Learn more about our flexible approach to where we work.
Overview
The Ads Manager team builds the core self-serve platform that brands, agencies, and retailers use to create, manage, and optimize their advertising campaigns on Instacart. We own the campaign creation flows, creative management, reporting dashboards, and design system foundations that power it.
We are hiring a Senior Frontend Engineer II (L6) to co-own the technical roadmap for our advertiser-facing experience, modernize our frontend architecture, and scale complex campaign management and reporting interfaces while elevating our component library, design system, performance, and accessibility across the platform.
You’ll partner closely with Product, Design, Backend, and Data Science teams to build reusable UI abstractions and deliver high-impact features across pillars such as Campaign Activation, Creative & Reporting, Design System & Platform, Performance & Accessibility, and novel AI initiatives.
About the Job
As a Senior II Frontend Engineer (L6) on the Ads Manager team, you will own the team’s frontend technical direction and lead large, multi-quarter initiatives that shape how advertisers plan, launch, and optimize campaigns on Instacart. You’ll define key architectural patterns, improve developer productivity and observability, and act as a primary technical partner to product, design, data science, and backend teams.
- Lead the technical roadmap and architecture for Ads Manager’s web applications, balancing near-term delivery with long-term scalability and extensibility.
- Design, build, and maintain high-quality React UIs for campaign creation, management, reporting, and optimization.
- Define and evolve shared components, state management, and abstractions that make the surface easier to extend and maintain.
- Partner with backend teams on API and data contracts that enable robust, observable, and cost-efficient systems.
- Collaborate with other frontend leads and peers across the company to build alignment on frontend standards and best practices.
- Champion observability, performance, and reliability for Ads Manager, including metrics, logging, tracing, and on-call readiness for critical flows.
- Proactively drive modernization and technical debt paydown, including migrations and refactors of legacy frontend code.
- Embed security-by-design into frontend architecture and lead response for significant security or reliability issues touching Ads Manager UI.
- Propose and lead team-wide and cross-team initiatives on behalf of the EM, aligning stakeholders and driving execution across Ads and partner teams.
- Actively work with designers to build a best-in-class experience for users.
- Mentor and sponsor engineers up to L5, improve onboarding and team practices, and help resolve cross-team execution issues.
- Help define how the team uses AI-assisted development tools (for code, tests, and refactors), including patterns and best practices.
About You
Minimum Qualifications
- 8+ years of experience building modern web applications, with substantial ownership of complex, user-facing products.
- Deep expertise in Node.js and React (hooks, state management, performance tuning) in large codebases.
- Strong skills in frontend architecture: modularization, shared components, routing, data fetching, and error handling.
- Experience designing and integrating with REST and/or GraphQL APIs, working closely with backend teams.
- Proven track record leading large, ambiguous, multi-stakeholder projects from design through rollout and operations.
- Demonstrated impact on team productivity and code health through abstractions, tooling, testing, and CI improvements.
- Experience with monitoring and observability for web apps (e.g., Datadog or similar).
- Comfortable using AI-assisted developer tools in day-to-day work and interested in scaling their use across the team.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills with engineers, PMs, designers, and other partners.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience leading large-scale, data-heavy UIs such as analytics dashboards, editors, or complex workflows.
- Hands-on experience with GraphQL at scale (schemas, client patterns, performance).
- Experience with automation testing frameworks such as Selenium, Cypress, or Playwright.
- Deep experience with frontend performance and reliability (bundle optimization, code-splitting, resiliency patterns).
- Led modernization efforts or major migrations (framework upgrades, design system adoption, legacy deprecation).
- Experience with common design tools such as Figma.
- Track record mentoring L3–L5 engineers and acting as a go-to expert for a domain or surface area.

Tips for Your Front-End Engineer Job Search
Tailor your portfolio to each role
Before you apply, swap in the projects that best match the stack the job listing names. A React-heavy portfolio gets more traction at a React shop than a general showcase does. Curate, don't just accumulate.
Quantify performance wins on your resume
Front-end hiring managers read for impact. Replace 'improved load time' with a concrete before-and-after metric. Bundle-size reductions, Core Web Vitals scores, and accessibility audit improvements all translate directly to business value recruiters recognize.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists front-end engineer openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Filter by tech stack, not just title
Search for the specific framework your work centers on, not just 'front-end engineer.' Listings for 'React engineer' or 'Vue developer' often target different teams than a generic front-end search, and you'll face less competition from mismatched applicants.
Prepare a live code walkthrough
Most front-end interviews include a take-home or live coding round. Practice explaining your decisions out loud as you build. Interviewers evaluate your reasoning about trade-offs, not just whether the code runs correctly.
Negotiate on total comp, not base alone
When you receive an offer, ask for the full breakdown including equity, bonus structure, and learning stipends before countering. Front-end roles at product companies frequently include engineering budgets for conferences and tooling that are negotiable independently of base.
Front-End Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most front-end engineers?
Walmart, Safeway, and Burlington Stores are hiring the most front-end engineers right now, with openings concentrated in California, Texas, and New York, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand is especially active at product-led companies building consumer-facing applications.
How many front-end engineer jobs are remote?
About 62% of front-end engineer openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting strong employer appetite for distributed product teams. Roles focused on design systems, component library maintenance, and accessibility engineering tend to have the highest concentration of remote-eligible positions.
How do you become a front-end engineer?
Start by building a solid foundation in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, then learn a major framework like React or Vue through personal projects. Develop a portfolio that shows real work, including accessible and responsive interfaces. Contributing to open-source projects, completing code challenges, and studying browser internals deepens your technical credibility before you apply.
How do you get hired as a front-end engineer with little experience?
Focus on building a portfolio of functional, polished projects rather than listing coursework. Employers care that your code runs, looks right, and is readable. Targeting smaller companies, agencies, or contract roles lowers the bar for prior employment history. Demonstrating that you understand accessibility and performance from the start signals professional-grade thinking even without years of experience.
What does the front-end engineer interview process look like?
Most front-end interview processes move through an initial recruiter screen, a technical phone interview covering JavaScript fundamentals, a take-home or live coding exercise, and a final loop with engineers and a hiring manager. System design and component architecture questions are common at mid-level and above. Some companies also include a portfolio review or a pairing session to evaluate collaboration.
Where can I find and apply to front-end engineer jobs?
You can find and apply to front-end engineer jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search for roles that match your stack and seniority level, then apply directly to each listing that fits.
