About Lago
At Lago, we're on a mission to make billing simpler, more transparent, and more adaptable for SaaS companies. As the leading open-source billing platform, we empower businesses to build flexible pricing models and scale with confidence. We've raised over $22 million in funding from top-tier investors including Y Combinator and FirstMark, reflecting strong confidence in our vision and growth. Our platform has garnered over 9,000 stars on GitHub, a testament to our active and growing developer community. Companies such as PayPal, Synthesia and Mistral.ai choose Lago for their billing. We're a team of ambitious, focused individuals who work together to solve hard problems with excellence and accountability. At Lago, we value reliability and proactivity—we trust each other to own tasks, drive them to completion, and adapt quickly. While we encourage you to try fast and "fail fast", we also expect you to learn fast: make mistakes, but don't make the same one twice. If you're excited by challenges and want to grow alongside a high-performing, supportive team, this is the place for you.
Overview
We're looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer to own and scale Lago's frontend application. You'll work closely with our Product and Backend Engineering teams to build and ship high-quality features, maintain our design system, and ensure the frontend is reliable, performant, and consistent at scale.
What You'll Be Doing
Own and scale Lago's frontend app — reliability, performance, and feature delivery
Co-design and build features with the Product and Backend Engineering teams
Maintain and enhance our design system to ensure consistency across the app
Improve monitoring and observability for frontend issues and bugs
Work autonomously in a fast-moving environment and lead your topics to completion
Who You Are
5+ years of experience in frontend development

Experience managing and scaling design systems in production
Comfortable working autonomously in a fast-paced startup environment
Proactive and ownership-driven — you lead your topics to completion without needing to be chased
A genuine interest in open-source or developer tools is a strong plus
Who You're Not
You're not someone who needs a fully scoped spec to start moving — you're comfortable with ambiguity and make progress anyway
You're not siloed — you collaborate actively with Product, Backend, and Design and communicate clearly across teams
You're not satisfied with "it works" — you care about performance, observability, and long-term maintainability
You're not just a feature builder — you take pride in the systems and patterns that make the whole frontend better
Requirements
5+ years of professional frontend engineering experience
Strong expertise in React
Experience building and maintaining design systems in production environments
