Member of Technical Staff; Frontend

We're hiring a Member of Technical Staff (Frontend) at Ona.

You’ll build refined interactions and systems that make software development seamless. Working with React, Figma, and Go, you’ll solve significant problems for global engineering teams. We’re looking for highly ambitious and deeply passionate engineers who combine technical excellence with architectural taste, taking ownership of foundational systems to deliver pragmatic, performant and maintainable results. We deeply care about the product we build and are excited to add someone to the team that feels the same.

We’re a talent‑dense group of people who transform how software is created, working to empower every company, every team, and every individual to succeed in a software‑first world. We’ve found product‑market‑fit and are scaling with high velocity towards repeatable go‑to‑market fit.

We care deeply, and for many of us, building Ona is our life’s work. Our operating principles are an honest representation of how we build relationships and make decisions. We choose colleagues carefully based on merit and their authentic alignment with these principles.

If you’re energized by the above, we’d love for you to apply!

Our operating principles are a core responsibility of every role. We expect anyone that joins the team to take an active part in forming and enhancing our culture by living out these principles and holding others accountable toward them.

Role‑specific responsibilities:

• Drive technical initiatives end‑to‑end. Balance immediate needs with long‑term sustainability while maintaining high standards for reliability and simplicity.
• Craft pixel‑perfect components and refined interactions. Collaborate with product design to deliver impactful features that consider every facet of the user experience.
• Own core Ona systems. Ensure reliability and continuous evolution of your focus area, whether frontend, backend, or infrastructure.
• Elevate engineering best practices. Contribute to code reviews, architecture discussions, and documentation to raise overall quality and consistency.
• Solve high‑impact technical challenges. Identify and address performance bottlenecks, reliability issues, and developer experience improvements across the stack.

At the end of your first 30 days, you will have:

• Ship code on day one using Ona to build Ona.
• Built deep understanding of Ona’s core value proposition and architecture through hands‑on contribution, user interviews, and key system analysis. Able to articulate main technical and business challenges.
• Shipped multiple meaningful improvements across the stack, demonstrating ability to navigate our codebase, deployment processes, and engineering principles effectively.
• Established strong working relationships within your direct team and adjacent teams (e.g. Go‑to‑Market, Sales) through collaborative problem‑solving and technical discussions. Started contributing to architecture and design discussions.
• Shipped a feature that lands on our changelog and is demoed in All Hands.
• Opened the drawer and challenged the CTO on a design idea.

• You work in alignment with our operating principles.
• You drive pragmatic engineering excellence. You have strong technical judgment that helps you identify the right level of investment for each situation – knowing when to build for scale and when to optimize for speed. You consistently deliver high‑quality solutions while remaining pragmatic about trade‑offs. Most importantly, you’re a generalist who can contribute effectively across our stack while bringing deep expertise in your chosen focus area.
• You build high‑impact systems. When building systems, you start by deeply understanding the problem space, designing a solution. You have a track record of delivering outcomes that not only work well technically, but drive meaningful value for users and the business. You think holistically about the entire product experience including performance, documentation, user workflows, and operational concerns.
• You lead through execution. You drive results through a combination of technical expertise, clear communication, and strong execution. You’re comfortable…
