Are you an expert at React, Redux, Webpack, browser APIs, ES8, and the rest of today’s modern frontend stack? Do you want to work on a web application used by hundreds of thousands of users?

If so, we’d like you to learn about Files.com!

• At Files.com, we’ve invested heavily in the React/Redux platform and are looking to expand our growing team of frontend developers. As a frontend developer at Files.com, you will work on all of our client-facing web applications that are primarily written in Javascript targeting a web browser.

• Additionally, you will get the opportunity to work on mobile apps using React Native as well.

• Our frontend developers are responsible for all client-side code that runs in browsers and mobile apps here at Files.com. We use state-of-the-art tooling, such as React 16, Redux, Redux-Saga, and React Native on the mobile side.

• We obsess about testing, code reviews, and keeping production code size low.

• Files.com currently has many features that are available in its API that are not available in its frontend UIs, so a considerable part of this job will be building out new features and releasing them to customers as soon as they’re ready.

• Here are some example projects that our Frontend Developers have worked on recently or will work on soon:

• Rebuilding our internal CRM dashboard in React.

• Building a browser-based file uploader that works in all browsers, supports resume, and is able to automatically detect the closest server for uploading.

• Building notification panes that show “push notifications” to our users about updates to their files or workflows.

• Enhancing our security by adding several new Two-Factor Authentication methods, such as U2F, SMS, and Yubikey.

• 5+ years of applicable experience.

• Experience building and delivering React/Redux applications that have seen actual production usage.

• Understanding of the language features of ES6 and ES8.

• Understanding of common browser APIs and recent extensions to the HTTP protocol as they relate to frontend development.

• Understanding of how to write secure frontend code and an awareness of common web application security vulnerabilities.

• Testing and the ability to write unit tests/specs (we use popular JavaScript testing frameworks)

Experience with at least one major Redux side effect library such as Redux-Thunk, Redux-Saga, Redux-Loop (We use Redux-Saga).

Contributions to major open source projects.
