Description Turnitin is looking for an experienced front-end
engineer to help us build user-facing applications used by millions
of students, teachers, and administrators. This is a high-impact
role in which you will:
- Collaborate cross-functionally with the Engineering, Product,
Quality Assurance, and Support teams
- Implement end-to-end solutions for Turnitin's next generation
of academic integrity products
- Break down large projects and features into independently
workable/shippable milestones and stories
- Write readable, testable, and maintainable code
- Contribute throughout the front-end stack, developing features
and reusable components for performant, accessible JavaScript
applications that enable users to submit, view, and interact with
documents they have written within the context of our integrity
products
- Make contributions to both the short- and long-term development
of our products and team processesYou should
- Be passionate about the software you build, and the way that
you build it. - We're a small, high-output, largely self-directed
team that prides itself on both the quality of the code we produce
and on our commitment to improving our processes along the
way.
- Be opinionated enough to speak up when you think we could be
doing something better than we're doing it now -- and tactful and
empathetic enough to communicate this in a way that brings people
along instead of distancing them.
- Be curious enough to try new approaches to problems, in code,
architecture, and organizational matters. - Don't be afraid to try
something that doesn't work, or doesn't work as well as you might
like - but also know when to quit.
- Be self-directed enough to seek out and understand not just the
'what' of what we're building, but also the reason we're building
it - who is it for, how does it help them - and be informed by this
knowledge to make your own decisions, large and small.
- Be a proactive communicator - both to teammates and our
collaborators from other engineering teams, product, customer
support, sales, you get the picture. - Our work impacts a lot of
people, and there are a lot of stakeholders who need to maintain
context alongside us as progress / decisions are made.
- Be practical enough to strike a balance between doing things
'perfectly' and doing things 'well enough to ship'. - That is, you
should know what an ideal project or application looks like, and
also know when diminishing returns get in the way of bringing a
better experience to our users.
- Be well-versed in understanding large feature requests and
breaking them down into smaller, more manageable chunks of
independently shippable work - - and helping to organize the team
to collaborate on working together or in parallel to get them done.
