Frontend Developer II building customer - facing applications for Best Buy Canada. Developing and deploying React - based front - end solutions in an Agile technology team.
About the role
- Frontend Engineer working on Tailscale's web console by driving technical direction and architecture. Focusing on identity-adjacent systems and building frontend infrastructure for Tailscale products.
Responsibilities
- Own the technical direction and architecture of Tailscale’s next-generation web console
- Build frontend infrastructure and platform capabilities that enable multiple Tailscale products to ship within a unified console experience
- Bring a special focus to identity-adjacent frontend systems, including authentication, session management, secure cross-origin integrations, and product surfaces that span multiple services
- Define and drive the frontend architecture for Tailscale’s next-generation console, including application structure, routing, state boundaries, shared abstractions, and long-term maintainability
- Design and maintain cross-origin authentication and session infrastructure between the console and other services, including auth flows, CORS policies, CSRF protections, cookie/session strategies, and support for multiple deployment environments
- Build and operate a frontend serving platform capable of hosting multiple Tailscale products under a unified development workflow
- Establish shared infrastructure, conventions, and design patterns that consolidate distinct product experiences into a cohesive console platform
- Create frontend architecture patterns, tooling, and abstractions that enable non-frontend engineers to build accessible, production-quality UI safely and efficiently
- Partner closely with Product Design to turn complex infrastructure and identity concepts into intuitive user experiences
- Collaborate with Growth, Design, Product, and other engineering teams on experimentation and iteration, including A/B testing, analytics instrumentation, and feature rollout strategies
- Define and improve frontend testing strategy across the console, including integration testing, end-to-end coverage, local developer ergonomics, and abstractions that reduce testing complexity for product teams
- Work with infrastructure and engineering tooling teams to improve local development workflows, build pipelines, preview deployments, release ergonomics, and operational reliability
- Raise the quality bar for frontend engineering across Tailscale through technical leadership, reviews, mentoring, and clear platform guardrails
- Required participation in our on-call rotation every few weeks, to triage and mitigate incidents
Requirements
- Deep experience building and operating production React applications at scale
- Strong understanding of web platform fundamentals, including HTTP semantics, browser security boundaries, authentication flows, cookies, storage, CORS, and CSRF
- Experience building internal platforms, frameworks, or shared libraries that enable other teams to ship products with strong guardrails
- Experience driving a unified console or platform vision across disparate frontend codebases
- Strong judgment around frontend architecture: knowing when to standardize, when to abstract, and how to keep systems understandable as they grow
- Experience designing scalable frontend testing strategies that improve confidence while hiding incidental complexity from product engineers
- Comfort collaborating across disciplines and functions, especially with design, growth, infrastructure, and developer tooling
- Strong written and verbal communication, including the ability to explain tradeoffs and influence technical direction across teams
- A high degree of ownership and autonomy, with the ability to identify important problems and drive them through ambiguity.
- Experience designing frontend codebases and tooling optimized for AI-assisted development including conventions and abstractions that help LLM-based agents produce correct, consistent UI with fewer iterations (Nice to Have)
Benefits
- An inclusive, flexible environment where you can be your authentic self.
- A competitive total compensation package.
- Comprehensive group benefits with no waiting period.
- Remote first company.
- Connect with other Tailscalars IRL.
- Support for your personal and professional development.
- Paid time off and a healthy work-life integration.
- A build-your-own home office setup.
- Generous parental leave program from your first day.
