Software Engineer, Frontend

We're building the creative layer for modern communication. Every month, over a billion people make presentations — but the tools they use to make them haven't evolved in decades. We're changing that, using AI to disrupt a massive market.

📈 Millions of people rely on Gamma to create, teach, and persuade, creating more than 1 million gammas every day.

💻 We see Gamma as the next great workplace tool, combining viral B2C love with a massive B2B opportunity. We believe AI can be a true creative partner : one that understands context, clarity, and taste.

💸 We’ve reached a $2.1B valuation , crossed $100M in annual recurring revenue , and have been profitable since 2023.

💙 We're an imaginative, passionate team who takes our work seriously, but not ourselves. Our culture is warm, a little quirky, and fueled by curiosity.

About the role

You’ll build the collaborative web application that millions of users rely on to create presentations, documents, and websites with AI. This means shipping features that make real-time collaboration feel effortless, integrating cutting‑edge AI capabilities into intuitive interfaces, and ensuring the editor performs flawlessly whether someone’s creating their first gamma or their thousandth.

You’ll work on the core foundation of a complex real‑time collaborative web app : our AI presentation editor. You’ll be working with CRDTs and WebSockets, shaping how users interact with AI‑powered content creation. You’ll collaborate closely with backend engineers, designers, and product managers to deliver polished experiences that feel fast, intuitive, and magical.

Our team has a strong in‑office culture and works in person 4–5 days per week in San Francisco. We love working together to stay creative and connected, with flexibility to work from home when focus matters most.

What you’ll do

Build the core foundation of a real‑time collaborative web app using CRDTs and WebSockets.

Ship features across the full stack that integrate AI capabilities into intuitive user experiences.

Optimize frontend performance to ensure the editor feels fast and responsive for millions of users.

Collaborate with designers to implement polished UI interactions and visual experiences.

Read and suggest improvements to open‑source projects that are core to the Gamma web application.

Work with backend engineers to design APIs that power seamless collaboration and content generation.

What you’ll bring

Experience with real‑time collaborative systems, WebSockets, or similar technologies (Nice to have).

Understanding of CRDTs or operational transformation for collaborative editing (Nice to have).

Prior experience building rich text editors or content editors (Nice to have).

Strong sense of craft and attention to detail in UI implementation.

Curiosity and attitude that matches your technical knowledge.

Compensation range

Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors, including but not limited to experience and expertise in the requirements listed above.

If you’re interested in this role but you don’t meet every requirement, we encourage you to apply anyway! We’re always excited about meeting great people.

We’re building on a full TypeScript stack centered around some of the most modern and popular technologies.

We use our own custom, open‑source AI prompting framework, AIJSX. We have a lot of custom tools built in-house, but also new ones like Vercel AI SDK.

Life at Gamma

You get energy from small teams doing big things.

You love when design, code, and storytelling overlap.

You default to action, even when the answer isn’t clear yet.

You value details, but know when to ship and move on.

You bring both the spreadsheets and the sparkle, equal parts workhorse and unicorn.

You believe AI should amplify creativity, not replace it.

You know kindness and intensity are not opposites.

You like working with people who care deeply : about their craft, their teammates, and the users on the other side of the screen.

Who we are

Gamma is full of imaginative, passionate people who take their work seriously but not themselves. The culture is warm, a little quirky, and fueled by curiosity. It’s the kind of place where you’ll debate a pixel on Monday, laugh over someone’s keyboard setup on Tuesday, and ship something remarkable by Friday.

We care about craft, move with intention, and don’t mind getting a little scrappy. It’s fast, creative, and occasionally chaotic — but that’s what makes it interesting.

Here’s a bit about what it’s like to work here, from people on the inside

We asked the team what makes Gamma, Gamma. Here were some of their answers :

“quirky, inspiring, fun, a little wild in the best way”

“You can have an idea and just run with it.”

“Everyone’s talented and humble — the mix keeps you sharp.”

“We ship cool stuff, learn a ton, and laugh a lot doing it.”

Meet the team

We’re a team of dreamers and doers building in beautiful San Francisco 🌉

We’re kabbadi enthusiasts, pickleballers, dog herders, woodworkers, keyboard nerds, potters, and more — and we can’t wait to meet you!
