Frontend Engineer

Remote (American or European time zones) or Boulder, Colorado

Zed is a next-generation code editor that's engineered from scratch in Rust to be fast, elegant, and collaborative.

We’re looking for a Frontend Engineer to own zed.dev. You’ll build and maintain the web experiences our users interact with every day: the main site, and a polished admin dashboard for managing accounts, teams, and billing. You’ll work alongside a team of Rust engineers, building tools for a developer audience that cares about performance, craft, and technical detail.

You’ll work closely with our Growth Team, partnering to launch and iterate on high-impact bets related to user acquisition and monetization. You’ll help us experiment, measure, and optimize everything from onboarding flows to pricing pages, playing a direct role in Zed’s growth and business success.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead development and technical direction for zed.dev and our customer-facing admin/dashboard
• Build fast, intuitive, and accessible UIs that set the standard for developer tools
• Collaborate closely with designers and Rust engineers to deliver features and improvements
• Implement and maintain a design system for consistency and quality across all web surfaces
• Ensure admin/dashboard is secure, reliable, and easy for customers to use
• Monitor and optimize frontend performance, accessibility, and SEO

Requirements

• Experience owning and building production web apps (React, TypeScript, Next.js, etc.)
• Care deeply about UX, accessibility, and developer-focused experiences
• Love working on dashboards, portals, or other complex UIs
• Have an eye for design and a high bar for polish
• Are curious about Rust and excited to make changes to a large rust codebase.

Bonus: experience with payments/billing, or customer portals

Join us in revolutionizing the development experience. Your expertise could drive Zed's next game-changing feature!
