Frontend Software Engineer (Digital Consumer)

Probably the least boring job you’ll ever have.

At air up, we don’t just make bottles. We unbore water with flavor by scent. It makes no sense until you try it, and once you do, there’s no going back.

Behind it all are teams pushing boundaries every day. Product bends taste and design in new directions. Marketing turns ideas into moments people talk about. Operations makes sure those moments reach hands everywhere.

Working here feels like stepping on stage: professionalism meets passion, curiosity meets courage. You’ll experiment, fail fast, learn faster, and actually see your ideas come to life.

It's refreshingly low politics and low ego. Just smart, driven people who lift each other up and make things happen. And whatever happens, it sure won't be boring.

Welcome to air up.

The Digital Consumer teams are mission-centric, cross-functional software delivery teams. They work remote-first and ideate, ship, and run air up’s customer facing systems. This includes evolving our ecommerce platform (https://shop.air-up.com) to keep up with our brand evolution, as well as creating new digital experiences from scratch.

As a Frontend Software Engineer, you are a key member of a delivery team and work closely with other Engineers, Product Managers and Product Designers towards shared goals. You focus on bridging the gap between engineering and design and together with the team you build, test and ship new features.
