Glue is seeking a senior software engineer for front-end development, focusing on modern UI/UX technologies and building a strong engineering team.
Glue is not just another team chat app. We're building the first platform for agentic team chat—a workspace where AI agents and humans collaborate as peers. Our platform supports leading AI models (GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, and open-source alternatives) and integrates with thousands of apps through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling teams to direct actions across their entire tech stack without leaving chat.
We recently raised $20M in Series A funding. Co-founded by David Sacks and Evan Owen, Glue is redefining how teams communicate and get work done in the AI era.
We’re looking for an experienced and passionate staff-level software engineer to join our front-end development team. As a key member of the early team, you will be instrumental in stewarding front-end best-practices architecture, and craftsmanship across the team. You will be pivotal in recruiting and developing a world-class engineering team that will support the massive vision of Glue’s impact on work communication. Our problems are heavily UI/UX-focused, and our technical foundation -- modern Typescript, React, & GraphQL -- is simple, straightforward, and battle-tested. As a technical leader of the team, you’ll get to help set the direction of the product, codebase, and team culture. We ship daily and experiment with ideas and interactions as we envision them, focusing on usability, attention to detail, performance, and innovation around optimal team communication.
Who you are
- An accomplished senior-level or equivalent software engineer with deep experience in front-end technologies, including Typescript, React, and preferably typed backend APIs such as GraphQL.
- Love to identify opportunities and implement improvements to existing systems and workflows for performance, scale, speed, and accuracy. You like leveling up the team around you.
- A self-starter, a builder, a doer. You know how to architect a project the “right way,” but also know when to ask about requirements and make tradeoffs depending on the maturity of the project.
- Care about details but know when to avoid getting lost in the weeds and prioritize the immediate outcomes needed.
- Want to be part of a scrappy, early team who is building something ambitious and exciting.
What we're looking for
- 6+ years of front-end web development experience, including 2+ years with Typescript and React
- Deep understanding of web technologies including the DOM, CSS, and Javascript.
- Independent and self motivated -- maintaining side projects or libraries a major plus
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly articulate ideas to both technical and non-technical audiences
- Optimistic attitude and a "let's try" approach to tackling difficult situations
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field is preferred
Compensation & Benefits
- The pay range of base compensation for this role is typically $180,000 - $220,000
- This is a very early role, so in addition to a competitive base salary we are offering significant equity, a healthcare package, and whatever equipment you need to excel at your job
- Flexible vacation policy and work/life balance -- we’re moving quickly but want a sustainable culture
- We’re currently located in San Francisco but are open to remote applicants
