Founded in 2014, StoryXpress has a rich community of 500K+ users including small enterprises to Fortune 500 companies.

What your role would be?

We are seeking a Front End Developer to join our core engineering team. Teams are explicitly small and built on mutual respect and high trust. It's not a fit for everyone, but when there's a fit, it’s one of the most rewarding places to work.

Job Responsibilities and Duties

We believe the best product is the one that helps users accomplish their goals while growing the business. To join us on this journey, you'll be required to:

• Build reusable code and libraries for future use.
• Ensure the technical feasibility of UI/UX designs.
• Optimize applications for performance and scalability.

• Possess a thorough understanding of the MVC principle and JS design patterns
• Have experience with building user interfaces consuming data from REST APIs

Brownie points!

Your application would be seriously prioritized if you:

• Experienced in building and/or maintaining chrome extensions
• Indulged in projects around Data Visualization
• UX design principles and frameworks
• Are acquainted with testing frameworks and performance measurement tools

If you don’t meet 100% of the above qualifications, you should still seriously consider applying. Studies show that you can still be considered for a role if you meet just 50% of the role’s requirements. We’re building a diverse team whose skills balance and complement one another.
