Join Smarter Contact: Transforming Real Estate Communications 🚀
About us:
Smarter Contact is the leading text and voice messaging SaaS platform for US real estate professionals. To sustain our rapid growth, we’re seeking an experienced Lead Front-end Engineer, to take ownership of the front-end development process, ensuring the delivery of high-quality, scalable, and maintainable software solutions.
We are a fast-paced, Agile environment, ideal for people who thrive in motion, not maintenance. We’re looking for highly collaborative candidates energized by building, scaling, and continuously improving.
About the role:
We are looking for a very experienced Lead Front-end Engineer to transform our front end into a high-quality, scalable, and maintainable solution.
You'll join our engineering team to architect and implement robust, performant React components that deliver exceptional user experiences with our product. You'll collaborate with product, design, and backend teams to build features that help businesses meaningfully connect with their customers.
If you’ve worked in slow-moving teams or highly-structured corporate settings, this pace might feel intense. But if you’re someone who tackles dynamic challenges, takes ownership fast, and learns from users - you’ll find your place here.
The people who do really well in this role are the ones who love understanding the “why” behind what they’re building. They don’t just write code, but they also heavily focus on how a feature ties into the user journey, how it impacts performance, and what happens next once it’s live. They don’t wait to be told what to do - so proactiveness is highly desired.
Ideal environment for those who love to ask questions, spot gaps, and bring ideas to the table.

* In-depth knowledge of GraphQL client implementations (Apollo or similar), including codegen
