Frontend Engineer & UI Designer (Developer Tooling)
We are looking for a builder-designer hybrid who makes a developer-facing product feel premium. You design it in Figma and ship it yourself in Hotwire. If you sweat the 200ms of jank nobody else notices, and you have both the taste to design the thing and the skill to build it in production, this role is for you.
About SearchApi
SearchApi is a real-time SERP API delivering structured data from 100+ search engines and sources, including Google Search, Google Shopping, Google Jobs, Bing, Baidu, YouTube, Amazon, and many more. We power production workloads for Fortune 500 companies and fast-moving startups who need reliable search data at scale.
We're a lean, profitable, bootstrapped team. No VC pressure, no bloat. Just engineers shipping real products to real customers.
Co budeš dělat
- Design and ship, not hand off. Take a feature from Figma to a merged PR: ViewComponents, Stimulus controllers, Tailwind, the whole thing.
- Own the dashboard. The logged-in experience: usage analytics, request history, billing, API keys. Make a data-dense console feel calm instead of cluttered.
- Build interactive API playgrounds. Where a developer fires a real request and watches structured JSON come back live. Make it the thing people screenshot and share.
- Own the docs and marketing experience. Keep the component system coherent, fast, and beautiful as the product grows week over week.
- Build honest data viz. Turn raw metrics into charts a developer trusts at a glance, using a consistent, semantic color system.
- Hold the line on craft. Native HTML first, Turbo Frames over client-side state, Tailwind over inline styles. Push Hotwire to its limits before reaching for a dependency.
- Clean up as you go. Tame the JavaScript bundle, kill dead CSS and one-off controllers before they pile up.
- You own the front end. We don't hand you pixel-perfect specs. You decide what deserves polish now and what ships good-enough, and you make the call.
Koho hledáme
- You design and build. You've shipped frontend you also designed, and it looked genuinely good. Not "good for an engineer." Good.
- Hotwire-native, or close. Fluent in a server-rendered, component-based stack (Rails + Hotwire ideal; Phoenix/LiveView, Django, or Laravel translate). You reach for native HTML before JavaScript.
- Tailwind cold. Real opinions about spacing, type scale, and color systems.
- You love developer tools. You have a favorite dashboard and an API console you think is beautiful, and you can say exactly why.
- Great writer. You can explain a design tradeoff in a PR description without needing a meeting.
- Self-directed. You take a vague "make this nicer," turn it into a plan, and ship it.
- Fluent in English, written and spoken.
- Production frontend you designed and built yourself, with links to show it.
- Strong with a server-rendered, component-based stack (Rails + Hotwire strongly preferred).
- Fluent in Tailwind (or a similar utility CSS) and a real design tool like Figma.
