Role
Who you are
- You’ve been building web applications for a while now and are comfortable ramping up on an existing product quickly
- You’ve mastered at least one frontend framework, and know how to build highly reliable, modular systems that many people can collaborate on at the same time without stepping on each other’s toes
- You have a strong sense for good design, and won’t stop until the user experience is just right
- You will be working primarily in JavaScript/TypeScript and prior experience is preferred
- You’ll be a part of a team developing frontend web apps for Justworks’ 10+ CSO and Ops teams

- Stitch together microservices in our Node.js/Fastify Backend For Frontend (BFF) and handle Authorization
- Migrate legacy tools from a smattering of old sites into one, unified experience
- Build end-to-end workflows for our internal teams replacing piecemeal Google docs/slack/email workarounds unlocking efficiencies and increasing margins

- Resourcefulness - taking a can-do approach, even in the face of obstacles and constraints by assessing what’s in front of you and effectively and efficiently optimizing what you have, whether it's working on something new or thinking about how to do something better
- Teamwork and communication - putting our collective best together through documentation, collaboration, relationship-building, listening, empathy, recruiting, and evangelism
- Influence and leadership - fostering a community of knowledge-sharing, collaboration, mentorship, and forward-thinking
- Skills and knowledge - the capacity to actively learn and apply specific domain knowledge, know-how, and best practices to continually enhance and improve
- Minimum of 2+ year experience in Frontend development
- Mastery of JS/HTML/CSS and at least one framework such as React, Vue, etc

Our take
Justworks operates in an increasingly crowded space of all-in-one business operation suites, that include tools like human resources, payroll, employee management, benefits, and others that businesses critically need to operate as they scale.
Globally, human resource management has become an extremely fertile field, worth over $20 billion annually and predicted to grow to over $50 billion annually by 2030 - creating great opportunity for Justworks to continue to grow. The company is regarded as a market leader, but does see competition in the shape of Paychex Flex, Rippling, Paylocity, and TriNet, among others.
Solutions delivered by Justworks have proven to be extremely popular with SMEs, and this has not gone unnoticed by investors, with the company picking up exceptional amounts of funding. Justworks is known to have sights on going public, though action towards this end has been delayed until global mass-market conditions have settled from a period of volatility.
