Front-End Engineer

Austin, TX
Full Time
Paid
  • Responsibilities

    Our FRONT END ENGINEERS operate at the intersection of design thinking, product management and data-driven development, and are trusted to deliver features that make working together on data more straight-forward, productive, and enjoyable for our clients.

    In this position, you will work with the designers, product owners and other engineers to craft and refine the  features that help cross-functional teams work together on data projects, derive meaningful insights, and make data-informed decisions.

    AT DATA.WORLD, YOU WILL:

    • Design and craft high-quality, well-tested and reusable code.
    • Work iteratively and collaboratively with designers, product owners, and other engineering team members on production-ready features
    • Work in a dynamic, agile, and data-driven environment and have true ownership of the features you work on, from requirements gathering to A/B test definition
    • Contribute to the health and stability of our products through monitoring, instrumentation and maintenance of the  day-to-day front-end operational aspects of the platform
    • Understand the data-driven decisions about what to build and how to build it based on real-world user testing
    • Write a lot of cutting edge Javascript/Typescript

    WE'D LOVE TO SEE:

    • 3+ years experience as an engineer
    • Experience shipping web-based products, working  with designers and product owners to develop and deliver workflows and libraries
    • All your bases covered - including proficiency with modern Javascript frameworks and experience  maintaining code in the cloud 
    • Strong written, verbal, and visual communication skills, with the ability to articulate your decisions, whiteboard new solutions, present ideas concisely to product leadership, and defend your ideas
    • An appetite to try new things - you're curious and excited to improve your process, and always looking to learn
    • Just enough knowledge about operations and back-end development to have familiarity with modern service-oriented architecture and are comfortable diving into logs
    • Just enough knowledge about design and UX to be dangerous. You're not a designer, but you might need a Sketch license to quickly mock up an idea. 
    • An understanding of best practices and ability to articulate what works with examples

    YOU'LL GET TO PLAY WITH:

    • Javascript and/or Typescript
    • React, Redux, MobX, Hapi
    • webpack, Jest, Cypress
    • Monaco, Draft.js
    • AWS (S3, Kinesis, DynamoDB, etc)
    • SQL
    • RDF & SPARQL
    • Java, Scala

    PERKS AND BENEFITS:

    • The usual suspects: market compensation with a generous bonus structure, health/dental/vision insurance
    • Not so usual suspects: education credits, charitable donation matching to the organization of your choice, and event ticket giveaways
    • Catered lunch daily, all the snacks, coffee, Yerba Mate, and beer you can handle
    • Regularly scheduled team events including game nights, rock climbing, and cocktail competitions
    • A flexible work environment with an understanding that employees are people with lives outside of the office
    • A tight-knit team of startup veterans with integrity, passion, and curiosity for days
