Lead UX/UI/Front-End Engineer
Location: Cambridge, MA
Panjiva is a venture-backed startup developing a next-generation information service for the millions of buyers and suppliers in the global supply chain. Founded by MIT and Harvard alumni and located in Cambridge, MA, Panjiva’s technical team is creating the infrastructure that will transform how people and companies trade $10 trillion of goods each year across global borders. We’re funded by one of the world’s top venture capital firms and the same angel investors that have backed Skype, AdMob, Posterous, and many other startups.
Our technical challenges are numerous: processing large amounts of incredibly valuable, but incredibly dirty data from multilingual sources around the world, leveraging machine learning and NLP techniques to enrich our data collection, and making our findings available to customers via intuitive user interfaces that support interactive, real-time analysis of the global supply chain.
Our development environment is highly collaborative, where team members teach as much as they learn. Our small team of MIT Computer Science alumni cultivate a work environment where peers can appreciate and challenge the solutions you develop. At this early stage, there is a great opportunity for leadership in the shaping of Panjiva’s core architecture and its software engineering processes. We’re based in the heart of Kendall Square, about 15 feet from the Red Line T stop.
We are seeking an exceptional lead front-end developer with a track record in building sophisticated and highly usable user interfaces. We’re looking for a true UX/UI master who can make a browser (all browsers, that is) do just about anything. We’re looking for someone who really cares about web standards and appreciates front-end hacks that reduce load times and respect semantics. This a diverse role – you’ll be working on the user-facing product, back end administrative interfaces, and on marketing-related activities to help turn our significant traffic base into increased engagement and revenue.
Further requirements:
- Expert in client-side technologies (HTML, JavaScript, CSS)
- Experience with modern front end frameworks/libraries (e.g. jQuery)
- Some programming experience in a dynamic language (e.g., Ruby, Python) or other scripting language
- Good design sense; Illustrator or Photoshop skills
- Fast learner and fearless
- The number of years of professional experience you have isn’t important to us
Nice-to-haves:
- Startup experience
- Experience with modern web frameworks (e.g., Ruby on Rails, Django)
- Expertise in Ruby / Ruby on Rails
- Open source contributions or side projects
- Bonus points for expertise in, and passion for, information access and visualization (Tufte fans would feel welcome here)
Compensation includes full time salary, generous equity compensation plan, and benefits.
