Job Description

Whippy is leading the way in AI-powered business communication, transforming how companies engage with customers using intelligent AI Agents. From customer support to marketing to sales, businesses rely on Whippy’s Voice AI and Chat AI to eliminate manual workflows—responding to inquiries, nurturing leads, screening job applicants, and automating high-value interactions at scale. By combining AI-driven messaging with omni-channel automation, Whippy replaces outdated tools with a single, powerful platform that helps businesses work smarter, faster, and more efficiently.

⚡About the Role

As a Frontend Engineer at Whippy, you will:

Craft intuitive interfaces that allow our users to interact with powerful communication paradigms.
Write Engineering Requirement Documents to take something from idea, through defined tasks, to implementation, roll out, and evaluation of its success.
Build unit and end-to-end test suites that help us effectively maintain product performance and reliability, and integrate product analytics to measure the success of the features you launch.

Some frontend engineers have built:

Our React Native mobile app from the ground up on their own.
A SQL-style data filtering GUI that interfaces with our flexible backend APIs.
A spreadsheet-style data grid for real-time marketing analytics.
A design system built with Radix UI and Stitches.

🎯About you

A strong understanding of frontend architecture to build interactivity-rich systems for fetching, mutating, and rendering data effectively.
A desire to be a part of the entire project development process. From research gathering and planning, to implementation and monitoring.
Great written and verbal communication skills for expressing ideas, designs, and potential solutions in a mostly-asynchronous manner.

🙌 What we offer?

Compensation is $60K-$80K/year based on experience
Opportunity to take on significant responsibility and ownership in a highly disruptive product.
Working hands-on with serial entrepreneurs who have created $100M+ valued companies.

What to know?

To provide transparency, here are some important points to note about the position:

We are a startup, and our team dynamics differ from those of companies of different sizes and stages. Our team is distributed across the globe, and this distributed nature will continue to grow. This means that there is always something happening, so effective time management in a remote and asynchronous engineering environment is essential.
While English is the second language for many engineers on the team, fluency in written English is a requirement. While fluency in spoken English is also a plus, if you are not confident in your written English ability, please do not apply.
We do not ask applicants to complete take-home assignments or participate in “leetcode” style interviews. However, we do require a two-week full-time or four-week part-time fully paid “work trial” of “mutual assessment.” More details about this mutual assessment period are outlined below. If you are unable to commit to this, please do not apply.
We hire globally regardless of timezone, but we have team meetings on Mondays and Fridays at 2:30 pm GMT. If you are unable to be online during these hours, please do not apply.
Pay is determined by role, level, location, and alignment with market data. Individual pay will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: interviews and an assessment of several factors that are unique to each candidate, job-related skills, relevant education and experience, certifications, and abilities of the candidate.

What’s the process?

Submit your Resume or CV
Video call to talk about your experience and the role.
2-week full-time paid work trial.
Meet the team and review work.
Full Time Position Offer extended.

How does the paid assessment period work?

Before the trial, we’ll discuss some options for a two-week project. We’ll agree on the scope of the project before you start.

You’ll work independently, however, you’ll have access to the team to ask questions and get support on anything you might need to complete the task efficiently.

At the end of the trial, if we both enjoyed working together, we’ll offer you a full-time position.

We’re aware that there are pros and cons to this process, but we believe this is the best possible way for both parties to be excited about working together. If you are asking questions like “I’m applying for multiple jobs what happens if I get one can we speed up the trial?” Then you’re probably not going to be the right fit and you should take another role.

🎯 Who is this job for?

This role is best suited for a Middle Frontend Engineer with experience building modern, data-driven web applications in a startup environment. The candidate should be proficient in React, React Native, JavaScript/TypeScript, frontend architecture, unit and end-to-end testing, product analytics, design systems, and API integration, with strong technical writing and asynchronous communication skills. They should be familiar with designing interactive user interfaces, creating technical requirement documents, building reusable frontend components, developing test suites, and taking ownership of features from planning through deployment and evaluation.

💬 Potential Interview Questions

How would you architect a React application that handles large amounts of real-time data efficiently?
Answer: I would separate UI, business logic, and data layers, use efficient state management, minimize unnecessary re-renders, implement virtualization for large datasets, and optimize real-time updates using subscriptions or WebSockets where appropriate.
How would you build a spreadsheet-like data grid similar to Google Sheets?
Answer: I would virtualize rows and columns for performance, maintain normalized state, optimize cell rendering, support keyboard navigation, and separate rendering logic from data manipulation to keep the UI responsive.
What are the benefits of creating a design system using Radix UI?
Answer: Radix UI provides accessible, unstyled primitives that enable consistent, reusable components while allowing full control over styling and reducing accessibility-related implementation effort.
How do you manage asynchronous data fetching in a React application?
Answer: I typically use libraries such as React Query or SWR to handle caching, background refetching, optimistic updates, loading states, and error handling while keeping components clean and maintainable.
How would you test a modern frontend application?
Answer: I write unit tests for business logic, component tests using React Testing Library, end-to-end tests with Cypress or Playwright, and integrate all tests into the CI pipeline before deployment.
How do you measure whether a newly released frontend feature is successful?
Answer: I integrate product analytics to track user adoption, engagement, performance metrics, error rates, and business KPIs, then iterate based on real user behavior and feedback.
How would you design an Engineering Requirements Document (ERD) for a new frontend feature?
Answer: I define the problem, user requirements, technical approach, API dependencies, implementation plan, testing strategy, rollout process, success metrics, and potential risks to align stakeholders before development begins.
How do you optimize React applications for performance?
Answer: I profile the application, reduce unnecessary re-renders, implement lazy loading and code splitting, optimize bundle size, cache expensive computations when beneficial, and continuously monitor performance metrics.
How do you collaborate effectively in a remote, asynchronous engineering team?
Answer: I document technical decisions clearly, communicate proactively through written updates, create detailed pull requests, participate in design discussions, and ensure everyone has enough context to collaborate without constant meetings.
Describe a frontend project where you took ownership from design to deployment.
Answer: I gathered requirements, designed the architecture, implemented the feature, wrote automated tests, collaborated with stakeholders during reviews, monitored production after release, and iterated based on user feedback and analytics.
