Full Stack Product Engineer, zeroheight

• You love creating beautiful UIs with precision and attention to detail; you understand how important design is to a successful product
• You're curious to learn about the design process and design systems
• You relish the excitement of a startup – you have a proactive attitude and a strong desire to succeed in an environment where you'll need to be efficient and adaptable to change
• You're looking for somewhere to grow – you want to get stuck in and have a real impact in the company's future. You're flexible and not afraid of taking on more responsibility as we grow
• 3 years or more working as a software engineer
• Experience with JavaScript and React
• Some experience with backend

Desirable

• We're looking for full stack engineers to build beautiful & functional products from start-to-finish
• We’re flexible about when you work and believe in experimentation – whether that’s with how we build things or how our teams work
• We're still small (14 product engineers, 50 people total) so you'd be working on building all types of features teaming up with a designer and product manager
• You'll have start-to-finish ownership of the features – this brings accountability but also an awesome sense of pride when users love your work
• You'll be involved in planning scope to ensure we deliver value to our users quickly
• Here are some examples of recent features to give a taste of what you could be working on:
• New ways of storing, managing and exporting design tokens, aligned to the W3C spec
• Integrating zeroheight with communication platforms like Slack and Microsoft Teams
• Adding theming capabilities to our platform so users can better document things like dark and light modes
• You'll also be included in some things that are outside the traditional "software engineering" domain
• Things like helping with support queries, planning the product roadmap, project management for your features and contributing to wider company processes
• There’ll also be plenty of opportunities to share your work, new technologies you’ve been exploring and things you’ve learnt with the team
• Joining now is great if you want to broaden your skills or you'd like to create your own startup at some point
• A focus on QA and UX – we take UX quality seriously and make sure everything is excellent before we ship. This also means we have to be careful about scope-creep to ensure we have time to polish
• Ownership – you'll own a feature from start-to-finish. This means you have the freedom to choose how to build it and you're responsible for the implementation and release
• Everyone plans – we try to get everyone involved in planning and scoping features to prevent a top-down approach where engineers are just pumping out feature specs
• Document all the things – we use Notion for our process documentation and try to keep communication on Slack as open as possible
• 10% time – we set aside a day every 2 weeks to work on whatever you like
• We use React to build any new UI components, paired with Storybook to work on them in isolation. We then integrate them into the main product. Some of our older codebase is written in Marionette (Backbone.js) and we're working on a smooth transition (instead of a massive rewrite)
• On the backend, our main server is in Rails (Ruby). We host our database and cloud infrastructure on AWS and use serverless functions (AWS Lambda) for a few things
• One word of warning – if you're super passionate about a particular tech, our startup might not be the right place for you. We're focused on getting things done and shipping an amazing product; we'll use whatever tech helps us get there

• Submit your CV
• Hello (30m, video call)
• Coding (1h15m, video screen share)
• Product engineering exercise (1h, video screen share)
• Meet with the founders (1h, video call)
• We make a decision quickly and let you know
• We know that you might not have all that much spare time, so only the product engineering exercise and the coding session need any preparation, and not more than half an hour on each. We try to be flexible with scheduling these too so you can fit them around things

High-quality UX for websites and apps is no longer a nice-to-have, it’s a must-have if a company is to succeed. However scaling the impact of UX teams is not simple, and in recent years teams have turned to DesignOps platforms to help them.
