About the role:

We're looking for a Senior Front End Engineer to join our team and help us continue to be the leading destination to find & showcase creative work for the world's best design professionals.

• Rails views

As a Senior Engineer, you've been coding for years and have the skill and wisdom to contribute to a small team of developers. You'll be responsible for helping maintain a web application that supports millions of visitors each month and has wide visibility in the web industry. Product ownership, feature development, working with design teams to bridge the gap between design and technical implementation, and taking an active role in defining how an application looks and works should all be things you excel at. You should be able work independently (though we collaborate continuously) and thrive on identifying, as well as solving, problems. We like to think we're always helping each other improve, so we want someone who loves being part of a team.


Requirements:

• Worked remote or want to give it a shot.
• Ownership: the Dribbble community will depend on you to deliver a quality experience. You feel responsible for creating an excellent, end-to-end platform that supports the needs of our users.
• Comfort with data: you know when you don't know enough to make a design decision, and you seek out answers.
• An interest in exploration: you think about what to build now and what to build in the future.
• A solid perspective on how users engage with online communities. Made useful prototypes and wireframes (send us samples!) and experience working with style guides.

Our tech stack:

• Vanilla JS focussed with some old jQuery still hanging around
• Vue.js
• JS testing with teaspoon/chai/jasmine/sinon
• Ruby on Rails
• Sass
• PostgreSQL
• Memcached
• Redis
• Elasticsearch
• AWS/S3/Fastly

How we roll:

• Our teams are cross-functional with a dedicated PM leading two-week sprints.
• We point our stories as a team before each Agile sprint.
• Most of our team communication happens through:
• Slack
• GitHub issues and pull requests
• Weekly video team meetings & brief standups
• Semi-Annual in-person company gatherings and occasional travel to software conferences and/or Dribbble meetups

We encourage you to apply if you have any combination of the listed skills and this sounds like a job you'll love.
