As a Front End Engineer at Scythe, you will have the opportunity to work on everything from designing beautiful and useful UX, to writing cross platform web apps, to also working with the team to plan deployments.

We are looking for an experienced engineer who has worked in production environments to build and scale web apps. You will join a team of talented engineers developing Scythe's web apps, and help shape Scythe's web application architecture over the coming years as we bring products to market.

You'll work in concert with teammates from across the company to build out our mobile offerings. We expect you to be broadly experienced, to be able to "see around corners", to thrive in a fast-paced, self-managed environment, and to be a collaborative teammate who enjoys helping Scythe realize its big mission.

• Design, develop and test various web applications as well as planning, requirements analysis, data analysis and documenting solutions for assigned projects.
• Collaborate on the development of Scythe's next generation web applications to get a bird's eye view of a fleet of mobile robots
• Evaluate current and emerging technologies and frameworks in the web app space to architect solutions
• Team up with web, mobile, cloud, and robot engineers to architect frontend solutions to mobile problems
• Leverage web data synchronization, push notifications, geolocation, interactive mapping, and more
• Communicate with teammates, learn new things, teach what you know

What you know well

• Designed UX / UI for customer facing applications (bonus if these applications were for robots of some kind)
• HTML, CSS, and some flavor of Javascript framework (familiarity with Typescript is a plus)

What you’ve maybe done

• Ideally you have worked on production web offerings at scale
• You've worked on the frontend to deliver a web product or several large features in a web product - everything from conception and gathering requirements from stakeholders to helping design UX to designing the database and delivering the code
• Supported a web application through full delivery life cycle including design, implementation, user acceptance, and post release
• Worked on projects that have given you a strong understanding of React patterns, interfaces, application development paradigms, memory management, concurrency and multi-threading
