Society6
is a print on demand marketplace whose goal is to empower its community of incredibly talented artists to create and sell art online through over 60 unique product offerings. Our focus is on creating high quality products that bring joy into the homes and lives of our large and growing customer base. We take pride knowing our artists make a living by selling their artwork and designs through Society6.
Our team is located in Santa Monica, CA, and we’re looking for the next generation of tech leaders who understand that simplicity and reliability are aspects of a system to be carefully calculated with every decision made. The ideal candidate is passionate about engineering, great user experiences, and is excited to work on initiatives that help build our business.
Our frontend platform is built primarily using React, Redux and Node.js. Expertise in React is a huge plus, but familiarity with ES6 and JS frameworks such as Angular and Vue are fine substitutes.
Expertise in CSS, CSS preprocessors, responsive frameworks, and cross-browser testing is required.
As a Senior Frontend Software Engineer, you will be involved in every step of the development process. If you're seeking an environment where you can have ownership, problem solve with other talented engineers, continue to learn, advance your career, let’s have a conversation.

You'll work with a team of high level dedicated engineers and product managers in the creation of our e-commerce platform, tools for artists, mobile optimized sites, and search / discovery for our millions of pieces of art
You'll collaborate with team members to conceptualize and build well-crafted scalable solutions that will meet the demands of our high volume of daily traffic and daily transactions
You'll constructively provide feedback and insights to your peers through code reviews and other discussions
You'll produce high-quality results by leading or contributing heavily to large cross-functional projects that have a significant impact on the business
You'll improve engineering standards, tooling, and processes
You’ll be successful if you are a Front End Engineer who specializes in using UI technologies to develop a scalable highly interactive site.
What You Should Have:
You have been building front end web applications professionally for 4 years
You have significant experience with Javascript, ES6, CSS, and at least one JS framework (React, Vue, Angular)

You write testable, maintainable, and understandable code
You have a passion for knowledge, continued learning, and sharing it with others
You are a strong communicator. You can explain complex topics to peers, the product team, and other non-technical team members
Not afraid to wear multiple hats - no job being too small or too large.
We're casual and informal but we work hard and work responsibly. A pleasant and supportive demeanor goes a long way.
Huge Pluses:
Experience with Redux middleware, universal js, and build tools such as Webpack
Any knowledge in testing with Jest and Enzyme and with Node
