We are seeking a senior frontend engineer with React/Next.js/Remix expertise to work with the Launchpad engineering & product teams and intrapreneurs to build and grow digital products from scratch, while setting a strong foundation for Launchpad’s technical organization.
Our ideal engineer will have well-informed technical perspectives, backed in evidence, experience and exceptional work products. They will actively seek ownership and accountability and will thrive in high-velocity environments. In return, Fujitsu Launchpad will provide the opportunity to build innovative products meeting real user needs, make foundational technical decisions, and contribute to structuring and leading a high performing engineering team.
Responsibilities
- Launchpad engineering team, you’ll have the opportunity to work across ventures covering a wide array of industries, user bases and technologies. Perhaps you’ll spend 3 months building and launching one MVP, and then hand it over so that you can start building a different product from zero.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with backend developers, product designers, and founder teams to build, launch and grow high-impact applications with seamless user experiences.
- Take responsibility for end-to-end product delivery, including security considerations, code reviews, testing, quality assurance and bug fixes as part of the CI/CD cycle.
- Make foundational architectural decisions, and define and prioritize technical roadmaps for early stage ventures.
- Identify opportunities and lead efforts to continuously improve Launchpad’s engineering practices, with the objective of furthering impact delivered to customers through high quality products.
- Onboard and mentor new team members as Launchpad’s team grows (both Launchpad’s core engineering team, and portfolio company teams built for venture spin outs).
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in web application development.
- Experience working in a product-focused startup and building user-friendly applications (either B2B or B2C) from zero. (We are particularly interested in candidates who have experience in dynamic startup environments, rather than those limited to large corporations or software agencies).
- Strong knowledge of TypeScript and react.js/next.js/Angular/Vue ecosystem with any of higher level UI/UX frameworks (Remix or similar).
- Understanding of design systems and component reuse in applications.
- Deep API driven development experience (REST and OpenAPI/Swagger understanding).
- Experience in writing testable components and applying unit/functional/integrational tests. Technologies similar to Cypress should be part of the toolbox.
- High level of competency across the full software development life cycle, including analyzing product specifications, building, testing, and resolving issues.
- Excellent critical thinking capabilities, proactive cross-functional communication skills, and the ability to learn quickly and continuously upskill in unfamiliar areas.
Nice to haves
While not specifically required, tell us if you have any of the following.
- Knowledge about hybrid mobile technologies such as Capacitor, Electron, Qausar.
- Ability to design and implement data models for various use cases using document databases, graph databases, and SQL-like backends.
- Understanding and ability to use basic Docker tech stack to deliver applications through lifecycle stages: development, testing, release.
- Team lead or SCRUM master experience.
