Who are you?

Moonrise is seeking a Senior Front End Engineer. In this role, you will be developing new features and maintaining functionality of our core product. You are a self-driven engineer that embraces the power JavaScript and CSS provide in developing beautiful and responsive web applications. Additionally, you empathize with your users and can apply basic product design principles to your work. You enjoy mentoring junior members of the team and working collaboratively across business units.

You are passionate about helping underserved Americans that are living paycheck to paycheck. You are not afraid to constructively call out when things are not working right. You push back in an effective way that does not limit the team's creativity and also offer elegant ways to solve the problem at hand. You enjoy working in a very ambiguous environment. You accept change and moving deadlines with ease and are okay jumping hurdles. Most of all, you love to help others!
