Senior Front-End Engineer

WHAT IS GREENLIGHT?

Greenlight is a social network for creators, influencers and entrepreneurs with large internet followings. Greenlight provides a place for these rising stars to socialize with one another, network and collaborate on projects, develop professional skills, and land sponsored content deals for their social channels. Greenlight was founded because the world is moving away from conventional advertising (slogans, stock photos/videos, spammy banner ads) to a world where you get honest product recommendations from creators and leaders whose opinions you actually trust. This industry is incredibly fragmented, lacking critical infrastructure to create a fair and transparent market for all participants. The industry also lacks a way to measure trust and authenticity within sponsored content. Greenlight is building a community for those trusted and authentic creators who will find themselves at the heart of the 21st century advertising economy.

We are a funded startup building the future of social media. Our founders are serial entrepreneurs with degrees from MIT, Harvard, and Babson. We have a geographically diverse team structure, with founders located within East and the West Coast startup hubs. Some employees are located in global hubs for tech outside the US and offshore applicants will be considered.

We are looking for a Senior Front End Software Engineer to join our team. The candidate will be working as part of our team driving, designing, creating and maintaining components of our IOS app, but experience with Android and web app frameworks like React/Vue/Flutter is a plus.

Our culture is at the core of everything we do. Focused on results, keeping our users first, we always work for better and always test, iterate and improve. We learn from our mistakes, direct and open feedback is at the core of our culture.

We are a funded startup, and we are scaling fast. If you want to learn, grow and deliver, if you are results-oriented, love teamwork, appreciate open communication, learning and iteration, and making decisions with data, come, join us!

We need people who love modern, responsive mobile app and web application designs. We're looking for innovative engineers who are passionate about writing code and unafraid of solving big problems in a fast-paced start-up environment. You will have the opportunity to impact the evolution of our apps and CRM features from the early days. You will get to do this from the comfort of your home with a flexible schedule, we are a global team.

We believe the role would place you in a highly-energized environment with some of the most hardworking creative individuals in the industry where you would be inspired to share your years of experience while finding ample opportunities to grow professionally.
