This is a part-time, freelance role.

You’ll help us implement new features and improving existing ones using React in the front end. Familiarity with Material UI, the component library that we’re using, is a plus.

You’ll also help implement marketing improvements to our web app. Any experience with implementing A/B tests or analytics tracking would be a big asset.

Prior stock investing or finance knowledge is also a nice bonus, but not required.

• Strong attention to detail

• Has good taste in engineering choices, explains and makes wise tradeoffs to balance pragmatism in achieving business requirements with adhering to technical best practices.

• Delivers clean, high quality, easily readable and maintainable code

• Cares about solving big, systemic problems. You look beyond the surface to identify and understand root causes and seek to resolve those instead of only addressing the symptoms.

• Exhibits strong attention to detail and sweats the small things

• Good eye for aesthetics and basic understanding of design (good alignment, spacing etc). Able to give input on UI/UX issues.

We believe in an iterative process when building technology and as a result we expect a strong feedback loop - frequent communication, asking questions when there are any uncertainties, pointing out tradeoffs to be made, and front footing anything unexpected are all strongly encouraged and highly valued.

Nice to have

• Able to do simple mockups in Figma that fits with the existing site aesthetic - when given wireframe + existing components

• Experience on a growth team (setting up A/B tests, conversion tracking etc.)

• Experience investing in stocks

• Ruby on Rails experience

To apply - please write a paragraph or two explaining why you would be a good fit for the job. Important: mention our component library at the very beginning of your application message.
