User experience can make or break our business, and it's crucial that we deliver a simple interface to our powerful and sophisticated platform, as well as rich insights mined from the petabytes of data streaming through our pipelines. The Front-End Fundamentals team owns the overall framework and high-level architecture patterns that our feature teams use to deliver powerful features to our users, from campaign creation and targeting to real-time performance monitoring and troubleshooting. Alongside our partners in product management, design, and UX research, we work up and down the stack to deliver world-class experiences. What you'll do: Some of the work that you will be doing to help us deliver on our mission is: * Own software delivery through the whole lifecycle: Design, build, and deploy software from inception to production * Drive complex changes involving multiple components or services * Ensure quality using automated tests, metrics, monitoring, and manual validation * Collaborate with teammates and stakeholders from other teams and departments * Deploy AI thoughtfully throughout the software development process * Build execution plans incorporating user data, observations, market insight, and product roadmaps * Implement and maintain product features * Build components and processes that are regularly used by others * Work on a distributed team and in a distributed system environment * Understand the business objectives behind the code * Understand system architecture fundamentals through self-directed learning * Create clarity out of ambiguity as you join or lead complex projects * Lead others through example, mentorship, and teaching * Participate in hiring to grow the team * Use data to analyze and communicate the impact of your work on operational efficiency We are a global team with different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. To complement this team, you will welcome ideas that are different from your own and be well-versed in building from common ground to value, seek out, and foster invisible and visible dimensions of diversity. Who you are: We have a lot of fun together (especially on this team), but our culture is much deeper than that. Our UI engineers are passionate advocates for our users, both internal and external. We build trust by supporting each other generously; we approach problems with scrappy determination; and we pursue excellence unfailingly even when-especially when-it's not the easy path. Oh, and we laugh a lot. We take the work seriously, but not ourselves.
