Varsity News Network is looking for an experienced Frontend Engineer. A person who knows software inside and out and can make insightful, every-day decisions to ensure delightful user experience.

VNN enables athletic departments to leverage social technologies to promote their sports teams, in doing so crafting a unique and memorable experience for athletes. This person will be comfortable joining a small team leading that charge, based on a keen understanding of VNN’s business goals and strategy.

We favor people who have a passion for sports, and can bring that background and insight into their daily development decisions. We favor those who thrive on the pace of a start-up, while valuing the processes and systems of a more mature company, provided that they’re implemented at the appropriate time.

While you’ll be responsible to work with a small team to lead development efforts and ensure the successful execution of our technology strategy, you shouldn’t view yourself as a simple “developer” or ‘engineer’. Your success will also result from cultivating an ongoing relationship with users, and leveraging those unique insights to craft their ideal experience.

Strong preference will be given to applicants that can work in our HQ located in Grand Rapids, MI.
