We’ve spent the last 17 years building world-class optimization programs and helping companies leverage data, human-centered design, and technology to deliver a better customer experience. All of our engagements are focused on generating consumer insights that can be utilized throughout organizations. We enable teams to take full ownership of their testing, personalization, analytics, and user research programs to become masters of their own experimentation success.
Job Description:
We are looking for a front-end developer with advanced knowledge of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. You should be comfortable writing Javascript without the use of libraries and frameworks. In this role, you will support the experimentation efforts of our clients by writing code for A/B tests, personalization campaigns, and other optimization endeavors. You will also work directly with clients to answer technical questions and provide support.
Qualities we are looking for
- Technical skills. You know JavaScript inside and out and you're comfortable solving complex CSS problems.
- Creative problem solver. The issues our clients are trying to solve aren't always straightforward. You're not afraid to think outside the box and try different solutions until you find one that works.
- Flexibility. You're comfortable with a fast-paced environment where things are frequently changing. You're willing and eager to step in where needed.
- Communication skills. You're able to clearly communicate verbally and through writing in a professional manner with your teammates and with clients. You're comfortable explaining technical concepts to someone without a technical background in a simple and straightforward way. You're not afraid to ask questions and to share your ideas.
- Self-motivated. You're reliable and able to get your work done on time without being micromanaged. You're comfortable exploring complex problems on your own, but you also know when to ask for help.
- Empathy. You work to understand the problems our clients are facing and where they are coming from. You write code with the end-user in mind.
- Detail-oriented. You take pride in making sure your code is high quality, thoroughly checking it on different browsers and in different conditions to ensure you're providing the best quality experience to users and to our clients.
