As a Junior Front-End Web Engineer, you’ll join our growing Product team in shipping software that delivers an excellent experience to our 27+ million monthly readers on Apartment Therapy and The Kitchn.
This role requires a strong grasp of the fundamentals of the client-side web (JavaScript, CSS, and HTML). You should have some experience building non-trivial JavaScript clients using recent frameworks (e.g., React/Flux, Angular, Backbone) while also understanding the basics behind these abstractions (e.g. DOM events, variable scoping, AJAX lifecycles). Our ideal candidate has at least a year of experience shipping production code and is eager to continue growing with the support and mentorship of our Senior engineers.
We deliver most new front-end work with React and the Flux architecture. We’ll soon be exploring GraphQL and Relay to keep client and server state in-sync. Experience in these libraries is a plus, but not required. You may read more about our technical stack here.
Our team (and much of the company) works remotely. We all wear many hats and maintain a collaborative and supportive environment. You may work remotely or in our New York City office, however you must be able to work effectively with a remote team and coworkers. Excellent communication skills and self-direction are critical for success.
Additional ‘nice to haves’:
Experience working with a distributed team
Familiarity with Ruby/Rails
Experience in small team (startup/lean/agile) environments
Interest in home design, cooking and other lifestyle areas our publications cover
