Job Description
We’re looking for a Front-End Engineer to take the lead on improving the appearance and interactivity of our application. This opportunity is exciting because our Senior Front-End Engineer will take ownership of how we build and structure our front-end. They will be the primary for all things front-end so there will be a great deal of ownership. For this reason, we want someone who aspires to become a front-end technologist and therefore understands what they know and what they don’t know. In turn, we offer endless opportunities for learning, giving our Senior Front-End Engineer direct access to key stakeholders, total ownership of the front-end, and the resources they need to deliver a successful product.
What will you be doing?
- Translating design concepts into functional and sustainable code
- Implementing testable and scalable code
- Designing/Redesigning front-end part of our application based expertise
- Helping product management on UX problems and technical specifications
- Participating in architecture discussions, educating team members on best approaches for the front-end
These are the problems you’ll be solving:
- How to limit/eliminate client-side performance issues?
- How to optimize the tooling from development to distribution?
- How to create great interactive design?
Qualifications
Sounds interesting? Here’s what we hope you’ll bring:
- A few years of hands on experience with production web applications
- Experience with HTML & CSS , JavaScript (React & Redux) and integrating with REST APIs
- Frontend development skills including modern responsive layouts
- Understanding of cross-browser compatibility issues and ways to work around them
- Solid written and verbal communication skills—we mainly speak English in the office!
Ideally, you also tick some of these boxes:
