Job Description
Chromatic is a platform used by thousands of front-end teams worldwide, including BBC, Shopify, Adobe, and ourselves. Our mission is to safeguard all of the world's pixels, and Storybook plays a critical role: it’s how our work reaches the broadest developer audience and sets the standard for UI quality across the web.
Responsibilities
- - Contribute to the Storybook codebase as a core maintainer
- - Design, develop, and refine Storybook APIs that serve our end users, addon authors, and core maintainers (us!)

- - Work with other engineering teams at Chromatic to ensure feature continuity between Chromatic and Storybook
- - Participate in the engineering team's support rotation, which is primarily within business hours
- - Optionally, you will have opportunities to represent Storybook externally through conference talks, blog posts, or other channels
Required Skills
- - 5+ years of experience building for the web using JavaScript/TypeScript or other relevant languages
- - Prior experience building or maintaining developer tools, frameworks, or libraries used by other developers
- - Solid understanding of how modern web frameworks and build tools (e.g. Next.js, Vite) work under the hood — you’ve built, debugged, or extended them to solve real-world problems
- - Strong written and verbal communication skills in English; comfortable working asynchronously across a distributed team
- - Comfortable engaging in open, constructive discussions in a collaborative, engineering-led culture
- - Interest in learning how large open-source projects operate, from release cycles to community feedback, and in growing your impact over time
- - Genuine enthusiasm for making developers' lives easier and helping shape where frontend development is headed
Benefits
- - Equity
- - Fully remote position
- - Inclusive team environment
- - Opportunities for professional growth and development
