The Opportunity

Location- Gurugram

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer, Front End (with TypeScript) with 5 + years of experience to help us build the foundation of and deliver a new product line.

We’ll be leaning on your experience in building amazing user experience on the front-end .

The products we build have a direct impact on our user's happiness, success and satisfaction at work. Successful candidates will be working closely in a cross-functional team with other senior engineers, product managers and our UI/UX designers. They will be responsible for owning development projects from start to completion; this includes helping plan features, build services and deploy infrastructure.

The products we're building are all brand new so we have a modern tech stack implementing lots of best practices. Our apps are React Micro Front-Ends (MFE) with a multitude of backend services in Node.JS all deployed through GitOps. We're fans of infrastructure-as-code, automating toil and spending time refactoring if we need to.

Your Job Responsibilities

What you will be doing:

• Work in a talented cross-functional team to develop new user-facing features using TypeScript on the frontend (React)
• Contribute to our shared UI library used by many engineering teams across the whole company.
• Write automated unit tests and end-to-end tests for your code and services. Quality is incredibly important to us and everybody is responsible for it.
• Participate in agile ceremonies; regularly and sustainably delivering value in two-week sprints.
• Help influence the overall architecture and direction of the codebase as well as the wider product.
• Help establish best practices, guidelines, and processes to allow the team focus on what they do best - building the application
• Mentor and guide other team members to help them grow in their career

Your Skillset

What makes you a great fit for the team:

• You like to deliver great user experience
• You are user focused – we solve our customer’s problems together; everybody has a say in planning, design & execution.
• 5+ years of overall experience.
• 4+ years of experience with React, you should have a solid understanding of how and why it uses a virtual DOM.
• Experience using modern modular CSS strategies e.g styled components, emotion, etc (we use CSS Modules) and why globally scoped styles are bad.
• You love identifying new technologies, patterns, and techniques and planning out how we can apply them to improve productivity, code quality and user experience
• Affinity for profiling and analyzing code to identify areas for improvement. You should have a high level understanding of how both React and browser internals work to ensure our frontend stays performant and doesn't leak memory.
• Good understanding of CI/CD, unit testing (with Jest), and automated end-to-end testing using a framework like Cypress.
• Strong knowledge and understanding of functional programming patterns.
• Excited by working in a fast-paced startup environment

We’d especially love to hear from you if:

• You have proven excellence in writing readable and efficient TypeScript code.
• You have a good track record of project leadership and mentorship of software engineers.
• You have experience working with micro-frontends in production.
• You are familiar with feature flag tools such as Harness
• You have worked with frameworks / libraries such as css-modules, Next.js
