We're looking for a Frontend Developer to join our growing team. At Kinvey, our web team tackles tough problems using the latest technologies. You'll be building out our web interface, a single page app written in Coffeescript and using Backbone. You'll also be working with our marketing team to make sure kinvey.com stays fast and responsive for our visitors. Take charge of product UX all the way through implementation. If you love crafting a user experience, and then implementing your vision, then we want to hear from you!
About you
Your native language is the web
You are fluent in the languages of the web: HTML, CSS, JavaScript. You understand JavaScript's prototypical inheritance, why to avoid descendant selectors in your CSS, and how to leverage template precompilation to speed up client side apps.
Your foremost concern is UX
At Kinvey, we design a product for a tough crowd - other developers. You obsess over the details of user experience and flow. Understanding the user's mindset, cultivating the right mental models, and reducing friction are your first concerns.
You're a self-starter
You aren't afraid to jump in and own a part of the product from day one. When you think a decision is bad for the user's experience, you don't hesitate to let everyone know.
You're curious
An unusual bug pops up, and you want to do more than just fix it. You want to understand why it happened in the first place, because who knows(?), maybe you'll learn something new!
