About the Role:
We are looking for senior frontend engineers passionate about frontend technology and excellent user experience. The ideal candidate has helped lead the technical design and implementation of frontend features on at least one sizable production application within the past year. A senior frontend engineer at Perpay will spend their time writing code, reviewing PRs, mentoring engineers, and helping scope & design new features. We are looking for people who can bring frontend technical expertise to push our technology forward — whether it's hosting a lunch-and-learn on a new frontend technology or directing a large refactor. We value engineers who demonstrate excitement around solving tough problems and delivering solutions in a fast-paced environment.
Much of our team is fullstack, so we look for team members excited to learn new technologies and work across all stacks, even if it's not something you've done before! Our tech stack: Javascript, React, React Native, Redux, Python, Django, Flask, Kubernetes, AWS, Docker and more.
Our greatest strength is our people and we'd love for you to be one of them!
Responsibilities:
- Collaborate closely and communicate with other members of the development team, including UX designers, product managers, and other engineers, to ensure that the frontend meets the needs of the business and provides an excellent user experience
- Ensure our application is responsive and accessible across different devices and platforms
- Write clean, efficient, and maintainable code
- Contribute to the engineering design process by bringing forward tradeoffs and opinions on how to weigh them
- Leverage continued research around the changing frontend landscape to bring best practices and innovation to our code, developer experience, and user experience
What You'll Bring:
- 5+ years of experience experience, delivering commercial products to market
- Significant experience with React and the React ecosystem and unidirectional data flow patterns, preferably Redux
- Strong knowledge of JavaScript, including the latest ECMAScript standards
- Understanding of RESTful APIs
- Experience with optimizing web applications for performance and accessibility
- Product focus and a passion for UX/UI design or familiarity with UX/UI principles
- Strong curiosity about industry trends
- Ability to pick up new technologies quickly, with software engineering best practices prioritized over familiarity with specific tools or languages
- History of cross-functional collaboration on mission-critical projects
- Experience with React Native is nice to have
- Experience with AWS, Docker, and Kubernetes is nice to have
Hey, we know not everybody checks all the boxes, so if you're interested, please apply because you could be just what we're looking for!
What We'll Bring:
- Competitive salary + company equity
- 401k with company match
- Medical / Dental / Vision insurance
- Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
