JUNIOR FULL STACK ENGINEER

(Recent Computer Science grads welcome!)

Location: New York City / Hybrid Remote / Remote

We have an office in NYC and this position can either be based in the office, hybrid-remote, or remote within EST or CST time zones (subject to your existing legal right to work in the jurisdiction).

About the Role

Here™ is currently hiring for a junior Full Stack Engineer to join our team! We are seeking out talented individuals who are ready to continue developing their software engineering skills, while becoming a contributing member of our Engineering team. Our ideal candidate has a solid foundational knowledge of Javascript / Typescript + React and is enthusiastic about learning new languages, frameworks, and technologies. This is an excellent opportunity to bring your knowledge to the table and learn from some of the best in the industry. You can expect a collaborative, supportive environment and the opportunity to gain real hands-on experience and mentorship. Recent Computer Science grads are welcome to apply!

Responsibilities

Your work at Here™ will cover a range of interests and areas of expertise that can scale and drill into what you would like to learn! You can expect to be actively involved in day to day activities that will help continue to shape and develop the work we do here, along with your own experience. The following are three key areas where you should expect to contribute by doing the following:

The Here™ UI Library:

• Architect and build accessible, extensible, and well-tested React components used in several Here™ products.

Shape the Here™ Developer Experience:

• Build out documentation, prototypes, automation, and testing.
• Give tech talks and provide knowledge among teams.
• Help optimize, improve, and build out our engineering processes.
• Cultivate community knowledge with the UI Library and Workspace Platform components among other product Engineering teams.

Build New Features:

• Create, execute, and deliver best-in-class, thoughtful, and elegant APIs for developers and end user experiences across a variety of Here™ products.
• See your work come to life and the positive effect it has on the customer experience, in a highly meaningful way!

What We’re Looking For

• Solid foundational knowledge and experience with React and Javascript / Typescript.
• Comfortable building React components and a passion for making them pixel perfect.
• Basic understanding of state management - Familiarity with concepts like React’s Context API, Redux, or similar libraries to handle application state effectively.
• An interest in learning cross-platform development for Mac and Windows using Electron and modern tools and frameworks like Webpack and NextJS.
• A user-focused, empathetic person who wants to collaborate, write, talk, and dream about code that people will love to use.
• An understanding of interoperability and platform development is also nice to have.
• Interest in Backend Concepts and APIs - While this is a full-stack role, familiarity with RESTful API principles, server / client interactions, and data fetching will help you excel in our environment.
• Understanding of common software design patterns - Familiarity with patterns like MVC, Singleton, Observer, and Factory is helpful. Knowing these will help you adapt to our architecture and build scalable, maintainable code.

A Few Of Our Product Engineering Values

• Code with Empathy - Write your code thinking about the person who might use it next, that person might be you :)
• Don’t follow the GPS into the lake - We like when Engineers are intuitive, critical, and opinionated on what they want to work on and how they think things should be built.
• Remember, design debates are a way to continually improve our processes and software is a core element of our Engineering culture. We want people who strive to make things better and are always willing to learn from others.
• Don’t take all of the blame - When software breaks, we’re all on the hook. We share knowledge, responsibility, and an excitement for fixing things when we discover them.
