The work

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Browser team in our Platform group, you will be setting the direction that powers our entire user interface development. Your primary focus will be on designing the large-scale systems, frameworks, and tools that our product and engineering teams use every day. You are a profound force multiplier, and your work will fundamentally shape the productivity, quality, and technical culture of the entire engineering organisation.

We achieve this by providing a world-class front-end platform that enables Glia's developers to efficiently build, deploy, and maintain high-quality user interfaces. Our work is focused on our design system (Prism), creating intuitive front-end tooling, and establishing solid frameworks that make development easier and more efficient across the entire organization.

Our team is distributed across Estonia (Tartu, Tallinn) and Poland, and our processes are optimized for remote collaboration. While we are remote-first, we have physical offices in both Tallinn and Tartu, so you’ll have the option to work from there if you prefer. We work in the Eastern European time zone (EET/EEST) and are hiring for this role in Estonia and Poland.
