Front-end Engineer
LogicGate is a venture-backed, Chicago-based SaaS startup that creates flexible and beautiful business process software. We are disrupting the Governance, Risk, and Compliance and Business Process Management software industries by providing a solution end users can self-manage, saving enterprises huge amounts of time and money. Our customers use LogicGate to visually design end-to-end workflows and create highly configurable process applications that place controls around mission-critical activities. Think of it as an “if this then that” for companies.
Who we’re looking for…
As a young company in a software space filled with clunky and dated interfaces; we see user experience and interface aesthetics as the foundation of our success. We’re looking for someone who can’t stand poor UX and wants to blow the minds of our customers with gorgeous pages and slick design. We want someone who doesn’t see “functional” as complete, but will strive to make new features beautiful.
Our ideal candidate is an opinionated leader who loves the challenge of designing something new and is bored with the regurgitation of existing constructs. It’s essential that team members are able to take ideas and run with them, relying on experience, creativity and the power of Google.
What you’ll do…
- Design and develop new user-facing features
- Ensure the technical feasibility of UI/UX designs
- Optimize front-end application for speed, reliability, and scalability
- Investigate and implement new technology to keep the stack current
- Write tests to facilitate an efficient dev cycle and a bug-free application
- Collaborate with a small team to birth new ideas
What we use…
- Work: Jira - Slack - Gitlab - GSuite
- CI/CD: Gitlab CI - Docker - AWS
- Front: Angular - SCSS - HTML - D3
- Back: Spring Boot - Java 8 - Kotlin - Neo4j - MySQL
Why you’ll like it…
You’ll help create best practices instead of just following along. You’ll have the freedom to explore new technologies and help make fundamental product decisions as the application and client base grows. Our culture is fast-paced and driven by a passionate team, but allows for the flexibility you’d expect from an early stage start-up.
As one of the team’s early hires you’ll have the option to take equity in an already well-funded Chicago startup. You’ll have a strong voice in a team of co-founders and engineers. This is a rare opportunity to play a key role in building a business, have a direct impact on the product, as a part of a collaborative and high-performing engineering team.
We’re nestled in the corner of river north on the first floor of 214 W Ohio Street. Our kitchen is typically well stocked with a variety of interesting La Croix flavors, snacks, and beers for impromptu happy hours.
We offer the following benefits:
- Healthcare (PPO and HMO)
