  • Experience architecting and organizing highly performant frontend-heavy applications
  • You’re not afraid to ask for help, and you’re happy to give it, too
  • You care about the craft of engineering, and you’re dedicated to making sure your work is visually polished, highly performant, and user-friendly
  • You’re an enthusiastic communicator and you like working with a team that provides both mutual support and thoughtful critique

What the job involves

  • As a frontend focused Senior Software Engineer on our growing team, you’ll be technical leader as you design and build our drag-and-drop canvas, reinforce and evolve our technical foundation, and work with our unique stack to build a flow-based calculation engine
  • You’ll have the opportunity to architect key frontend features including an intuitive canvas for building user’s flows, a robust and customizable data-visualizations platform, and a highly performant surface for understanding current flow calculation state
  • You’ll be a key decision maker in how we structure our frontend as we scale our tool to be both highly performant and delightfully intuitive
  • Building a best in class drag-and-drop canvas for constructing data transformation “flows”
  • Architecting our frontend to be fast, intuitive, and delightful
  • Designing and expanding our Redux store, writing React code in a mature TypeScript codebase
  • Partnering with product managers and designers to define, plan, and build new product functionality from start to finish
  • Consulting with the Customer Experience team to solve unique customer problems and find out where our product should grow next
  • Collaborating with a small-but-mighty group of engineers with a wide array of backgrounds and areas of expertise
  • Implementing the logic behind the steps that make up Parabola flows
  • Helping our team define processes and practices that will serve us for years of growth and success

Our take

The Parabola platform aims to simplify the automation of regular tasks. Using a drag-and-drop interface, Parabola eliminates the need for programming knowledge and enables users to automate repetitive tasks within programmes such as Excel or Google Sheets and between software, for example, taking data from Salesforce to send targeted emails to a specific set of customers.

With the aid of an $8M financing round led by Matrix Partners, the company has created a Shopify connector, taking advantage of the upsurge in online shopping and opening up to a potentially huge market of e-commerce businesses.

There are several other successful businesses such as Integrify and RoboTask, each with similar offerings for task automation. Parabola differentiates itself from these competitors with the continued innovation around e-commerce, with the integration of the Shopify platform, a huge time saver for online retailers.
