A day in the life of a Frontend Platform Engineer at Calendly
Building Platform Infrastructure
Design, develop, and maintain the services and frameworks that product teams depend on. You will work hands-on with technologies like React and Webpack to build highly resilient, scalable systems; from real-time server-to-client data infrastructure to shared frontend services.
Contribute To Critical Initiatives
Contribute to significant projects from concept to production. Whether it’s building and launching real-time server-to-client infrastructure, optimizing package performance, or designing new platform capabilities, you will deliver high impact solutions with quality and reliability at the forefront.
Cross-Functional Partnership
Partner with product managers, designers, and engineering teams across Calendly to translate their needs into robust platform solutions that serve the entire organization. You will be a connector across teams, building relationships with product engineers and acting as a trusted liaison who advocates for platform solutions that make their work easier.
Operational Excellence
Ensure reliability and performance of platform services through thoughtful monitoring, testing, and incident response. Participate in on-call rotation to support business-critical systems and drive continuous improvement based on operational learnings.
What do we need from you?

- Strong proficiency in React, TypeScript, and Webpack (or comparable build tooling), including application architecture, dependency management, and performance optimization
- Experience designing and maintaining shared frontend platforms, libraries, and infrastructure used across multiple teams
- Experience with package ecosystems (versioning, upgrades, migrations, and compatibility across apps)
- Experience building systems and processes that keep frontend dependencies up to date, stable, and aligned across teams
- Ability to partner with product engineering teams to improve application architecture, performance, and maintainability in React apps
- Strong debugging skills, with experience diagnosing cross-app issues spanning packages, build systems, runtime behavior, and CI/CD pipelines
- Experience supporting large-scale migrations (e.g., library upgrades, architectural shifts, routing changes, state management transitions)
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, release workflows, and automation for frontend packages and applications
- Strong communication skills, able to collaborate with design system teams, product engineers, and infrastructure partners
- Authorized to work lawfully in the United States of America as Calendly does not engage in immigration sponsorship at this time
Bonus
- Background in platform engineering, developer experience (DevEx), or internal tools roles

- Experience authoring shared packages from scratch (e.g. datetime utilities, SSE / Server-Side Event clients, custom eslint rules)
- Experience with RTK Query cache architecture, including cache tags, optimistic updates, and strongly-typed API layers
- Experience with Storybook infrastructure and migrations, including CI integration and version upgrades
- Experience with analytics, experimentation, or feature flagging SDKs/infrastructure
What will make you successful here
- You appreciate system-level thinking and building frameworks and abstractions that make the right way the easy way for other engineers
- You are passionate about shared frontend infrastructure and treat it as a product; improving reliability, clarity, and long-term sustainability.
- You contribute to reducing single points of failure across our React ecosystem, ensuring platform knowledge is shared and durable.
- You build systems that keep our packages modern and aligned—dependency upgrades, migration paths, tooling improvements, and CI/CD automation.
- You partner with product teams to improve architecture, performance, and maintainability in their React apps.
- You thrive in collaborative environments and are energized by enabling others to ship with confidence
- You are comfortable navigating ambiguity that spans build tooling, shared packages, runtime behavior, and deployment pipelines.
- You collaborate closely with our Design System engineers, complementing their component work by strengthening the platform foundation those components rely on.
- You communicate clearly and confidently, helping teams understand architectural trade-offs and guide migrations collaboratively rather than prescriptively.
- You lead with curiosity and assume positive intent, approaching cross-team collaboration and technical disagreements with empathy and a bias toward shared understanding.
