Our front-end engineers operate at the intersection of design thinking, product management and data-driven development, and are trusted to deliver features that make working together on data more straight-forward, productive, and enjoyable.

In this position, you will work with the designers, product owners and other engineers to craft best-in-class user experiences that help cross-functional teams work together on data projects, derive meaningful insights, and make data-informed decisions.

At data.world, you will:

• Design and craft high-quality, well-tested and reusable code.
• Work iteratively and collaboratively with designers, product owners, and other engineering team members on production-ready features.
• Work in a dynamic, agile, and data-driven environment and have true ownership of the features you work on, from requirements gathering to A/B test definition.
• Contribute to the health and stability of our products through monitoring, instrumentation and maintenance of the day-to-day front-end operational aspects of the platform.
• Make data-driven decisions about what to build and how to build it based on real-world user testing.
• Write a lot of cutting edge Javascript.

  • 3+ years experience as an engineer. You have experience shipping web-based products. You've worked with designers and product owners to develop and deliver workflows and libraries.
  • All your bases covered. This includes proficiency with modern Javascript frameworks.You've maintained code in the cloud and have opinions about best practices.
  • Strong written, verbal, and visual communication skills. You should be able to articulate your decisions, whiteboard new solutions, present ideas concisely to product leadership, and defend your ideas.
  • An appetite to try new things. You're curious and excited to improve your process, and always looking to learn. You ask questions and don't shy away from challenges.
  • Just enough knowledge about operations and back-end development to be dangerous. You are familiar with modern service-oriented architecture and are comfortable diving into logs.
