Staff Software Engineer, Front End (Customer Experience)

As a Staff Frontend Engineer on the Customer Experience team, you will be a technical anchor for the customer-facing experiences that define how people buy a vehicle with us. You will drive frontend architecture across key parts of the purchase journey, covering trade-in, vehicle configuration, finance and leasing, and delivery, building interfaces that are fast, accessible, and crafted to earn customer trust at every step. 

You will shape how the team approaches UI architecture, component systems, and frontend performance, and you will work closely with engineering, product, and design to raise the quality bar on everything the customer sees and interacts with.
