Principal Engineer, Front End
At Harry’s we are building a cutting edge technology stack to support our multi-brand vision. We are already a successful men’s grooming brand. We launched in 2013, focused on quality craftsmanship, simple design and modern convenience and now we have over 3 million customers worldwide.
With our most recent round of financing ($112 million), we are developing brands beyond men’s grooming. The technology required to enable our goals is more sophisticated than first meets the eye. If you are a driven, talented engineer, come join us and help build the platform that will enable our new vision.
About the Team
Harry’s is looking for a talented, experienced Principal Engineer to join our team to focus on building out our web application and associated systems. The Engineering team at Harry’s is responsible for building the software to support all e-commerce activities: from building customer-facing, responsive interfaces to tools for managing fulfillment and order processing.
We need someone who can step in and do some figurative heavy lifting on our application and step into a coach/mentor role for other engineers on the team. In this role, you’ll be ensuring that our technical capabilities keep pace with our business goals while keeping technical quality and engineering rigor front of mind. Systems and software you build will help us serve thoughtful and delightful customer experiences in a way our retail competitors cannot.
This should describe you:
- You are a web application developer, who has thrived in the startup world before.
- Have 10+ years of experience in engineering.
- Can demonstrate deep expertise in the use of JavaScript, CSS, and browser tech, and can speak readily on advancements in those fields.
- Can demonstrate deep understanding of ES6 and Single Page Application Frameworks (ex. React, Angular, Vue).
- Can demonstrate close working relationships with “backend” engineers and understand how best to integrate a front end toolchain into a modern web stack.
- Have a keen eye for design detail and have demonstrated they know how to build and maintain a healthy relationship with Product and Design teams.
- You enjoy working closely with a product and design team to deliver quality products.
- Enjoy leading features, projects and cross functional technical initiatives.
- A teacher and mentor to other engineers within the teams you've worked in.
What you will do:
- Take responsibility for setting the direction and approach for front end across engineering.
- Work with engineers across all the teams to ensure that our front end code reflects our high standards of quality and practice.
- Work closely with Product and Design to ensure that user-facing features are executed in a way that accurately reflects the intention and eye for detail of those teams, while still applying our standards and rigor to that process.
- Build high-quality, high-value software, and be an advocate for front-end technologies across the engineering team.
- Work closely with backend engineering teams on standards and conventions across applications.
- Mentor engineers and help grow technical expertise across organization.
