Senior Software Engineer, React

Job Description

Position: Senior Software Engineer, React

Reports To: Director of Development

Location: Chicago
 

Job Overview
 

Join an innovative and fast-paced team-building software that allows litigation professionals to filter millions of documents down to those most important to their case using advanced techniques and artificial intelligence. From your seat in Downtown Chicago, you’ll be developing technology that addresses complex challenges such as data visualization, machine learning, distributed systems, large databases, and large-scale data processing.

We code primarily in React TypeScript, and SCSS for front-end development. We are seeking front-end developers who have experience with modern JavaScript frameworks and are eager to learn and grow. We value generalists who can bring diverse knowledge and skills to our team, rather than hyper-focused specialists. Our hiring staff is not concerned with ticking off a list of technologies but is focused on finding the best engineers who are passionate about building great user interfaces and delivering high-quality, responsive web applications.

As far as the development process itself, we don’t want to just check the boxes to be able to say that we have the most (or even the snazziest) features. Rather, we are thoughtful about our design and focused on ensuring that our clients can use software that is both useful and useable. You won’t be buried in a dark corner – you’ll have the opportunity to actively shape the software, while working as an integral part of a dynamic team of developers who are focused on writing great code, learning every day, and having a lot of fun.

In this role, you will work closely with a highly collaborative team and have access to many colleagues who can help ensure timely and effective responses to clients. We operate on a mostly in office schedule, with team members working onsite four days per week with work from home Fridays. This role requires a regular in-office presence to support collaboration, training, and client service. Our office is conveniently located in the heart of Chicago with easy access to major public transportation lines.

• Perform other duties and responsibilities as assigned to support team, department, and organizational goals.

Characteristics

• Extensive knowledge of React.
• Working knowledge of the software development lifecycle to include agile methodologies, code quality, and continuous integration/continuous delivery.
• Driven to build modern systems that emphasize user experience and aesthetics.
• A team player.
• Excellent writing and written/verbal communication skills.

• An eagerness to learn, explore and introduce new technologies.
• Knowledge of C# and RESTful application development and testing is preferred.

Education & Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, a related field, or equivalent work experience. 
• 6+ years’ work experience in front-end software engineering with considerable experience programming in React.
