Manifold builds innovative, beautiful, functional tools for SaaS vendors to sell their services. See our plan builder preview to get a hint of our future.
We are looking for a senior or lead collaborative front-end developer to help us imagine, ship, and operate high quality products. We're hoping that you can understand a product vision and business, and then use that understanding both to architect for the future and to find the right shortcuts for now. We hope that you care deeply about usability and design, and have worked closely and collaboratively with designers and product managers. We expect you to lead and follow, disagree and commit, innovate and consolidate...and write readable, tested, reliable code.
Our software development team is fun-loving, knowledgeable, and extremely productive. We're organized to let you explore and grow a variety of skills and capabilities, with many chances to create a significant impact. Many of us have strong ties to the open-source world, and have experience building tools at companies like Heroku, Red Hat, and Canonical.
We value diversity and a strong distributed culture that balances alignment, autonomy, and growth. Most of the company works from home, with about half in the Halifax, Canada area, and the rest located across Canada and the US.
