Senior Frontend Engineer - Platform, Identity

The Platform tribe’s mission is to enable the delivery of valuable experiences to our merchants. We do this by providing tools, systems and APIs that allow SumUppers to efficiently innovate, build and run our products and services at scale.

As a Senior Frontend Engineer in the Identity team, you’ll help us implement best-in-class authentication and authorization experiences. 

 

What you’ll do

  • Take ownership of features in our login and signup experiences. For example, build the frontend for the multi-factor-authentication device enrollment feature in our Next.js application written in TypeScript.
  • Extend and maintain our OAuth2 and OpenID Connect client libraries for single-page applications (vanilla JavaScript and React), to match our platform’s capabilities and address feedback from other teams within the company. The libraries are written in TypeScript.
  • Contribute to our continuous integration and delivery pipelines for our frontend stack, including end-to-end tests, within GitHub Actions.
  • Collaborate with product engineering teams by assisting them with the integration into our identity platform.
  • Mentor your fellow engineers.
  • Participate in team rituals.

 

You’ll be great for this role if

  • You have extensive experience with TypeScript, JavaScript, and React.
  • You care about accessibility, performance, and progressive enhancement.
  • You are comfortable with Docker.
  • You know how to set up test automation for the software you write.
  • You have great communication skills.

 

It would be a plus if

  • You have some backend experience with Node.js or Go. For example, you have worked with Express.js and understand basic concepts like middleware, request handlers, and routing.
  • You have experience working with Kubernetes. For example, you know the difference between pods and containers and can modify an application’s deployment.
  • You have experience with authentication and authorization, for example because you integrated an application with an OAuth2 server
