The minimum qualifications for this role include:

• 5+ years of experience with planning, building, and releasing frontend applications with web technologies (Javascript, HTML, and CSS)
• Experience building web applications with TypeScript

Preferred qualifications for this role include:

• Experience building web applications with Angular, RxJS and/or similar web technologies.

How you’ll grow

Within 1 month, you’ll plant your roots, including:

• Deliver business value by shipping your first code change with active pairing/mentoring from your teammates.
• Learn how code is deployed to our end users through collaboration with front end developers on your team.
• Have a firm understanding of the team’s roadmap and the team’s Agile processes by having discussions with your team’s manager.

Within 3 months, you’ll start hitting your stride by:

• Independently own and deliver the front end part of small to medium features without peer consultation
• Adhere to the team’s engineering best practices, such as testing expectations, shared patterns, and documentation.
• Openly communicate with all disciplines of the team, including back-end engineers, QA, product design and product managers, in order to move the team’s work forward.
• Contribute to team processes by participating in team activities, such as code review, estimation, technical specification planning, collaboration in requirements definition, and contribution of feedback during retrospectives.

Within 6 months, you’ll be making a clear impact through:

• Author a technical specification plan for a roadmap project and collaborate with teammates to create an agreed upon delivery plan.

• Demonstrate end-to-end responsibility for delivering roadmap projects on time, from technical planning to performing/guiding implementation to testing to final delivery.
• Balance the continuum of trade-offs during code design, knowing that solutions can favor faster delivery with less strict technical requirements or solutions can favor future technical maintainability with delayed delivery of customer value.
• Identify a technical initiative (e.g. technical debt, introduction of a new system, need for a new JavaScript dependency, performance improvement, etc) for your team.

We’re proud to regularly be recognized for our team, product and culture. Our benefits program includes:
