This is the kind of high-craft UI work that is genuinely hard to find elsewhere, on a product whose output ships straight into apps used by millions. Plotline is backed by Elevation Capital and supports customers like Dream11, Upstox, and Zepto. ### Why This Role Matters Own the dashboard that powers in-app experiences for 100M+ end users. Work directly with the engineering team and founders on a small, tight-knit team where ownership is high. Build UI systems and patterns that scale with our high-growth trajectory. We're seeking a rare combination of UI craft, strong engineering fundamentals, hands-on execution, and the drive to own surfaces end to end. ### About This Role Key challenges you'll solve: Complex Interfaces: Building visual builders with deeply nested state, drag-and-drop, and real-time previews that stay fast and predictable. Cross-Platform Fidelity: Shipping UI that renders pixel-accurately both natively and in webviews inside mobile apps, where HTML/CSS precision matters. This is an opportunity to have outsized impact on the product surface every customer touches while building deep expertise in hard UI engineering at a scaling startup. ### Outcomes Expected Own and scale our dashboard and its visual builders, campaign tools, and analytics views, with the state management and performance to keep them fast. Ship high-craft, cross-platform UI that renders reliably both natively and in mobile webviews. ### Responsibilities **Dashboard & Product UI** Visual Builders: Build and own complex builder interfaces with deeply nested state, drag-and-drop, and real-time previews. Campaign & Analytics Tools: Ship the campaign tooling and analytics views that product and growth teams use every day. State & Performance: Manage large, deeply nested client state with a constant eye on performance and responsiveness. **Quality & Cross-Platform** Cross-Platform Fidelity: Ensure output renders pixel-accurately both natively and in mobile webviews, where HTML/CSS precision matters. Craft & Detail: Hold a high bar for UI quality, accessibility, and interaction detail. Full-Stack Depth: Go deeper into Node.js and GraphQL when the feature calls for it. ### Requirements **Professional Experience** 2 to 4 years of frontend engineering experience, with a track record of shipping production web apps. Deep experience with React and TypeScript, ideally on complex, stateful interfaces. Strong HTML/CSS fundamentals and an eye for cross-browser and cross-platform fidelity. **Technical Proficiency** Core Stack: Proficiency with React, Redux, TypeScript, and Next.js. APIs: Comfort working with GraphQL, and Node.js when you go deeper into the backend. UI Engineering: Experience with complex state management, drag-and-drop, or builder-style interfaces is a strong plus. ### Core Competencies **Product Sense** User Empathy: Builds for product and growth teams, sweating the workflows they live in every day. Quality Standards: Values craft and detail, and can explain and defend UI tradeoffs. **Technical Execution** Self-Sufficiency: Ships complete features end to end, from UI to the API layer. Performance Instinct: Keeps complex, stateful UIs fast and responsive. **Startup Agility** Ownership: Takes high ownership on a small, tight-knit team. Growth Mindset: Continuously raises the bar based on user feedback and product needs. Ready to own the dashboard behind experiences for 100M+ users?
