Golang Job: Front End Engineer

About Huckleberry:

Huckleberry is rebuilding small business insurance from the ground up. In a multi-trillion dollar industry where paper forms and fax machines still predominate, and customers are wasting countless hours navigating byzantine processes, we provide small business owners with the capability to manage all of their insurance needs through a single, elegant interface. Our team is rethinking every aspect of the experience, from pricing, to underwriting to claims.

We’re backed by Tribe Capital, Uncork Capital, Crosslink Capital, e.ventures, Postmates CEO Bastian Lehman, Apartment List CEO John Kobs, and several others. We’re looking for a Frontend Engineer to join our growing team of insurance innovators in San Francisco, CA. As an early member of the Huckleberry team, you will have full ownership of finding the best solutions to design, architect and implement across our stack. We write a lot of tests, use automated deployment, Github for code reviews, and Sketch/Invision for mockup prototyping.

Responsibilities:

• You will be a Frontend Engineer focused on reinventing how insurance is built on a technological and product-focused level.
• Design and engineer best-in-class user experiences using React, NextJS, and CSS Modules.
• Collaborate with stakeholders and teammates utilizing data-driven methods such as AB testing and analytics analysis.
• Consistently evaluate areas of improvement across the software development lifecycle including deployment strategies, caching, and testing processes.
• Improve application stability and performance through unit, end-to-end, and performance testing.
• Maintain and increase accessibility, SEO best practices, responsiveness, and performance.

About You:

• 2+ years of professional experience in developing web-based applications in an environment utilizing modern software engineering processes.
• Familiarity with modern design and animation tooling (Storybook, Invision, Sketch, Framer, Figma, Illustrator, Lottie).
• Expert mastery of web technologies such as Javascript (>= ES6), web view frameworks (e.g. React, React Native, Vue, Angular), and adept in at least one additional programming/scripting language (e.g. GoLang, Python, Ruby).
• Experience in building scalable, fault-tolerant frontend systems and a strong commitment to quality designs, automated testing, and documentation.
• Sense of ownership and ability to drive issues and new ideas.
• Good communication skills in English, both written and spoken.

Day to Day:

• Develop and maintain our proprietary underwriting and claims decision and aggregation engine user interfaces.
• Continually refine our frontend deployment process.
• Make development decisions with a product focus. We don’t develop in a vacuum.
• How we build is equally important as what we build. User experience also applies to how we organize code.
