[Hiring] Staff Developer @Jane

Role Description

As our Staff Developer, you'll be the technical leader on a small, curious team. You'll help shape the architecture, write code alongside us, and mentor developers who are earlier in their careers and eager to grow. If turning a long-lived product into something patients love sounds like fun to you, I'd really like to meet you.

• Help shape the architecture for moving Online Booking and My Account to React, including routing, data, state, and how legacy and new code share a page while we migrate one section at a time.
• Strengthen the team's existing plans by spotting risks early and bringing clear options to the table, so we land on decisions everyone can stand behind.
• Write code every week across React, TypeScript, and Rails, setting the patterns the rest of the team will build on.
• Champion accessibility from the very first commit, so keyboard behaviour, focus management, and screen reader support are built in from the start and backed by testing that shows they work.
• Grow the developers around you through mentorship, pairing, and code reviews that help people learn and build confidence.
• Partner with Design on our component library to close the gaps the booking experience needs.
• Work with the teams whose pages live inside the booking flow, so they can move to React on their own timelines.
• Drive safe, gradual rollouts with feature flags and production monitoring, so big changes ship in small steps that can be paused at any time.
• Bring a pragmatic, responsible approach to AI, using agentic workflows to speed up the migration where they genuinely help while keeping a thoughtful human eye on quality.

Qualifications

• Around 10 or more years of building software professionally, with experience working at a staff or technical lead level.
• Deep, hands-on expertise in React and TypeScript, including client-side routing, browser history, and state management with Redux Toolkit or something similar.
• A full stack background with real frontend strength, ideally including moving a legacy frontend to React in stages while it stayed live in production.
• Practical experience applying WCAG 2.1 AA to real interfaces, including keyboard behaviour, focus management, and ARIA.
• Comfort designing APIs alongside backend colleagues, plus experience with feature flags, gradual rollouts, and production monitoring.
• A track record of technical leadership, where you've written design docs, made thoughtful calls in uncertain moments, and helped other developers grow.
• A collaborative, low-ego style where you write down your reasoning, change your mind when the evidence says to, and raise concerns early and kindly with options in hand.
• Everyday use of AI in your coding workflow, and curiosity about using it systematically, through things like agentic workflows, to move large migrations forward.
• Experience with Ruby on Rails is a nice-to-have that will help you ramp up quickly, and we're happy to support you in learning it on the job.
• Bonus points for hands-on screen reader testing with tools like JAWS or NVDA, or for building embeddable widgets or web components that run on other people's websites.

Benefits

• Annual salary range of $158,400 to $247,500, reflecting the full growth journey someone might take in the role.
• Most new hires join at the accomplished stage, which for this role represents an annual salary of $188,100.
• Regular career development conversations with your manager and compensation growth as you gain experience.
• Comprehensive benefits package available.
