We're looking for a JavaScript Application Engineer to help us build out our SaaS Learning Business Platform. Your day to day would be split between improving existing functionality, building &shipping new functionality &integrations, and improving the platform as a whole, such as introducing bundle splitting, working on performance, and upgrading our dependencies.

You would be a good fit if:

  • You are excited about new JavaScript technologies like Prettier and GraphQL, but also comfortable mixing them with older technology.
  • You sweat the small stuff, but know when to ship it.
  • You are passionate about listening to users &building elegant web products.
  • You are comfortable navigating a large existing codebase and learning new technologies and techniques along the way.
  • You have 2+ years of experience working in a team production environment shipping code.

We are looking to add multiple team members across frontend and backend roles, so we are open to your experience across the stack.

Our stack consists primarily of Node.js with Koa, GraphQL, and Ember.js. Although we are an Ember shop, we are open to any framework experience you might have as the concepts will likely be familiar.

Throughout the day, we rely on Slack and GitHub pull requests. The development team is completely distributed across the US, and has been since the inception of Thought Industries — we haven't bolted on remote processes due to COVID-19, we've always done it this way, so you'll feel right at home.
