Oportun wants to grow our front-end team by adding an experienced Front-end Engineer. We’re looking not only for a proven engineer, but for a great team member--someone who is comfortable working with our product, platform, and design teams to bring the next step in our company vision to life.
In our team, we put a high degree of trust in our leaders to deliver against the commitments we make to each other and to our business partners. Therefore, you’ll need to demonstrate a high degree of accountability, the ability to spot a problem + own it to resolution and the ability to inspire others to cross the finish line strong.
What we look for in an ideal candidate:
- Desire for quick-iteration--working closely with design and product teams to make incremental and impactful enhancements to the frontend
- Flexibility to work on multiple projects at once
- Experience with responsive web design (knowing what media queries are, for example, and when to use them)
- Experience with REST-based APIs
- 2-3 years experience with at least one of the following frontend frameworks: Angular.js, Backbone, Ember.js, Knockout.js
- Comfortable using the Atlassian tools to track your tasks and code (JIRA/Bitbucket)
Our Technology:
The frontend team makes use of the best tools and frameworks to deliver an exceptional experience to our retail agents. We primarily work in Javascript frameworks, making heavy use of Angular.JS/SASS/Grunt and Backbone (with require.js for dependency injection). Most of the team uses Sublime Text and Textmate in OSX, but we won’t judge you if you prefer Vim in Ubuntu. We trust you to choose the right tools for the job.
