About Avoma
Avoma is an intelligent meeting assistant that helps revenue and customer-facing teams automate the busywork around meetings. We use NLP and machine learning to transcribe, summarize, and extract key topics and action items — automatically syncing that data back into the CRM so teams can focus on the conversation, not the note-taking.
We're a series-A venture-funded, early-stage startup with thousands of paid customers and consistent month-over-month growth.
About The Role
We're looking for a Lead Frontend Engineer to be the senior technical voice across our frontend surfaces — the core web app, our Chrome extension, and our Electron desktop app. This is a senior IC role: you'll set technical direction, make architecture calls, and mentor other engineers, without formal people-management duties.
Avoma doesn't have dedicated PMs today — engineers here own product thinking directly, from talking to users and shaping requirements through to shipping. If you want someone else to hand you a fully-specified ticket, this isn't that role. If you want real say over what gets built and why, it is.
You'll Work Across
- Video Player — Video.js-based playback of meeting recordings, including HLS streaming and quality selection.
- Chrome Extension — the in-meeting capture experience that talks to our core web app.
- Electron Desktop App — our native meeting companion, built with Electron Forge.
- Performance & Delivery — bundle size, caching strategy, and CI/CD pipeline improvements (GitHub Actions).
- Interactive Dashboards — data visualization built on D3 and Nivo, plus reusable React wrappers around them.
- Collaborative Note Editor — real-time, multi-user rich text editing built on Slate.js/Y.js (CRDT-based sync), with an active migration path toward Tiptap.
You'll work closely with backend and product leadership across all of the above — this role touches nearly every part of the product a user sees.
The Bar We're Hiring For
We're not looking for someone who just closes tickets. We want an engineer who thinks like an owner:
- You dig to the root cause instead of patching symptoms, and your fixes tend to prevent the next three bugs, not just the one in front of you.
- You anticipate edge cases and system-wide impact without being told — your work rarely comes back for rework.
- You raise the bar for the engineers around you through code review, design docs, or just the example of your own work.
- You're comfortable owning both new product surfaces and the unglamorous work of maintaining and hardening what already exists in production.
- You go deeper than the ticket — you understand the user problem behind a request, question requirements that don't hold up, and shape what gets built, not just how. At Avoma, engineers fill the product-thinking gap directly; there's no PM layer to defer to.
What You'll Bring
- 8+ years as a software engineer, with a track record of shipping high-impact software.
- Strong command of React, Redux/Redux Toolkit, JavaScript, and TypeScript — our codebase is a mix of both, and we lean toward TypeScript for new work.
- Experience owning frontend architecture across a growing codebase — including migrations (e.g., legacy JS TS, or between library versions).
- Comfort working across more than just a single web SPA — prior experience with a browser extension and/or an Electron/desktop app is a strong plus.
- Experience with data visualization (D3 or similar) and/or real-time collaborative editing (Slate, Tiptap, ProseMirror, Y.js, or similar CRDT tooling) is a strong plus.
- Experience writing and maintaining tests (we use Vitest, React Testing Library, and Playwright for E2E).
- Comfortable operating without a dedicated PM — you can go from a rough problem statement or user complaint to a scoped solution yourself.
- Genuinely resourceful with AI coding tools — you use Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor, or similar day-to-day to move faster, not as a novelty. We want someone who's figured out how to get real leverage from these tools on a production codebase, not just autocomplete.
- Strong eye for detail and genuine passion for consumer-grade UI/UX.
- Experience translating design mockups into responsive UI with Tailwind CSS.
- Excellent written and verbal communication — you'll be a technical anchor other engineers look to.
