• Work with 3rd party applications and vendors
• Help maintain code quality, organization, and automation.
• Work closely with QA, Product, Marketing, and Design team members to iteratively improve upon key aspects of our business

Skills:

• Good understanding of the syntax of ES6, Node, and React along with their nuances
• Solid understanding of Styled Components
• Familiarity with concepts of MVC, Mocking, ORM, and RESTful
• Strong background in working with APIs both as the client and the service
• Experience with popular front end web application frameworks
• A knack for writing clean, readable code
• Experience with both external and embedded databases (Postgres, Redis, etc)
• Understanding of fundamental design principles behind a scalable application
• Implementation of automated testing platforms and unit tests
• Proficient understanding of code versioning tools (ex. Git, Mercurial or SVN)
• Familiarity with continuous integration
• Ability to thrive in a highly collaborative, remote team environment (we spend a lot of time on Google Meet/Hangouts and Slack screen sharing)
• Bonus points: Experience with GraphQL, NGINX, Heroku, and Algolia

We are a largely remote team that also leaves the door open at our beautiful space in the Seaport District, should you be looking for a change in workplace scenery.

Hard work and a love for your craft are paired with:

• Competitive compensation
• Excellent work-life balance
• Strong mostly-remote engineering team with lots of experience and tenure at ATK
• An open mind towards new and emerging technologies
• A lot of free cookbooks
