About the role

Frontend Engineer

We’re looking for a creative front-end developer to join our product team and help deliver fast, modern web applications to delight our customers.

Responsibilities:

  • Intuitive, rich interfaces that communicate just enough information while inviting the user to learn more
  • Streamlined workflows to enable uploading large datasets from a variety of sources
  • Custom media tools (image/video/text) to help label data accurately and efficiently
  • Effective use of techniques like caching, multipart file uploads, and async updates to ensure a smooth and responsive UX
  • UI components and patterns that enable our team to ship new features quickly

Requirements:

  • 3+ years of experience in full-time roles using JavaScript/TypeScript
  • Ability to balance quality with speed, and refactor as you go
  • Motivated by solving hard & unique problems, continually advocating for the customer
  • Experience shipping production code at a fast-growing startup

Preferred:

  • Opinions about design, copy, and UI/UX
  • Backend experience (application servers, database, etc)
  • Prefers simplicity over complexity
  • EST or CST time zone

Benefits:

  • Competitive equity grant in a Series A company
  • Work remote
  • Yearly professional development stipend
  • Generous PTO and parental leave

Don’t meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. At Centaur Labs, we are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace — so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. You might just be the right candidate for this or other roles!
