Full-time
For millions of teams working in dozens of industries, day-to-day business gets done on the phone. So why — despite the huge leaps we've taken in design and usability — does most business phone software still look, feel, and act like it was born in the 90s? OpenPhone is changing that.
We’re a new type of business phone with a mission to help people communicate better and be more productive.
We’re backed by Y Combinator and some of the best venture firms around including Tiger Global, Craft Ventures, Slow Ventures, and others. We take pride in providing an exceptional customer experience and a product people love, which is why we’re excited that our customers have rated us the #1 VoIP Provider on G2.
OpenPhone is the modern, sophisticated answer to the clunky, outdated phone systems that have been slowing down businesses for years. With thousands of happy customers and several rounds of funding in just five years, it's safe to say we're onto something big.
About the Role
As a Frontend Engineer at OpenPhone, you'll join one of our specialized Engineering teams working on our innovative communication platform. You'll contribute to building and enhancing a product that thousands of businesses rely on daily, and join one of our teams across our Engineering pillars, who own different areas of our platform:
- UX Feature - responsible for most of our frontend platform and mobile development at OpenPhone
- Gateway - this team owns the early user space: self-checkout, billing and onboarding of new users onto the platform
Technical Stack and Tools:
- Our frontend is a Single Page Application built with React and MobX, using TypeScript.
- We develop in a monorepo powered by pnpm and Turborepo.
- We use Storybook for Component driven development.
- Components are implemented with Vanilla Extract for the styles, React Aria, and our already existing Design System components.
- We write tests using Vitest and Playwright & use Sentry as our frontend observability tool.
- We are also updating our stack to include Relay & GraphQL.

About you
- You have experience working with React & Typescript
- You enjoy solving problems and collaborating with others to design & build a delightful end user experience.

- You are intentional about how your work impacts customers, the community, and each other. You practice empathy, generosity, and thoughtfulness as you evaluate tradeoffs in pursuit of the best solution.
- You are curious. You better seek to understand the ‘why’ behind things, so that you can better plan and build the ‘how’. You don’t hesitate to ask the questions when necessary. You’re a lifelong learner.
- Your code is a pleasure for your teammates to read and understand and you strive to ensure it is readable, testable, and maintainable. When working in the codebase, you leave things better than you found them.
