The Team
As a Front-end Engineer at Standard Notes, you will play a crucial role in evolving our platform into the leading secure note-taking, knowledge management, and productivity solution. We are seeking a senior engineer who is passionate about client-side architecture, system design, and usability, and who thrives in a highly collaborative environment. You’ll work closely with Product, Design, API teams, and fellow engineers, driving data-informed decisions to deliver a seamless and secure user experience.
Current Projects:
The Standard Notes team is focused on building a comprehensive suite of tools to help users manage their knowledge and boost productivity while maintaining the highest standards of security and privacy. Recent efforts include advancing editor capabilities, improving data organization features, and optimizing cross-platform sync. You’ll work on architecting features such as encrypted search, tagging systems, advanced note formatting, and seamless integrations—all built with React and TypeScript and secured with end-to-end encryption.
Tech Stack and Tools:
- JavaScript, TypeScript, React, ES6, Playwright, Jest, Grafana
- All Standard Notes codebases are open source: https://github.com/standardnotes
Encryption presents unique challenges to front-end development. Features like search and syncing are designed to function entirely within a secure and encrypted environment, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in privacy-first software.
Future Plans:
As a team, we aim to continuously enhance the quality and performance of Standard Notes, transforming it into a feature-rich platform that caters to the diverse needs of both individuals and businesses. This includes improving knowledge management capabilities, expanding organizational tools, and creating integrations that enhance workflows—all while remaining committed to our core values of security, privacy, and simplicity.
