Job description

Muck Rack is the leading SaaS platform for public relations and communications professionals. Our mission is to enable organizations to build trust, tell their stories, and demonstrate the unique value of earned media. Muck Rack’s AI-powered, comprehensive, and integrated platform streamlines the PR workflow to help businesses generate positive media coverage, monitor mentions to manage brand reputation, and analyze PR’s impact on business outcomes. By combining media database, monitoring, and reporting into one dynamic platform, we empower teams to collaborate seamlessly, pitch effectively, and analyze results faster and more efficiently.

Founder-controlled, fully distributed, and growing sustainably, Muck Rack has received several awards for its unparalleled culture and product from organizations like Inc., Quartz, G2, and BuiltIn. We value resilience, transparency, ownership, and customer devotion, and infuse these values into everything we do.

We’re looking for a talented and motivated Senior Frontend Engineer to join our team and make a big impact.

As a Senior Frontend Engineer on the Relationships team, you’ll work closely with design, engineering, and product to ensure our customers have features essential to their growing needs. You'll contribute to small and large technical projects across the application, while collaborating with other application teams. You will play a key role in shaping our engineering culture and processes.

Our tech stack includes Python, Django, Celery, MySQL, ElasticSearch, Vue, and Webpack. Our technology team prioritizes scalability, quality, efficient delivery, and an intuitive customer experience. We release updates frequently while maintaining a strong work-life balance.

To be set up for success in this role, you’ll need to have:

• 5+ years of professional experience as a frontend software engineer, focused on frontend architecture, performance and profiling, design systems, and testing frameworks
• Experience with Django or a similar web framework
• Experience with modern testing frameworks like Jest
• Experience with monitoring and observability tools like Sentry
• Experience with analytics tools like PostHog

If any of the below also describe you, this could be an exciting opportunity:

• Works on complex, high-traffic web applications at a startup or SaaS company and takes part in architecting frontend codebases, design systems, and testing frameworks (unit, end-to-end)
• Relies on tools like Sentry to monitor critical infrastructure and respond to issues
• Builds interactive and easy-to-use user interface components with a foundational understanding of frontend-to-backend communication, responsive design, grid layout systems, common UI patterns, SEO best practices, accessibility and web typography
• Evaluates the technical feasibility of product specifications and designs and bridges the gap between concepts and technical implementation
• Values user-friendliness, speed, scalability, consistency and accessibility over style and aesthetics, but still recognizes their importance

In addition, we’re always looking for candidates who:

• Have excellent communication skills, with an ability to explain ideas clearly, give and receive feedback, and foster a good rapport with teammates
• Take pride in the quality of their code (Your code should be readable, testable, and understandable years later. You adhere to the Zen of Python.)
• Work well in a fast-paced development environment with testing, continuous integration and multiple daily deploys
• Have the ability to manage complexity in a large project, and incur technical debt only after considering the tradeoffs
• Take a logical approach to problem solving that combines analytical thinking and intuition
