Principal Frontend Engineer

More than 9,000 organisations use our HR and payroll suite, from regional hospitals to school districts. Annual releases gave way to two-week sprints years ago, and the platform now handles over 200 million API calls a day. We started in 1996 and have grown to about 71,100 people.

Role overview

We are adding headcount to this team, so this is a new seat. Part of this job is rebuilding an older AngularJS front end in React. Some of that work is unglamorous migration, and we won't pretend otherwise. The company is based in Seoul, South Korea. The team is spread across multiple countries. Employment is through our payroll partner in Türkiye. Salary is paid monthly in local currency. Hours are flexible, with one short team call each morning. Most communication happens in Slack, with short video calls when needed.

• Migrate legacy jQuery or AngularJS pages to the current stack.
• Pair with backend engineers on API contracts before work starts.
• Fix accessibility issues and test with VoiceOver and NVDA against WCAG 2.1 AA.

Qualifications
