About the Role

At Abstract we develop high quality web applications that help transform the attribution, connection, and measurement of Design to increase its impact. We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join Abstract, in pursuit of shipping high quality software.

Join us and have an impact that’s felt and experienced by designers all over the world. Do you crave the autonomy to ship high quality software with peers in engineering, product design, and product management? If iteration and craft are values you are drawn to, if impacting the world of design through a product focused on connection, or if you love to create excellent software with some of the finest engineers and designers around, please consider this role!

We're interested in your ability to solve technical problems, support fellow team members, and partnership with teams across the organization in a pursuit of transforming the way designers work. Shipping high quality code, mentoring those around you, and communicating with peers often. Expertise in JavaScript, CSS, and React is a requirement.

What You'll Do:

Collaborate with fellow engineers and designers to build customer-facing features in JavaScript (Flow), CSS, React, and Redux.

Diagnose and address performance issues prior to releasing the finished product.

Participate in code reviews and give useful feedback to peers.

Triage and fix bugs, often working directly with our customers.

Contribute to Ruby GraphQL server-side APIs — through code, peer review, or both — that are needed to ship features.

Assist the QA team with automation tests.

Lead other engineers on projects.

Mentor less experienced engineers and help them grow in confidence and capability.

Communicate proactively with team members and stakeholders about the progress of work.

Participate in standups, backlog grooming, demos, and retrospectives.

Work closely with the support team to triage bugs and respond to emergent work.

Curiosity, and a commitment to life-long learning
