What You'll Do:
Develop and Polish Frontend Applications: Write clean, efficient code primarily for our frontend using React, focusing on crafting dynamic, complex components with user-friendly APIs. While you'll occasionally dive into backend code, your main stage will be the frontend, where you'll enhance the usability and functionality of our digital marketing tools.
Integrate AI and Language Models into Interfaces: Take on the challenge of merging AI and machine learning with our user interfaces. You'll be responsible for pioneering new UI/UX patterns that leverage the power of recent advancements in language models. Your work will focus on transforming complex technologies into simple, intuitive user experiences, enriching our digital marketing tools with engaging and novel interactions.
Shape the User Experience: Play a pivotal role in the initial stages of project planning, using your expertise in frontend design and architecture to guide discussions. You'll work directly with users and designers to prototype interfaces that are not just functional but exceptionally intuitive and enjoyable to use.
Test and Refine: Ensure the quality and reliability of our applications through comprehensive unit, integration, and end-to-end (E2E) testing. Your commitment to testing at every stage of development will contribute to the seamless performance of our platforms.
Collaborative Design and API Development: Engage in collaborative efforts across teams to refine and extend our applications' capabilities. Your strong experience in working with and designing APIs will be crucial in creating seamless interactions between our frontend and backend systems.
Beyond Coding: In addition to your technical contributions, you'll be involved in cross-team collaborations, participate in quality assurance and testing activities, engage with user-experience studies, and create detailed documentation. Taking full ownership of your work means ensuring your code not only functions, but also fits seamlessly into the user's hands and is cleanly factored so that it can stand the test of time.
