Project Description
We're looking for a lead front-end engineer, who will help us to start the team for our new client, Outdoorsy. Outdoorsy is one of the most trusted RV rental and outdoor experience marketplace on the planet that has grown from a lofty white-board idea in 2015, to over $525M in GMV and offices worldwide in the US, Canada, Australia, Europe, and the UK.

The platform that you will develop handles availability scheduling, payment processing, communication, insurance, GPS tracking, and roadside assistance all built-in. Outdoorsy's rapidly growing user base has taken them from the United States to Canada, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. The engineering team that we're building is going to become a small mighty group of self-starting developers who are motivated by making an impact on the lives of Outdoorsy's users, both financially for owners or experientially for renters.
Responsibilities
Who you are:
A hands-on engineer who enjoys front-end development that has built and refactored code bases to follow best practices. You're a stickler for proper architecture and you're not afraid to voice your opinion if something isn't designed properly. Comprehensive test coverage is a must for any code. Security, stability, and performance are always top of mind when building new functionality or reviewing pull requests from the team.

Skills Required
- 7+ years experience working on front-end technologies
- Experience working in startup fast-paced environments
- Expert with modern web architectures and patterns at scale (Twelve-Factor, SOLID, ACID, etc)
- Experience with Frontend technologies: Javascript, Amber.js, React.js or Angular.js or Ember.js. The majority of our front-end code is written in Amber.js and React.js, but we'll happily allow enough time to train for those who recently worked with other JS frameworks;
- Experience with Backend technologies: Golang or Scala or Python or similar
- Experience with Heroku or GCP or AWS
- Extensive experience with Postgres or MySql or any relational database
- Extensive experience with Queues and pub/sub
