About company

Please make sure to read through our philosophy, how we work, how we design, and how we engineer at umbrel.com/careers before applying.

About the role

In this role, you will lead the frontend engineering at Umbrel, and own major product surfaces in umbrelOS (web UI), our first-party apps, and our website.


We hope you are someone who:

  • Treats Figma as a contract you’ll honor in code, and you’ll improve it when the reality demands.

  • Ships polished, accessible interfaces in React + TypeScript (Tailwind, Shadcn, Radix).

  • Sweats the last 5%: empty states, errors, skeletons, loading strategies, and microcopy that reduces cognitive load.

  • Uses motion to communicate state (not decorate it): consistent easing/durations and meaningful transitions.

  • Thinks in systems: API-design, theming, responsive scales, and components that age well.

  • Writes clear, readable code and tests, and leaves the codebase calmer than you found it.

  • Can take a vague problem → write a short design doc → prototype in code → ship in small, reversible steps.

  • Partners with design early: you’ll prototype, tweak spacing/typography/easing, and treat copy as part of the UI.

  • Communicates crisply in writing (we’re async-first) and gives kind, candid feedback.

  • Has strong product judgment. Knows when to refine and when to press "ship."
