Lead Front-End Engineer, Headless Platforms
Headless architectures rely strongly on front-end development experts to produce first class user experiences. This requires more than simple HTML and styling, but rather a front-end architecture complete with asynchronous content loading, state tracking, and advanced UI interactions, all while maintaining the highest levels of accessibility to serve all users. We're seeking candidates with expertise creating these systems and a passion for enabling teammates to help build and support.
As the Lead Front-End Engineer, you are part soldier, part officer. You have the ability to take the initiative and make things happen with limited instruction. You are able to manage up, down and sideways effectively in order to harness and synergize the best of Bounteous to deliver maximum impact to our clients. You are also able to roll up your sleeves and work alongside developers and code as necessary.
