Senior Frontend Engineer

About the Role

At Houseware, the role of the Senior Frontend Engineer is to deliver optimal user experience while advocating best engineering practices. You are expected to take ownership of problems end to end - this would include communicating with the stakeholders, setting the right expectations, and ensuring top quality for the code & the product being shipped.

We are hell-bent on building a forward-looking product, something that constantly pushes us to think by first principles and question assumptions, building a team that is agile in adapting and ever curious. While fast-paced execution is one of the prerequisites in this role, equally important is the ability to pause and take stock of where product/engineering is heading from a long-term perspective. Your initiative is another thing that we would expect to shine through here, as you continuously navigate through ambiguous waters while working with vigor on open-ended questions - all to solve problems for and empathize with our users.
