Software Engineer - Frontend (San Mateo, CA)

Fri, 05/18/2012 - 13:15

About Us: 

  • Redbeacon is a hot online local-services company. We're figuring out how to use technology to create a better way of finding and hiring local services. This is a huge market, and we're growing the space with other exciting companies such as Uber, Taskrabbit, AirBnB, and LivingSocial.
  • Our company was founded with fanfare -- funded by Mayfield Fund and Venrock and winning the top prize in the 2009 TechCrunch 50 , the SAI Startup 2010 and 2011 Always On 250 -- in the San Francisco Bay Area by 3 ex-Googlers.
  • As of January 2012, Redbeacon was acquired by The Home Depot -- a move that ensures that Redbeacon's mission will extend nationwide and that the company will continue to grow rapidly. It's a great fit, and the acquisition provides us with the resources to drive forward.
  • Redbeacon is a part of a fierce startup culture where we move fast and take risks. Our office is the kind of place where what you brainstorm in the morning can be implemented by the afternoon. Redbeacon employees are friendly, passionate, and hard-working, and everyone is expected to drive success immediately.

About the Job:

  • Apply technology to drive business results in a data-driven environment. Take ownership of what users see and have a strong voice in how we enhance and improve the product.
  • Relish in the role of being a front-end specialist. We will look to you to solve hard problems and make our front-end fast, elegant and awesome.
  • Build leading edge features using social, mobile, AJAX, widgets and more.

Requirements:

  • Fluent in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with a deep understanding of how to make everything work harmoniously together. Ability to go off-book in JavaScript.  You cross-browser debug in your sleep.
  • PASSIONATE about realizing great design through code. You have opinions about the products you work on and aren't afraid to defend them / be criticized / be wrong. You know how to be confident and consultative at the same time. 
  • Experience writing code that interacts with a large, complex back end - you need to be able to read server side code. You have some experience working in a server side scripting language... it would be great if it was Python, but others (Java, Ruby) would be fine.
  • Software Engineering discipline. We need you to understand what it means to work in a professional software engineering environment and how to work effectively with other talented team members. No cowboys or lone wolves. You take pride in checking in bug free code.
  • Comfortable with compromise -- you build beautiful, functional stuff, but you know that the perfect is the enemy of the good.
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent in computer science, information systems or related field.

Nice to Have

  • You have an eye for design. You are interested in visual and/or interaction design, and maybe have even performed one of these roles in the past.
  • Demonstrable experience building user interfaces that render perfectly across a multitude of operating systems, browsers and mail clients. You take pride in your pixels.  You routinely astonish colleagues with your detail orientation.
  • Experience working in short, agile, iterative development cycles.
  • You code for fun and have a side project or two you help out with.
  • CS background is preferred, but it's more important that you are passionate about design, usability and other things non-code-related: you are good with code, but do it to *make things* and *make them cooler* - not to stare at ones and zeroes.
  • Experience integrating with third parties - through APIs or otherwise.

Perks:

  • Exposed-brick office space that's only a half block from the San Mateo Caltrain stration
  • Dog-friendly work environment
  • Fully paid monthly Clipper passes or office-adjacent parking passes
  • Ordered-in lunch three times per week
  • We are in downtown San Mateo....very close to restaurants and bars
  • Great benefits: medical/vision insurance, 401(k) matching program, Employee Stock Purchase Program (ESPP), Restrict Stock Units (RSUs)
  • 3 weeks of vacation per year
  • Gym/wellness reimbursement
  • Company match for charitable gifts
  • Tuition reimbursement program
  • Kitchen stocked with organic fruit, snacks and beverages
  • And much more!!!!

Front-end Engineer - CoffeeScript/Javascript/HTML5 technologies (SOMA / south beach)

Hotel Tonight Starts and Ends with Great Products

At Hotel Tonight, we take enormous pride in the product experiences we deliver to both customers and hotel partners. We build amazing products by questioning the standard way of doing things. We are looking for an outstanding product designer who shares our passion for beautiful, practical products that earn raves from our peers and our customers.

You may have seen our apps (or even booked a hotel through them!), but you should know that we're far more than an app developer. Because we've built the world's first mobile-only online travel agency, there's a lot of code behind the scenes to process transactions, interface with hotels and determine which ones go on sale each day.

Every day, the team faces the challenges of scaling to support our increased booking volume, building a unified global platform and adapting to the newest mobile technologies, all while keeping our apps fast and our UX clean and simple. To accomplish this, we utilize whatever technology is best to solve a particular problem, not necessarily the one we're currently using.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

* Develop the world's best web applications for users who want to use HotelTonight but prefer not to download an app (or are on a platform we don't build native apps for.)
* Push the boundaries for what is possible with web apps, keeping the product true to our core product values of Simplicity, Beauty & Fscking Usefulness, but taking advantage of the newest features and rejecting the common ways of solving problems.
* Work with the rest of the team to extend our APIs and other systems to support your ideas.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IN YOU

* Excellent knowledge of JavaScript, CoffeeScript, HTML5 and related technologies.
* Ideally you have experience with Backbone.js or other JavaScript frameworks and toolkits, CSS transforms, and building mobile web applications.
* Excited by and familiar with the tools and methodologies we use for building great software, including Git, pragmatic BDD/TDD testing, and interested in the other aspects of our tech stack like RoR, Haml, SCSS, Android and iOS.
* Damn opinionated. If something isn't up to our level of quality, even if it's not what you're working on directly, we expect you to make a stink and help us improve it.
* Independent and product-focused. We expect our developers to also define big portions of the products they build. If you want to be handed a complete product spec on your first day, you'd probably be happier working elsewhere.

WHAT YOU'LL GET FROM US

* An opportunity to define mobile commerce and change the way people book travel.
* Camaraderie of a great team that works incessantly to build the next great online travel company.
* Great SF office location at 2nd and Mission. (If you don't live in SF,we'll move you here.)
* Great perks: Annual travel stipend, money to buy mobile devices and customize your desk/rig, unlimited coffee and snacks, and a gong (that you'll get to bang when you ship something amazing.)
