About this Role

So, what will you do as a Senior Web Frontend Developer?

• Work with our designer to implement high fidelity responsive user interfaces, wrangle state and communicate with multiple backend APIs.
• Estimate engineering effort, plan implementation, and roll out applications with cross-functional impact.
• Own continuous improvement and fine tuning of frontend performance, responsiveness and user experience.
• Independently design, code, and test major features, as well as work jointly with other team members to deliver complex changes and make designs come to life.

This might be for you if you have...

• A strong web development background with an understanding of key technologies, frameworks and build toolchains.
• Five or more years of web frontend experience with modern web development technologies: Javascript, Typescript, React, Webpack. Full stack experience also a plus. We realize these technologies have evolved significantly over the years and bear little resemblance to their state five years in the past, but we seek those with a large base of general experience in cutting edge web tech, which is useful for adapting to the ever-changing landscape of web development technologies, frameworks, tooling and best practices.
• Experience with React and Typescript specifically. Rainway is a React+Typescript oriented development shop, so experience with those technologies in particular is highly valued, especially modern React paradigms like hooks and familiarity with the latest Typescript features. We're willing to compromise on language experience however, so if you've got lots of experience working in a traditional Javascript environment and are looking for something new, we can help you transition to Typescript.
• A willingness and ability to learn and grow your skillset to effectively utilize new technologies, features, and paradigms as they evolve.
• Proven ability to define and implement effective software development methodologies.
• Experience in development of large-scale consumer facing single page apps involving tiered accounts with organization relationships and payment processing is highly sought.
