Senior Engineer, Full Stack & Front End – HTML5, CSS3, ES6, DOM, JavaScript, React, Vue, Angular, Node.js, REST APIs, Web Services, TDD, CI, RDBMS, NoSQL Full Time

Our client for over a decade, a major technology consulting firm, is looking for a Senior Engineer, Full Stack & Front End, to develop web experiences, for a wide variety of well-known brands, that run the range from large scale ecommerce front ends to extraordinary data-driven visualizations.  You’ll take a lead-from-the-trenches approach to projects, mentoring junior developers, doing pull request reviews, and setting up front end tooling and Continuous Integration, all while coding some of the most complex stories yourself, and serving as a constant advocate for code quality and user experience.

Responsibilities:

• Code the most complex pieces of the application. Whether it’s a universal rendered progressive web app, dynamic visualization, a tricky 3rd party integration, or a crazy animation sequence, you’re up for the challenge, and you’ll take pride in the finished product.
• Test your code, and help ensure that the right code is being tested across your project. You also help make sure that integration tests are running, and that everyone on the team tests before they push code (either manually or as part of a pre-commit hook).
• Model the behavior and practices that you want to see in the organization. Want to follow TDD? Do it, and demonstrate the results to your team and clients. Itching to adopt a new tool or framework? Try it out and show the value.
• Estimate or point your own work, and be able to sanity check estimations from more junior developers to make sure that they’re setting themselves up for success.
• Share your learnings and experiences with your team, your local community, and our company globally through meetings and learning sessions, knowledge sharing webinars, and blog posts.

Requirements:

• Experience leading small teams and mentoring junior developers
• Excellent knowledge of hand-coded HTML5, CSS3, ES6, and the DOM
• Familiarity with concepts related to data flow and component driven architectures (with practical experience based on React, Vue, Angular, or the like)
• Experience developing applications across the full stack with a heavy dose of experience between Node and front end applications – using NextJS, Express or similar.
• Knowledge of JavaScript packages, package managers, bundlers, and their use in building and deploying complex interactive experiences
• Strong experience with API design and implementation
• Ability to debug complex performance and memory issues both in browser and in Node servers and the interplay between them
• Experience with RDBMS or NoSQL database concepts, implementations and strategies a plus.
• Understanding of SEO and accessibility issues and how they relate to development
• Awareness of TCP/IP networking considerations, ability to optimize applications for a variety of device capabilities and network conditions
• Understanding of scaling strategies within a cloud environment
• Solid understanding of browser rendering, and ability to fine-tune an experience
• Experience working with large branded websites, content management systems, ecommerce platforms is a plus
• Bachelor’s degree in computer science or interactive development is a plus
