Staff Front-End Engineer - Telemetry

Join the team redefining how the world experiences design. Hey, g'day, mabuhay, kia ora,你好, hallo, vítejte! Thanks for stopping by. We know job hunting can be a little time consuming and you're probably keen to find out what's on offer, so we'll get straight to the point.

The aspiration is high: an SDK so well-designed that, in many cases, developers don't need to instrument anything at all. The data is just there. That's the ceiling this role is reaching for, and getting there means rethinking how instrumentation works from the ground up. There's a second reason this work matters now, and it's the part of the role that's genuinely new. AI-driven experiences bypass the traditional frontend. There's no click, no rendered UI to measure, no familiar interaction pattern to instrument. There's no settled playbook for measuring it yet, and the engineer in this seat will help shape one. Telemetry for AI-native experiences is frontier work, and that's the part of the brief that's hardest to find anywhere else. At the moment, this role is focused on: B
