About Fiveonefour

We believe that data is the key to maximizing human potential. It helps bridge the arts and sciences, inform decisions, and power delightful experiences. Unfortunately, data roles are often limited to specialists like data engineers, data scientists, and analysts. We aim to democratize data, enabling any developer to build data-intensive experiences.

We are experienced founders with a successful track record, a remote-first team, backed by great investors, and cultivating a flexible, high-performance culture that supports working parents. As we grow, joining now offers a unique chance to shape our company culture.

Note on our job descriptions: We believe everyone on the team deserves a great relationship with their manager. Our hiring managers write their job posts intentionally to foster open dialogue.

The role

As the first Senior Front-End Engineer, you will collaborate on building and maintaining Boreal, our Moose Hosting service, and our marketing properties. You should be comfortable working with NodeJS, TypeScript, and NextJS. Since the company is early in its journey, you'll have opportunities to work across the stack.

What to Expect from Me

I am both a player and a coach, passionate about craftsmanship, pragmatic, and eager to learn. I believe engineering is a team sport, fostering collaboration to develop the best architectures and designs. I will challenge your ideas, support your growth, and expect you to ship code often and mentor others as the team expands.

What to Expect from Your Peers

You will work closely with product and design during this growth phase. Our current team includes generalists contributing to the front end, but your leadership will shape our front-end codebase, establish best practices, and implement componentization. We value diversity, flexibility, and the well-being of our team members, many of whom are parents.

As we grow, more talented individuals will join us to tackle challenges and succeed together.

Responsibilities

• Build, maintain, and operate the web properties of Fiveonefour, including Boreal, and their Node backends.
• Lead the architecture and structure of our front-end codebases.
• Review and contribute to other engineers' designs and code.
• Collaborate with product and design teams to bring web products to life.
• Participate in recruitment.
• Mentor junior team members.
• Represent the company at industry events and conferences.

• Attention to detail and pixel-perfect UI design.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and building systems.
