Product Engineer (Frontend Focus)

• This company focuses on human risk management by targeting interventions to drive better behavior and reduce risk.
  
• This Company has one product manager and values independent product intuition.
  

• Full stack role with a 30% backend and 70% frontend focus; product engineering with strong frontend lean.
  
• Requires experience in React and familiarity with GraphQL is beneficial.
  

• Senior role requires 5+ years of experience, with strong intuition for product development and architecture.
  
• Mid-level role is more flexible, but backend-to-frontend schema knowledge is a plus.
  

• Should have product impact experience, willingness to work across frontend and backend, and mentor others.
  
• Startup experience is preferred for autonomous product intuition.
  

• Hybrid model in San Francisco, with office days from Tuesday to Thursday.
  

• Starts with a technical phone screen, followed by a hiring manager screen and onsite interviews.
  
• Focus on frontend coding knowledge and product sense.
  

As a Full Stack Engineer (Frontend Focus), you will own the customer-facing surfaces that sit at the heart of this client's product. This company helps companies manage human risk – using signals intelligence from customer integrations to build risk profiles of employees and target behavioural interventions accordingly. This role sits at the delivery end of that pipeline: the interfaces through which those interventions actually reach people, spanning a front end application hosting video briefings and compliance training modules, slideware, and real-time notifications across Slack and Google Chat.

You will spend roughly 70% of your time on the front end and 30% on the backend, but that split reflects emphasis, not a hard boundary. Fable's compliance training product is a good illustration of what this means in practice: content is served from the backend, assembled from JSON modules, and rendered through the Puck editor on the front end. Owning that kind of feature requires you to hold both sides of the stack in your head at once, and to have clear opinions about how the two should interact. You will help evolve the GraphQL schema that sits between the front and back end, keeping it backwards-compatible as the product grows, and there is meaningful work to be done improving data loading efficiency across the stack.

Note: this is not a platform role, a design systems role, or a front end infrastructure role. If you are drawn to abstraction layers, component libraries, and developer tooling over shipping things that land in front of real users, this is probably not the right fit.

With only one product manager across the entire team, engineering and product thinking are deeply intertwined here. You will be expected to understand not just how to build something, but why it is worth building and what problem it solves for the customer. Beyond your own work, you will help raise the front end bar across the team through code reviews, shared standards, and mentorship as Fable scales. The engineers who thrive here are as comfortable asking "should we build this?" as they are asking "how do we build this?"

Responsibilities

• Build high-quality, responsive interfaces using React, Next.js, and modern web technologies – with a strong emphasis on product engineering rather than infrastructure or platform work
  

• Own features end-to-end, from front end through to backend logic, data modelling, and schema design – this is a full stack role that skews front end (roughly 70/30), not a pure front end role
  

• Work directly on customer-facing products – including video briefings, compliance training modules, and real-time notification surfaces across Slack and Google Chat – and take clear ownership of their impact on end users
  

• Help evolve the integration between our front end and backend, including improving how data is loaded efficiently and how our GraphQL schema is extended safely and backwards-compatibly over time
  

• Engage with early users, learn from feedback, and iterate quickly – bringing a measurable customer lens to your work, not just shipping features but understanding the user problems they solve
  

• Contribute to a strong engineering culture through code reviews, shared ownership, and mentorship – particularly around front end best practices
  

• Ship production-grade code quickly and thoughtfully, balancing quality and speed in a fast-moving environment where you are expected to move with autonomy and confidence
