About the Role

As a Senior Frontend Engineer on one of our Core Experience Teams, you will play a crucial role in our engineering efforts behind critical product areas such as booking, scheduling, and payments. This position involves significant contributions to our user-facing web and mobile applications, built with React.js and React Native, while also participating in the development of our backend services built using Kotlin. You'll work within a collaborative team to deliver high-impact solutions that directly contribute to our product's success and user satisfaction.

What You’ll Do

  • Design, develop, and maintain high-quality user-facing applications using React.js and/or React Native.
  • Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and other engineers to translate requirements into technical specifications and deliver effective solutions.
  • Actively participate in code reviews, ensuring code quality, performance, and maintainability.
  • Troubleshoot and debug issues across our frontend and backend systems.
  • Help define and uphold engineering standards, best practices, and documentation.
  • Proactively identify and address technical debt and areas for improvement within the codebase.
  • Contribute to the continuous integration and deployment pipelines for web and mobile.

What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years of software engineering experience with a strong focus on frontend development.
  • Proven expertise with React and/or React Native for building robust applications.
  • Experience with backend development preferred, including API design and implementation.
  • Experience working in a collaborative environment involving different functions, stakeholders, and subject matter experts.
  • A desire to work in a fast-paced environment, a bias for action, a passion for self-improvement, and helping to elevate and mentor those around you.
  • Comfortable picking up new technologies (our team builds on Ruby, React, Kotlin, and React Native, and our stack will continue to evolve.)

What We Work With

We are open to candidates who have worked in different languages but are open to learn.

  • Mobile: React-native
  • Web: Typescript / Javascript (React.js, Redux)
  • Backend: Kotlin (micronaut, jooq), Ruby (Rails, Sidekiq), GRPC, Protobuf, and Postgres

Benefits & Perks

  • Flexible PTO
  • Competitive health & dental insurance options, with premiums covered by GG
  • Generous, fully-paid parental leave policy
  • Retirement Savings Plan
  • Professional Development - employees receive a yearly stipend for approved learning and educational-related expenses
  • Home office support
  • Team Bonding opportunities - as a distributed team, being able to build meaningful bonds both virtually and in person is incredibly important to us! We are constantly evaluating how we accomplish this and currently, teams are given opportunities to gather in person throughout the year.

At GlossGenius, we celebrate our differences and are committed to creating a workplace where all employees feel supported and empowered to do their best work. We believe this benefits not only our employees but our product, customers, and community as well. GlossGenius is proud to be an Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action Employer.
