Job Description

We are seeking a Principal Front End Engineer to help build out our new web apps (Vue.js) and refactor some of our current generation stack in use (.NET).

You will start by learning from the experiences of our current team and our current offerings and become intimately familiar with our Vue.js and C#.Net codebase. As you improve in your understanding of our business logic, you will contribute your React/Angular/Vue.js experiences by helping architect and add more features to our existing SPA that is still in the early phase of development. You will leverage your experience to establish best practices for web development and drive the team and the codebase to a higher level.

The ideal candidate will look not only to help lead, collaborate, and develop their career, but also be hungry to assist others in the development of their own careers as well. You'll have the chance to set the tone of the platform you'll be working on.

• You will work with the Lead, QA and DevOps team to better understand our product offering (C#.NET) and new web offering (Vue.js)
• Working with the Lead, you will help create a loosely defined front end technical roadmap that takes scalability, testing and performance into account and present a gap analysis of what potentially can be done better based on our current solution
• You will aid in creating an efficient and effective SDLC process
• You will be responsible for taking on development items to get your hands in the current Web stack (25% of your time)

60 Days:

• You will start to solidify having a "partner-in-crime" with the current Lead
• You will create and help work on a backlog of technical infrastructure work that was identified in the first 30 days
• While the product owner is getting up to speed, you will co-create a backlog of work to be tackled in order to systematically add new features from which the entire team can pull work items from

90 Days:

• You will play an integral part in our first major MVP release for the web application (Q1 2020)
• You will help instill the discipline of effectively monitoring and creating work items from production issues
• You will further our tech stack by continuing to evolve the technical roadmap and future deliveries
• You will help recruit 2 additional team members to the front-end development team
