Requirements:

6+ years of professional experience with development technologies including Javascript, NodeJS, React, and Typescript
An exploratory and tenacious mindset when taking on tasks that might have little to no precedent at the organization - our team is relatively new and much of our work is setting up new standards or delving into areas of code that haven’t been touched in a while
Some experience working on problems across a front-end ecosystem—we are looking for someone who is curious about how Webpack works or who wants to optimize an application’s bundle size
A willingness to tackle a diverse range of problems within our front-end ecosystem, and an ability to work autonomously on problems that cross team boundaries and touch multiple codebases
A natural tendency towards documentation and knowledge sharing over siloing
Knowledge or curiosity around Javascript library management, especially around internal component libraries
Fluency moving between and across technical systems and stacks – or at least a willingness to try! We are typically coding in Javascript, but our work brings us into contact with work areas from Docker to design systems
Excitement for your own and your teammates’ learning and growth - we are a small (but growing) team that works very closely together!
A track record of effective collaboration with other engineers to develop abstractions and patterns that make it easy to build reliable software.
An understanding of and a desire to co-create systems that help build psychological safety on the team: sharing learning with others, using peer review as an opportunity to celebrate and build others up, and a willingness to practice the duality of listening and leadership.

Responsibilities:

Write maintainable code that is adaptable to future design and roadmap decisions to help set the standard for software quality for our team and the organization at large.
Lead the process of architecting, refactoring, and improving our contribution forms and the myriad user flows that an ActBlue user might interface with.
Guide the design and execution of technical solutions that prioritize the highest impact opportunities while balancing effort, scope, and other trade-offs.
Partner with engineering managers to find sponsorship and growth opportunities for your colleagues.
Demonstrate technical leadership by writing documentation, establishing effective monitoring, and fostering clear and audience-oriented communication.
Coach and mentor other engineers on your team and create spaces for individuals to be engaged, valued, and heard.
Receive support from your manager to grow as an individual and increase your impact on the success of your team and the progressive movement.
