About The Opportunity

To start with, you will be responsible for everything frontend at Squad right from our latest responsive website to our new customer-facing products to being an instrumental component in building frontend culture at Squad. We are looking for someone who can be the manager of one from the word go.

We believe that in early-stage startups, there are no Engineering teams. There are only Product Teams. What it means is that not only are you responsible for 'how does it work technically', but also 'should we make this?', 'How well should we build this?', 'Is this what the user/customer needs?'. We like to focus on outcomes vs output.

You will work in cross-functional teams - Strong products aren't built with engineering silos. We truly believe in engineers collaborating within a cross-functional setup & contributing with valuable inputs towards the product outcomes.
If you are interested, Kevin from our Engineering Team wrote a blog that offers a comprehensive window to the coding culture and ethics at Squad: Squad takes the Joel Test.

What you'll be doing

• Collaborate closely with the marketing, product & design teams
• Transform complex designs and prototypes into beautiful products without sacrificing the vision of the design team or code quality
• Build a highly performant and responsive frontend for marketing and product teams
• Build modern front-end web applications in using the right JS frameworks
• Contributing some back-end experience, collaborating on APIs, and more
• Maintaining software workflow via tools like GitHub, webpack, task runners like Grunt and Gulp, etc.
• Consulting and implementation of SEO best practices
• Own the direction of our front end architecture as we grow the product footprint and team
• Plan projects & initiatives
• Be an active agent towards strengthening the technology team & culture
  

What's in it for you?

You get a chance to be one of the first few persons to join the frontend team at Squad and really shape and architect everything here and create massive impact henceforth.

People who have joined us in the past have experienced tremendous growth. You will not only become a better engineer, but we believe that you will have a much more well-rounded growth where you will learn more about various technologies.

Being part of a small team, you will also work directly with the founders and have good transparency into the business strategy, and get to see how a business is built. People who join Squad are extremely smart and you will end up forging lifelong bonds here. :)
