Senior Frontend Software Engineer - Society6
Leaf Group

Job Info

---

Society6 is an online marketplace of unique wall art, home decor and lifestyle goods featuring designs by independent artists. With artwork from over 400,000 creators and the knowledge that every purchase pays an artist, Society6 allows you to empower creativity around the world and in your everyday life.

We are looking for a Senior Frontend Software Engineer to help us build great user experiences, and who is excited to work on initiatives that help build our business.

Our platform is built primarily using PHP, Python, NodeJS, React-Redux, MySQL and CouchBase and is hosted on Amazon Web Services. Expertise in these areas is a huge plus, but familiarity with other common web languages (such as Ruby, Go, or Java), other cloud hosting providers (ie. GCP, Microsoft Azure), and other relational databases are fine substitutes.

A big vision calls for a big job. As we grow, our need for a Senior Frontend Software Engineer grows with us.

Leaf Group is a house of brands, creating and cultivating digital-first companies in growing lifestyle categories: Fitness & Wellness (Well+Good, Livestrong.com); Home & Decor (Hunker, Society 6), and Art & Design (Saatchi Art, The Other Art Fair). Additionally, we have performance focused brands in key categories such as Travel, Pets, and DIY (OnlyInYourState, Cuteness, eHow). Our media and marketplace brands are authentic and authoritative, reaching a large and growing passionate audience.

We work in a fun, collaborative environment that is diverse, adventurous, and open-minded. We look for proactive, accountable people focused on continuous learning and growth to push themselves and our businesses forward. Check us out here.
