Show

Stellic is growing! We're looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer based in Pakistan to lead the evolution of our frontend architecture. This is a high-ownership role where you'll shape our forward-looking frontend strategy, drive migration away from our legacy stack, and build world-class product experiences that students and advisors love.

ABOUT US

We're building a future where every student can move through their education with clarity, confidence, and purpose. Our platform transforms the student experience, giving them the tools they need to make the right decisions about their degree plans, track their journey, and build an education and career path that's truly their own.

Stellic is a fast-growing startup backed by leading social impact investors, partnering with top institutions like Cornell, MIT, Columbia, Princeton, and Ohio State to support over 1 million students across 7 countries. As we scale to serve more universities worldwide, we remain deeply committed to this mission, driven by our values, and committed to building a high-performance team that's here to make a lasting difference on both students' lives and higher education.

ABOUT YOU

You're an expert frontend engineer with strong opinions about architecture and a track record of building high-performance, user-facing product experiences. You lead with craft, mentor the engineers around you, and care deeply about the quality of what gets shipped. You're equally comfortable making big architectural decisions and sweating the details on a component.

You're an expert frontend engineer with strong opinions about architecture and a track record of building high-performance, user-facing product experiences. You write tests like you mean it, design for scale from day one, and lead with craft — mentoring the engineers around you while still sweating the details on a component. You're equally comfortable making big architectural decisions and shipping pixel-perfect experiences that users actually love.

  • Frontend Architecture: Lead the selection of our forward-looking frontend stack and develop a strategy for iteratively migrating our legacy frontend to the new architecture.

  • Engineering Excellence: Up-level engineering rigor across the team by mentoring engineers in best practices, design systems, component architecture, and testing strategies.

  • Design Collaboration: Work closely with our design team on design systems, shared components, and delivering experiences that are both beautiful and reliable.

  • Cross-Functional Alignment: Work closely with founders and product managers to understand the why behind each feature, and help drive alignment on frontend priorities alongside product priorities.

TO BE SUCCESSFUL, YOU SHOULD HAVE

  • Strong background in API design, end-to-end testing (Playwright a plus), and CI/CD practices (AWS CodeDeploy, Sentry, Grafana, Prometheus, Coralogix a plus)

  • A strong ownership mindset — you lead complex implementations autonomously and bring others along with you

  • Clear communication skills for collaborating across product, design, and customer-facing teams
