About MakeOSThe MakeOS MissionThe world’s best productions, the ones people talk about, share, and remember, are powered by incredible producers. And almost no software. Behind the scenes, it’s still spreadsheets, emails, and duct-taped workflows holding together projects worth millions. We’re building MakeOS to change that.MakeOS is the operating system for modern production. A single system that brings together budgets, vendors, approvals, and payments in real time, creating a true source of truth for how production actually runs. When you remove the chaos, producers get their time and headspace back to focus on the craft, the decisions, and the moments that make something great. We’re not here to replace the people who make culture. We exist to make it better.About The TeamWe’re a small, high-trust, VC-backed team where people take real ownership. We move quickly, stay close to decisions, and keep things simple with no unnecessary layers, no excess process. The bar is high, the feedback is direct, and the work is real. You’ll be working alongside people who care deeply about what they build and how they build it.About The RoleAt MakeOS, trust isn’t just built in what the product does. It’s built in how it feels to use.Producers live in a world of chaotic spreadsheets and moving targets. When they open MakeOS, they need to feel immediate relief. Because our product handles real money and high-stakes approvals, our frontend must be incredibly responsive and inspire absolute trust. You will establish our client-side architecture and own the user experience. You are a builder who bridges the gap between design and engineering, translating complex state management into an interface that feels effortless. You don't just move buttons based on a spec; you take total ownership of how the product feels.What You’ll Do:Lead the development of our React/MUI application, ensuring the codebase is scalable, maintainable, and highly performant.Build robust state management solutions to handle complex budgets, real-time approvals, and dense data visualizations.Translate rough UX concepts into pixel-perfect, accessible components, making autonomous decisions when exact design specs aren't available.Continuously advocate for the producer’s experience, treating the feel and responsiveness of a feature with the same importance as the underlying code.Our Tech Stack:Python FastAPI backendReact / MUI frontendPostgreSQL, Redis, DockerWhat We’re Looking ForSolid frontend web development experience or educationStrong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript, modern CSS, frontend frameworks (React, Vue.js, etc.).Experience with complex, data-heavy applications using tools like Redux, Zustand, Pinia, or React QueryExperience working on products with great UI/UXNice to have: experience working in or adjacent to productionWhat are we offering?The TangiblesPTO and company-paid holidaysRemote-first with occasional in-person meetingsComprehensive Health benefitsMac laptop providedPhone + Internet Stipend$500 one time at home work space stipendThe Intangibles (Why this role is different)Early stage, high impactCode ownership and authorityGrowth pathsCollaborative environmentWhat does a culture fit look likeWho Thrives HereThis team isn’t for everyone. The people who do well here tend to recognize themselves in a few of these:You take ownership without waiting to be told what to doYou care about the quality of your work, even when no one is watchingYou can give and receive direct, honest and constructive feedbackYou like being close to the work, not managing from a distanceYou move quickly and make decisions without perfect informationYou’re always learning, but don’t get stuck in theoryYou show up for the team, but your identity isn’t defined by your jobYou may find this environment challenging if you prefer a lot of structure, consensus-driven decisions, or clearly defined lanes.Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & BelongingMakeOS is an equal opportunity employer and we’re committed to diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

You can read our Code of Conduct.The MakeOS Principles At the core we are here to make production easier.1. Relentless FocusWe prioritize the few things that matter most.Focus allows us to move faster, build deeper, and deliver meaningful progress rather than spreading effort across competing priorities.2. Product-Level CraftGreat technology is built through disciplined attention to detail.From architecture to interface, we pursue a standard of craft that makes the product reliable, intuitive, and built to last.3. End-to-End OwnershipThe best products emerge when the people building them take full responsibility for the outcome.Teams own problems from concept through execution, ensuring alignment between design, engineering, and delivery.4. Confidential by DefaultTrust is built through disciplined stewardship of information.We operate with confidentiality around our product, roadmap, and partners so teams can move quickly and customers can trust our systems.5. User Experience Drives EverythingTechnology exists to serve the user.We design and build with the real workflows, pressures, and decisions of our users in mind, ensuring the product solves meaningful problems in the real world.
