Frontend Software Engineer

Published on September 26, 2024

We believe that internal communication is the most vital part of a company’s culture, but scaling it is really difficult. We have seen this in organizations of all shapes and sizes, and are determined to fix it. After all, getting this right can have huge upsides, from boosting your bottom line to improving your employees’ well-being!

When we looked around, we found it incredibly difficult to find a truly dedicated and modern software solution for internal communications. There were a lot of tools that offered pieces of the puzzle (distribution lists here, simple analytics there), but nothing that was created to help communicators holistically deliver a better experience, strategy, and workflow. So we’ve spent the last three years building our own platform, with a focus on the one channel that’s always been at the center of every single comms strategy: email.

Today, we're proud to power employee communications at over 150+ of the best brands and most prestigious organizations in the world. And we're just getting started!

Welcome to Workshop!

Job Description
Workshop is looking for a driven frontend software engineer to help develop and design our software solutions.  This is an exciting opportunity for someone with 2-5 years of experience building software and wants to be part of an exciting software-as-a-service (SaaS) business.
 
As a Frontend Software Engineer, you will:
  • Work closely with our product & design team to translate and execute product vision into scalable product.
  • Be a stakeholder in engineering and product strategy -- this isn’t just another place to knock down story points and tickets -- you’ll have meaningful and direct ownership in your work.
  • Have the autonomy to ship code to production regularly and frequently.
  • Develop tested, scalable core product features that are seamlessly integrated with our API driven frontend.
  • Own the technical direction on key roadmap projects for the team.

  • Strong understanding of modern software development methodologies and their best practices
  • Deep knowledge and experience of object oriented programming in JavaScript frameworks like Vue or React. Deep experience with Vue is preferred -- we use Vue to power our frontend platform (and we use Ruby on Rails on the frontend).
  • Experience with SQL database, schema, and query design and optimization. We’re big fans of PostgreSQL.
  • Care for web performance/optimization and treat performance as a feature.
  • Interest or experience in securing web applications is a plus.
 
Bonus points if you:
  • Have a deep knowledge and experience of front-end development using modern JavaScript frameworks like Vue/React/Angular. (Our primary technologies are Vue and Rails).
 
Compensation and benefits:
  • Highly competitive compensation
  • Healthcare
  • Stock options
  • 401k
  • Unlimited vacation
  • Flexible work environment
