At Chromatic, our mission is to improve the UX of the internet and safeguard the world's pixels. We're seeking a backend engineer to contribute towards the Chromatic Platform API, which powers our web app, CLI, internal services, and Storybook add-ons. Thousands of developers and stakeholders rely on this API, which powers our UI Tests, UI Review workflows, and other features—all to ensure their frontends are regression-free. We need your expertise to evolve our product and architecture.
Requirements
- 5+ years of hands-on backend engineering experience building scalable, resilient APIs and systems with modern Typescript and Elixir, with a test-driven approach.
- Self-directed problem solver who can scope work, communicate progress, flag blockers early, and make sound technical and product trade-offs independently while staying aligned with stakeholders.
- Strong opinions, weakly held—someone who pushes back on ideas to drive better outcomes, handles critique without defensiveness, and demonstrates a growth mindset.
- Clear written and verbal communicator who provides straightforward, self-contained updates with necessary context in our distributed, asynchronous environment.
- Focused executor who stays accountable to commitments, resists distractions, and delivers consistent progress even when things don't go as planned.
- Genuinely invested in developer experience, whether you’ve shipped tools for developers or spent years deeply understanding frontend teams' pain points.
