Job Description

About the Role At Abstract, we develop web applications that help teams design with confidence by providing a version control system and collaboration platform focused on design artifacts. We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Front-end team. Expertise in JavaScript, CSS, React, and Redux is a requirement. Familiarity with other modern JavaScript UI libraries (Vue, Angular, Ember) is beneficial as well.   What You'll Do: Collaborate with fellow engineers and designers to build customer-facing features in  JavaScript, CSS, React, and Redux. Diagnose and address performance issues prior to releasing the finished product. Participate in code reviews and give useful feedback to peers. Triage and fix bugs, often working directly with our customers. Contribute to server-side APIs — through code, peer review, or both — that are needed to ship features. Work closely with the Platform team to ensure any blockers are addressed quickly and thoroughly. Assist the QA team with automation tests. Lead other engineers on projects. Mentor less experienced engineers and help them grow in confidence and capability. Communicate proactively with team members and stakeholders about the progress of work. Participate in standups, backlog grooming, demos, and retrospectives. Work closely with the support team to triage bugs and respond to emergent work.    What You'll Bring Remote work experience. Excellent writing skills. A passion for life-long learning and a commitment to sharing what you know with others. Experience building products and UI using modern web technologies. A product mindset and a willingness to ask questions to improve the product, not only in its technical implementation but also in how well it’s serving our customers’ needs. The ability to make things happen even when the path is not well defined. Ability to clearly discuss and explain complex technical topics to peers, junior engineers, and non-technical audiences. Commitment to improvement and an understanding of technical trade-offs. Respectful collaboration across teams. Willingness to both listen to others and to be heard. Enthusiasm for jumping in to diagnose and fix the core issues when things inevitably break.   Bonus points if you have: Experience working with Flow or Typescript. Experience with server-side languages, especially Ruby on Rails.  In-depth understanding of Git internals. Worked on small teams and are comfortable wearing multiple hats. Experience working in an agile environment. Mentorship experience.   Benefits/Perks To help employees plan for the future, we're able to offer competitive pay and a 401(k).
