Join a tight-knit, fast-growing team on the leading edge of cloud infrastructure technology. As a Senior Frontend Engineer and one of our first 30 team members, you will have the opportunity to shape the design and user experience of our product, as well as help us build a powerful engineering team. Collaborating with the CTO and founding team, you will turn ideas into a functioning frontend that delights our users. We’re looking for developers that are passionate about our product, can execute quickly, and are comfortable with ambiguity. Top-notch collaboration, communication, and documentation skills are essential.
Backed by leading VCs and software executives and founded by ex-Google cloud engineers and PMs, Stackwatch empowers teams to efficiently operate Kubernetes at scale. Starting with our flagship product Kubecost, we build tooling and intelligence to manage cost, performance, reliability and other infrastructure operability challenges. Our team is fully distributed, and we’re dedicated to building a vibrant, remote-first company culture that focuses on kindness and collaboration while achieving outsized results. We recently raised our Series A—this is an amazing opportunity to join a startup with significant traction!
Our ideal candidate has:
A body of work we can review
Comfort working with data visualization
Ability to go from idea all the way to working frontend
Familiarity with React
Ability to iterate quickly on new products and the flexibility to switch to high-priority initiatives in a fast-paced environment
Passion for infrastructure and/or DevOps tooling
Excellent collaboration, teamwork, and mentorship skills
Familiarity with Kubernetes is helpful but not necessary
You're encouraged to apply even if your experience doesn't precisely match the job description. Your skills and passion will stand out—and set you apart—especially if your career has taken some extraordinary twists and turns. We welcome diverse perspectives and people who think rigorously and aren't afraid to challenge assumptions.
Please mention the word INSPIRATION when applying to show you read the job post completely (#RMjE2LjczLjIxNi4xODA=). This is a feature to avoid fake spam applicants. Companies can search these words to find applicants that read this and instantly see they're human.
👉 Please reference you found the job on Remote OK, this helps us get more companies to post here, thanks!
When applying for jobs, you should NEVER have to pay to apply. You should also NEVER have to pay to buy equipment which they then pay you back for later. Also never pay for trainings you have to do. Those are scams! NEVER PAY FOR ANYTHING! Posts that link to pages with "how to work online" are also scams. Don't use them or pay for them. Also always verify you're actually talking to the company in the job post and not an imposter. A good idea is to check the domain name for the site/email and see if it's the actual company's main domain name. Scams in remote work are rampant, be careful! Read more to avoid scams. When clicking on the button to apply above, you will leave Remote OK and go to the job application page for that company outside this site. Remote OK accepts no liability or responsibility as a consequence of any reliance upon information on there (external sites) or here.

\nThe No-Bullshit-iest Way We Can Describe This Job In The Least Amount Of Words In A Run-On Sentence: \n\nWe build a lot of different kinds of stuff for a lot of different kinds of folks (https://sanbornagency.com/work/) at a shop that is big enough to bite off important, meaningful work and small enough to have fun doing it and we’re looking for an engineer who is equally at ease talking to clients, designers, producers, and developers about things like scope, resource allocation, solutions to engineering problems, creative ideas for how to build things, ways to articulate technical complexity to normal business humans...and occasionally...cut some code.\n\nHere’s What We Think You Probably Need to Be Successful At This Job: \n\n\n* Have agency experience, leading a development team spread across multiple projects and clients.\n\n* Hands on developer and leader\n\n* Are comfortable reviewing project specifications, collaborating with company leadership to develop project estimates and technical specs\n\n* Experienced in code reviews to adhere to best practices and internal standards, providing feedback and following up on remediation\n\n* You have an ear to the ground for new tech, whether it comes from hacker news or a programming subreddit, and a desire to dive in and try it out.\n\n* Experienced in architecting and implementation of APIs in PHP/Laravel, NodeJS/Express and other similar stacks.\n\n* Experience in client and server-side debugging, performance profiling and optimization techniques with an uncanny intuition for finding the cause and solution\n\n* Experience with integration of analytics, a/b testing, and advertising platforms using Google Tag Manager\n\n* Experience in architecting and building group-up custom WordPress themes using Advanced Custom Fields, Gravity Forms, Yoast with custom integrations to third party systems.\n\n* Planning out projects in coordination with Project Manager/Producer and Developer team members, participating in project check-ins providing feedback to the team\n\n* Jumping in to assist developers who are in need of aid in implementation and/or troubleshooting of backend or frontend development goals\n\n* Aiding and/or leading bug triage in coordination with Project Manager throughout project and during QA\n\n* Comfortable working with small projects (1 dev) and medium projects (2-3 devs)\n\n* Experienced in concepting high-level architectures and codifying them in visual and written documentation\n\n* Comfortable with CI / CD build automation tools such as DeployBot, Jenkins, and Travis CI\n\n* Attention to detail and a seamless user experience. This means making the product look like the design and working with your team to make it smooth and perfect.\n\n* You have real-world experience with React. AngularJS knowledge might be transferable, but React is what we're looking for.\n\n* jQuery is "nice to have" but NOT necessary in your arsenal. You respect the finer points of the browser rendering pipeline and know when to 3D transform (and when NOT to). Oh, and calls to GetComputedStyle make you shudder, especially when jQuery is obfuscating them.\n\n* You do so much Wordpress that you have strongly-held opinions about its future, its architecture, and the "right ways" to build with WP. We keep our stack lean and don't go plugin-heavy.\n\n* You have strong opinions on, and respect for, the design process.\n\n* We mostly do a lot of HTML, CSS, PHP, MySQL and JavaScript -- we keep it lean and get the job done.\n\n* You know your way around configuring a local development environment with help from the Interwebz, of course.\n\n* You know what DevOps is but aren't necessarily a zealot for any one process, technology, or denomination.\n\n* You have a willingness to express yourself through animated gifs and obscure movie quotes from the youtubes.\n\n* You work well at the 11th hour, but even better at the first and second so we can be out by happy hour.\n\n* You're down with remote work. We've got offices in NY / LA but we encourage working from home, from coffee shops, from wherever you feel most comfortable. We've got tools in place to keep communication going online and we love that we can all be in different parts of the country and work together.\n\n* We constantly improve only because we don't bullshit each other or our clients. We don't hide; we don't say what we think others want to hear. We do our work with respect, and we value truth, transparency, and honesty above all else.\n\n\n\n\nTo Apply: \n\nIf you are interested, please apply with a resume and introduction. \n\nPlease feel free to skip the formality of a cover letter and write to me as a human being. If you need to use a four letter word to effectively express a previous engagement or an appropriately inappropriate metaphor to describe your ideal work environment, I’ll take that over what you would think I typically “need to hear” in a job application. Be yourself. The truth is the easiest thing to remember and I don’t have time to weed through cover-letter-speak to find out who you really are and what you want in life. Just tell me. \n\n#Salary and compensation\n
