Software Engineer II - Web
OkCupid is looking to hire a Software Engineer for our Web team!
What’s it like to be a Web Engineer at OkCupid
The OkCupid Web Team is a nimble team of five, building features that help connect millions of users every day. Because our team size is so small, each of us has full ownership of features from ideation to deployment. We work closely with other engineering and product teams across the company to figure out the best ways to help people find meaningful relationships.
As the sixth member of our team, you will help us continue building beautiful and performant user interfaces and shaping the OkCupid product.
Some cool things the web team has done this year:
- Implemented the next generation of OkCupid’s API, a Node-based GraphQL system utilizing the Apollo platform
- Built out our CI/CD pipeline to automate deployments across our different repositories
- Created a new system for internationalizing questions. Should “Are you willing to pay extra for guac?” be shown to everyone in the world? We don’t think so either
What you’ll be doing:
- Build interactive and intuitive UIs in React that connect millions of users
- Contribute to creating components and APIs for OkCupid’s frontend libraries
- Continually improving our tech stack
- Engineer beautiful and performant user interfaces
- Participate in the conceptualization and execution of product features
- Contribute to the growth and success of other members of the team
You may be a fit for this role if you:
- Enjoy building UIs with ES6, webpack, React, Redux and Sass
- Have a strong grasp of modern JavaScript and CSS
- Have a high bar for clean, readable and testable code
- Care deeply about performance, accessibility and the experience of our users
- Feel strongly about how a webpage should look and feel
- Have experience in writing unit and automated tests
Job Perks:
- Competitive salary and full benefits, including Medical, Dental, Vision, and 401k
- Workstation and tools of your choice
- Paid attendance to conferences
- Daily complimentary catered lunch from some of NYC’s top restaurants, and an endless supply of snacks and drinks
- Company funded happy hours/events
- Discounted membership to some amazing NYC facilities including Chelsea Piers Gym
- Generous maternity and/or paternity leave and contributions towards fertility preservation
