Higher Logic is looking to build and evolve rich, scalable user experiences used by millions of community members worldwide, and needs a Senior Front-End Developer (React) to own complex UI work and raise engineering standards.
Requirements
- Strong understanding of Agile values and principles.
- Strong proficiency in modern JavaScript (ES6+), DOM fundamentals, and the JavaScript object model.
- Deep knowledge of React and its core principles (composition, hooks, rendering lifecycle, performance patterns).
- Solid grasp of asynchronous UI state and data flows (promises, async/await, request lifecycles, optimistic UI).
- Experience integrating with RESTful APIs.
- Familiarity with modern authorization mechanisms (e.g., JWT-based flows).
- Experience with common front-end tooling (Vite/Webpack, Babel, npm/yarn/pnpm).
Responsibilities
- Build, maintain, and ship high-quality product features in a multidisciplinary Agile team.
- Translate designs, wireframes, and product requirements into accessible, performant React experiences.
- Own UI architecture decisions: component design, state management approaches, data fetching patterns, and maintainable abstractions.
- Write reliable, well-tested code; participate in code review; mentor teammates through thoughtful feedback and shared patterns.
- Triage, debug, and resolve issues across browsers/devices; collaborate with QA/support/product to close the loop quickly.
- Optimize for real-world performance at scale (rendering efficiency, Core Web Vitals, bundle size, caching strategies).
- Contribute to guild practices: propose improvements to coding standards, tooling, documentation, and architectural approaches.
Other
- 4+ years building production web applications with React (or another major JS framework/library).
- Strong product instincts: you sweat details, communicate tradeoffs, and care about user outcomes.
- Competitive compensation.
- Comprehensive health benefits package.
- 401(k) plan with employer match.
