The Opportunity
As a Gilt mobile web engineer, you'll be deeply involved in all aspects of getting the product to market—from collaborating with our UX, product, and other teams on software design decisions, to digging deep into actual user behaviors and scaling our mobile products to reach millions of users. Your development work will impact all of the Gilt experience, but will particularly drive new and innovative features to Gilt's mobile web experience. You'll also have many opportunities to share your experiences and passion for technologies with others both internally and externally. You’ll be encouraged to take risks, from developing your own grassroots projects to submitting proposals to prestigious tech conferences.
Gilt's mobile team is perfectly positioned: The team is small enough to make fast decisions and move quickly, yet our audience is large enough that our work makes a tremendous impact. Over 50 percent of Gilt’s traffic comes from mobile devices. We're obsessed with every tiny detail of the user experience. We challenge ourselves technically to combat complexity and build fast, clear, flexible code. We iterate in tight loops and devise creative solutions to difficult problems that must be solved at scale.
