Senior Frontend Engineer

? Our Careers Page Hello We're Happy Scribe, a 100% bootstrapped and profitable startup, based in Barcelona.
We are on a mission to break language barriers globally and bring audiovisual content to all.
We are building the #1 Audiovisual Platform by combining state-of-the-art AI with trusted language experts to produce high-quality transcriptions, subtitles, and closed captions at speed.
We're 40 people at the moment, and we're building the team thoughtfully and with a lot of care. How would you like to join us on this journey?
This is a hybrid role, based in Barcelona. Happy Scribe is office-first, remote-friendly. In other words, we aim to spend most of our time collaborating in person.
What you will do…We're expanding our engineering team and are looking for a talented engineer who has a strong focus on frontend development. Our team is composed of full-stack product engineers with the ability to take entire features from concept to completion, and we collaborate closely across projects. While we all work across the stack, we're on the lookout for someone with a special passion for the frontend to help us build beautiful, seamless user experiences.
• Where You'll Shine: You'll play a major role in our editors, especially in crafting complex, user-facing interactions. This means you'll work closely with designers, bringing a keen eye for frontend detail and a passion for delivering exceptional user experiences.
What you will bring…Full-stack engineering experience, with a strong frontend focus.
Expertise in Javascript, React and user-interactive designs.
Familiarity with Ruby on Rails + Hotwire or a willingness to learn and thrive in our stack.
Experience working closely with designers to bring complex user experiences to life.
You're product focused. You want to listen to customers, and build the product that will solve their needs.
You care about the business implications of anything you build. You don't go after the shiny stuff, but see it as a balance of craft, speed, and the bottom line.
You love steep learning curves, and are not afraid to learn about subjects that are outside of the comfort zone.
You are excited aboutour engineering principles. Or at least curious about them, if they seem very different from what you've been doing in the past.
Company Culture Have an impact on millions of people — Change how users and language professionals make transcriptions, translations and subtitles.
Work with a small team of bright people — When we talk with most people, they have a hard time understanding how we got so far with so few people. We're close in ARR to a typical Series B company, but our ARR per employee is 10x the industry average.
A company culture built on trust, autonomy, and independence Infinite runway, no investment pressure. We are 100% bootstrapped and profitable. Every penny spent comes from happy customers who are paying for a product they value. Many tech companies are laying off staff because they grew too fast and need funding to survive. We prioritised profitability and sustainable growth, and are not impacted by funding shortage.
? In-Person culture — We believe nothing beats the magic of great people working together in person, in and outside of working hours. We work together, and spend time together: expect laughter-filled conversations over shared meals. The rule of thumb is 80/20 (80% in the office and 20% where you want); you have flexibility to work from abroad or at home when needed.
We make it work — Have kids? Live far away? Do you have a non-normative life setup? The thing we care the most about is the team. Once we know we want to work with you, we make it work and we can flex the 80/20 rule.
? Flexible working hours — Work on the schedule that makes you the most happy and productive. Here's more info.
Beautiful office in Gràcia — One of the best areas in Barcelona. Our offices are much more than just a place to work. We like to see them alive 24/7, filled with friends and creative activities. Want to organise a community event, a breakfast with other designers, developers, etc.? The place is yours. Take a sneak peek here.
? Team Retreats — So far we've been to Paris, Mallorca, the Pyrenees, Aran Islands, Dublin, and Sweden, where we had a small island to ourselves!
International, English-only speaking environment — We're building an international team and want to create an inclusive environment where anyone can join any conversation at any time, even if it's just kitchen talk. That's why you'll find Italian, French or Catalan people talking in English to each other.
What we offer... Competitive salary — our salaries are in the top percentiles of the Barcelona startup scene.
Equity — By joining the company when the team is so small, you're helping us set the foundations of our future success. We're asking you to come on an adventure, so if we find a treasure, we want you to get a piece.
