Localize | Senior Javascript Engineer | San Francisco (SF) | Full-Time | Onsite / Remote Localize (https://localizejs.com/) is building tools to help companies launch their products in other countries and languages. Our mission: unify the internet by breaking down language barriers, allowing companies, services, and information to be freely accessible to anyone + everyone, anywhere. Growing customer base: Meraki, Uber, Tinder, StatusPage, Bulova, and 500 more... from Fortune 500 as well as small family-run restaurants. Founded by YC + Techstars alum, 3x revenue growth in 2016, near cashflow neutral in 2016. We're building a sustainable + scalable, customer-funded business that won't go bust in 2 years. We're a team of 8 people and 4 engineers (half remote, half in SF). On-site in SF (4th & Brannan) preferred for this role, but will consider remote. We're looking for senior engineers with 5-10+ years of real-world experience + expert level Javascript experience. Small company offering large-company benefits, without the bureaucracy. Sane 40-hour work week, competitive salary + equity, 401k + matching, 100% company-paid health insurance, life insurance, generous + flexible PTO, paternity / maternity leave, charity donation matching, plus the standard startup stuff like bean bags + free food ;) You should be able to: — Navigate our stack: Javascript, Node, Backbone, MongoDB, Redis, AWS. — Use native browser APIs, deep understanding of Javascript (w/o jQuery or frameworks). — Solid understanding of MVC patterns. — Excited by (and experience with) learning and managing a large + complex code base. — Understanding that *efficiently* delivering the best experience to customers + meeting company objectives sometimes requires working with legacy code. — Understanding of unit / integration testing, TDD, and security best practices. — Understanding that the "latest and greatest" Javascript frameworks aren't always better than vanilla Javascript. — Learn quickly, act autonomously, think analytically. — Bonus points for UI / UX / design experience or management experience. Apply by emailing emailing CEO: brandon@localizejs.com or jobs@localizejs.com. 1-2 week application process: Non-technical phone screen, real-world coding exercise (no whiteboard!), in-person meeting or 2nd phone screen if remote. Timeline: ASAP, but flexible up to a couple months. Relocation: Financial assistance available, TN visa, H1B sponsorship if remote, O1 visa if applicable.
