FingerTrip · Founding team
Creative Frontend Engineer
Build the interfaces that turn FingerTrip’s intelligence into something people can feel. You will shape map-first, mobile-first product flows and carry ambitious interaction ideas from prototype all the way to production.
What you will do
- Design and build polished consumer experiences with React, TypeScript, CSS, and Motion.
- Prototype discovery, trip, map, recommendation, and memory flows, then carry the strongest ideas into production.
- Evolve a responsive, accessible design system that works beautifully from 375px upward without giving up performance.
- Work directly with the founder on product and visual direction, and set the frontend quality bar the rest of the team builds against.
What we are looking for
- Strong production React experience, and a portfolio that shows both visual judgment and frontend execution.
- Proficiency with at least one of Figma or Adobe After Effects, and the ability to translate a beautiful UI or motion concept faithfully into code.
- Excellent sensitivity to typography, spacing, motion, accessibility, and responsive behavior.
- Comfort owning ambiguous work end to end in a small team, and shipping it to real users at pace.
Nice to have
- Experience with maps, geospatial interfaces, WebGL, data visualization, React Native, SwiftUI, or creative coding.
- Experience turning product experiments into maintainable systems used by real customers.
- A personal practice — side projects, motion work, generative art, or writing about design — that shows how you think about craft.
Why FingerTrip
Search returns results, maps return places, social returns inspiration, and travel apps return inventory — and people are still left to turn all of it into a decision themselves. We believe AI changes that interface for good. FingerTrip understands what someone actually wants and helps them go and do it, and every founding role here shapes what that becomes.
