Unlayer builds embeddable drag-and-drop builders that power content creation for millions of users across thousands of SaaS applications. Our platform enables companies to add rich email, landing page, document, and creative editors directly into their products — without building from scratch.
We're a technical, product-driven team that values velocity, code quality, and developer autonomy.
We're scaling rapidly. Our Builder and Platform teams need strong engineering to:
Ship faster: Move from weeks to days through better architecture and tooling
Expand capabilities: Build new builder types, export formats, and integrations that unlock new customer segments
Improve reliability: Strengthen testing, monitoring, and deployment pipelines for enterprise customers
Empower partners: Reduce integration time from days to hours through better APIs, SDKs, and documentation
This role directly increases our output by strengthening cross-team delivery, unblocking complex features, and raising engineering standards.
What You'll DoOwn End-to-End Features
Ship complete features from React/TypeScript frontends to Node.js/Fastify backends — from design discussions to production monitoring
Build complex multi-step workflows: AI content generation, advanced export pipelines, custom tool builders
Reduce partner integration time through improved embed SDKs, API ergonomics, and developer documentation
Strengthen Platform & Tooling
Optimize our monorepo: improve build times, streamline CI/CD, reduce deployment friction
Expand testing coverage: Cypress E2E tests, Jest/Vitest reliability, visual regression testing
Enhance developer experience: improve local setup, create debugging tools, reduce onboarding time
Drive Technical Excellence
Architect for scale: design database schemas (Prisma), API contracts (Fastify/OpenAPI), and state management that handle millions of designs
Code review with impact: catch bugs early, suggest performance improvements, share knowledge through thoughtful feedback
Collaborate cross-functionally: translate requirements into specs, challenge assumptions, investigate production issues
Required:
Strong experience building complex SPAs with modern React (hooks, context, suspense) and understanding performance tradeoffs
Proven ability designing and maintaining REST or GraphQL APIs with proper versioning, auth, and documentation
Deep TypeScript knowledge — you leverage the type system to catch bugs and improve developer experience
Database design experience with ORMs (Prisma) including query optimization
Testing mindset — you write unit, integration, and E2E tests that catch real bugs without slowing iteration
Systems thinking — you consider edge cases, failure modes, backward compatibility, and long-term maintenance
Strong communication — clear PRs, documentation, and proactive clarifying questions
Autonomy — you scope work, unblock yourself, and escalate strategically
Nice to Have:
Experience with monorepos (NX, Turborepo) and shared library management
Familiarity with AWS services (Lambda, S3, DynamoDB) and serverless architecture
Experience with builder/editor products or highly interactive UIs
Frontend: React, Next.js, TypeScript, TailwindCSS, Radix UI
Backend: Node.js, Fastify, Serverless Framework, AWS Lambda
Database: PostgreSQL, Prisma ORM, Clickhouse
Infrastructure: AWS (S3, DynamoDB, Kinesis, Athena), Terraform, Docker
Monorepo: Turborepo
Testing: Jest, Vitest, Cypress, MSW
CI/CD: GitHub Actions
Observability: Datadog
We integrate with Clerk (auth), Chargebee (billing), OpenAI/Anthropic/Google (AI), and support multiple builder types.
Our ValuesVelocity over perfection — ship iteratively, gather feedback, refine
Quality over quantity — one well-tested feature beats three brittle ones
Collaboration over heroics — pair on hard problems, share context generously
Outcomes over activity — measure impact (integration time, uptime, velocity) not story points
Growth over ego — give and receive direct feedback, admit mistakes, learn publicly
Small, high-context engineering team where every engineer ships daily. Minimal process: no daily standups, light meetings, async-first communication. We prioritize deep work, trust engineers to manage their time, and measure results by customer impact.
