real estate professionals close more deals through smart SMS, voice, and automation.
We're growing fast and need a true front-end architect — someone who's already led major React projects at scale and wants to take full ownership of the front-end across multiple products.
If you're used to freelancing, maintaining apps, or following Jira tickets — this isn't the role for you.
If you're the kind of engineer who designs systems from scratch, challenges product decisions, and wants to ship better UX than 99% of SaaS apps out there — we want to talk.
What You'll Own
Lead the implementation of our front-end architecture and drive it to completion
Collaborate daily with product managers, designers, and backend engineers to deliver user-first features
Own performance, UX, and component library quality across the platform
Spot issues before they happen, communicate proactively, and help unblock the team
Be a key voice representing the FE discipline in cross-functional conversations
What We're Looking For
8+ years experience, with at least 5 years building and scaling React apps in production
Deep expertise in React + TypeScript, state management, and frontend optimization
Strong experience with Chakra UI, GraphQL (Apollo), and modern tooling like Vite
You've worked with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GCP Cloud Build) and Sentry monitoring
You think like a product owner — every feature you build solves a real customer problem
You're a team player who listens, speaks up, and supports the group's success
Bonus Points (Not Required)
Experience with React Native or mobile-first architecture
Messaging, voice, or real-time communications background
You've scaled SaaS apps in fast-growth startup environments
