Senior Front End Developer (Web Performance)

Who we are

Sellers use the platform to list used outdoor gear, and we handle payments, shipping labels and buyer protection. Two million people a month visit our recipe and meal planning site, which earns money from ads and a paid membership. Product reviews happen on Thursdays, with demos of whatever shipped that week.

The role

Looking for a Senior Front End Developer (Web Performance) who wants to stay somewhere for a while. Part of this job is rebuilding an older AngularJS front end in React.

• Migrate legacy jQuery or AngularJS pages to the current stack.
• Fix accessibility issues and test with VoiceOver and NVDA against WCAG 2.1 AA.
• Review frontend pull requests and keep coding conventions consistent.
• Set up and tune build tooling (Vite, webpack, ESLint, Prettier)
• Pair with backend engineers on API contracts before work starts.

Requirements

• 5+ years building production web applications.
• Able to explain frontend tradeoffs to designers and product managers.
