With $1B+ in revenue across 13 brands, our portfolio includes Sur La Table, Backcountry, One Kings Lane, and others that serve as real-world innovation labs.
Reports to: [Engineering Manager / Director of Engineering]
About the Role
As our Senior Front End Engineer, you will be a key contributor on CSC Generation's shared services engineering team, building the frontend experiences that power our portfolio of omnichannel retail brands. This role exists because we are accelerating the development of Genesis — our unified operating platform — and need engineers who can ship fast, write clean code, and raise the bar on quality across a complex, multi-brand environment.
You will partner closely with product, design, and backend engineering to deliver React- and TypeScript-based web applications at scale, integrating AI-driven tooling into your workflow as a force multiplier. At six months, success looks like owning significant feature areas end-to-end, having shipped measurable improvements to performance or user experience, and actively leveling up the engineers around you through code review and mentorship.
This is a lean team. You will own a lot, move fast, and make decisions with full end-to-end responsibility.
