Job description

Job Description

We are working with an early stage travel startup a short walk from South Station to hire a Lead Front End Engineer.

Founded by travel industry veterans (KAYAK) they are creating a brand new platform to simplify and improve the travel booking experience.

If you’ve traveled recently you must have noticed that regardless of the site you visit you find yourself entering the same information over and over again? This is the tedious experience most modern booking sites provide and they are going to fix it.

Although this role is architecture and coding heavy there will be some elements of design involved so we are looking for someone who is opinionated about visual design but definitely isn’t a designer. You should be comfortable with HTML and CSS but this is way beyond pixel pushing.

The client offers 100% paid medical and dental insurance for both individuals and families. They provide a PPO plan as well so there is no need for referrals to any specialists. They also have a 401k match, give you the ability to choose your equipment (including iPhone 6S and an Apple Watch), and have an unlimited vacation policy where you are actually encouraged to get away when needed.

For engineers interested who have no desire to commute into and out of Boston daily, we do also have an office in Westford and you will be able to work from that space 2-3 days/week.

Qualifications

Experience needed:

• Knowledge of cutting edge open source tools and the ability to communicate their usefulness in solving specific problems on the Front End

About you:

• Startup experience
• A desire to be involved in key company decisions in anything tech related
• The chops to take on major industry players as part of a small, passionate team
