Role
Who you are
- Your focus on user-facing experiences, and ability to collaborate with engineers, PMs and designers, are your superpower
- You have experience with React/CSS/HTML/TypeScript, and can rapidly convert design mocks into functional code
- You build delightful, pixel-perfect user experiences which are snappy, and sweat the details on performance
- You build maintainable, well-componentized code that other engineers can work with
- Outside of this, you also identify and participate in important company-building initiatives that a fast growing startup needs
- Have 2+ years of experience
- You operate independently, but don’t hesitate to seek help and support from those around you to get your job done
- Revel in your craft, are excited by and capable of owning large projects primarily in the front-end domain
- Collaborate effectively with other experienced engineers, designers and PMs
- Are capable of making high quality technical and non-technical tradeoffs
- Prefer well supported, stable technologies over trendy/fashionable tech, even in the fast-moving world of front-end frameworks
- You sweat the details on matching designed product specs, and think of performance, componentization, and testability as core requirements of building a great front-end experience for customers
- Bring your authentic self to work, and engage in candid + respectful feedback
- Build sustainably, and are capable of managing your time and priorities as best suits your needs
- Enjoy the journey as much as the destination, but never lose sight of the destination
- Demonstrate pride, ownership, and accountability for your work, and expect the same from those you work with
What the job involves
- We choose tools that help solve the problem at hand efficiently. For our current set of problems, we prefer to primarily use TypeScript with Node.js
- We use TypeGraphQL for our API endpoints, Apollo/Express as our web server, and Postgres (hosted on RDS) as our database
- We use React for front-end, and AWS for our infrastructure needs

Its innovative approach to connecting organizations with their community, along with successful funding rounds, suggests a promising future in this evolving landscape.
