Software Engineer Full Stack Front End at Common Room

Why we need you:

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.

You would enjoy being a member of our team if you:

• 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

Our current tech stack:

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.
