Senior Frontend Software Engineer

LinkSquares is hiring a Senior Frontend Software Engineer on our Front-End team to help design and implement performant, accessible, and easy-to-use components and user experiences.

About the position

You’ll work closely with the design and back-end teams to build solutions across all of our products that are both intuitive and reliable. Expertise in React, TypeScript, and modern CSS and pre-processors will be paramount in this role. You will maintain an Nx monorepo application and its IaC (infrastructure-as-code). You’ll be a champion of front-end standards including accessibility, internationalization, state management, drag & drop, responsiveness, and validation handling throughout the platform. You should have experience with component libraries, specifically using MUI as a base. You’ll create documentation to be used by all of Engineering to increase efficiency when building new products.

You’ll collaborate with back-end engineers to help design and integrate an API-first approach into seamless data flows and interactions. You’ll use frequent feedback loops between design, product, and back-end engineers to iterate over API contracts.

From a testing perspective, you should have a clear understanding of testing responsibilities and the differences between unit, integration, and end-to-end testing. You should be an advocate of shifting left and putting quality in the forefront. You’ll work closely with SDETs to continue to drive best testing practices throughout our applications.

As a Senior engineer, you’ll provide mentorship and guidance to your peers, educating them about front-end development best practices and career advancement through continuous learning and pairing opportunities. You’ll be able to delegate responsibly and provide growth opportunities for those around you. At LinkSquares we’re passionate about feedback. You should be open to constructive feedback and be willing to offer feedback with positive intent. 

Here are some real examples of the work we’ve done lately that could help you get a better understanding of what a front-end engineer’s job entails:

• Developed and shipped the entire front-end of our newest application, Prioritize
• Implemented a mock service worker for our Storybook instances
• Created a front-end app generator to easily spin up new Nx applications
• Stood up a node backend server to interact with the front-end applications
• Worked closely with UX to make considerable MUI theme changes for new UI initiatives
• Designed a form builder with basic validations rendered from a JSON object

About you

This position is special in the way that the majority of our Engineering force are Ruby generalists. With that in mind, front-end engineering is a specialty skill set at LinkSquares. We’re looking for an experienced candidate with a similar breadth and depth of work. We value virtuosity in the fundamentals and a considerable passion for front-end engineering. We value people who are comfortable asking questions and willing to challenge the status quo to innovate and push the boundaries of how we develop and ship software. We are looking for more than just a doer.

Maybe you have a CS degree. Maybe you don’t. What we care most about is what you can do and how you do it. It’s not about how you got here. What's more valuable is showcasing a strong track record of delivering aligned results in a thoughtful, collaborative way.

We strive to hire strong and diverse teams from different backgrounds and experiences. We are a company that wants to support you and your career for the long haul. Our workplace, benefits, and day-to-day expectations are designed to support a healthy work/life balance.
