What You Will Do

• Take ownership over our front-end ecosystem; delivering a first-class user experience that is mobile-optimized and focused on accessibility. As the Front-End Engineer joining our team, you will lead all new major efforts for our product. These will include changes to our existing website, kiosk, and a major overhaul of our mobile experience for users. With an ownership mentality, you think about our technical direction and technical stack and how they impact our work and what improvements need to be made. You help define and shape what success looks like for yourself and junior team members and set-up key metrics to measure that success.
• Collaborate with our product team to make significant improvements to the application; you will work closely with our product team to help inform and scope our larger features that filter down to the development team. With a strong understanding of our product and guests, you will find opportunities to simplify and streamline work. We encourage you to question assumptions and requirements and ensure that deadlines and deliverables are being met. You view the product and work with a wide lens as you make recommendations with a deep understanding of how they affect all aspects of our product.
• Focus on continuous improvement and maintenance; in addition to coordinating releases, leading testing, and automation for your builds, you will help others with code reviews and testing of their work. As our Front End Engineer, you will also own the maintenance and improvement of our products.
