About the Job

We are hiring a world-class team of front-end software engineers to architect, implement, and deploy a consumer-facing product that harnesses AI to surface trusted information for more confident user decisions. In these nascent stages, you must be comfortable experimenting rapidly: working with the founding team to collect user feedback, implement new interfaces and ultimately deploy your work in early product releases. While you can execute on implementation and experimentation independently, you thrive in collaborative environments, can integrate feedback from active users into your own vision for the product, and can work with designers and engineers to refine our vision into your own. Together, we will create a new internet: one built on trust, kindness, facts, and empathy.

You may be a fit for this role if several of these statements resonate with you. We are hiring for a team of software engineers, so not all of these statements need to resonate with you — when you reach out, we want you tell us how you will best fit into the team we are building and which skill sets you can cover and which you would like to learn:

• You are electrified by the possibilities and challenges of building a consumer application with high public visibility

• You have experience designing, implementing, running, and maintaining production front-end code using React, NodeJS, CSS, and other frameworks

• You’re passionate about details – you strive for pixel-perfect front-end code, buttery animations, and lightning-fast load times

• You are always willing to learn what you do not know in order to create a necessary new technology

• You can quickly iterate with designers and AI experts as part of a tight user-validated feedback loop

• You can easily incorporate existing tools to solve problems you face, but you are excited by the idea of creating your own solutions when others are not sufficient

• You want to play an active role in the entire lifetime of your work from the design to the magical experience it creates for users

• You have a strong portfolio, whether it is a collection of professional, academic, or personal projects taking the form of production code, or open source contributions.

• Your past work reflects a penchant for clean abstractions and decomposition of complex tasks into manageable milestones

• You are passionate about technology, a scientific approach to development, and experimentation in the product and across all parts of the organization

• You want to be part of defining and building a team around a vision and technology that has a direct path to improving the daily lives of people all over the world

• You derive satisfaction from performance optimization

• You will take joy in collaborative brainstorming and proposing innovative solutions
