Frontend Engineer

New York, NY

Do you want to work on a product that truly improves people’s lives? Do you want to work on a small team with exceptionally talented people? We’re looking for an experienced Frontend Engineer to join the OkCupid Product Team in New York City.

As a Frontend Engineer, you’ll be responsible for building the interface that millions use to meet new people. You’ll play a key role in developing and optimizing new and existing features on the OkCupid site.

What you’ll do

  • Write straightforward, maintainable code in HTML, CSS, and Javascript
  • Work with smart, collaborative people who are passionate about online dating
  • Have a big impact in our product’s direction
  • Think up and execute new features and improve existing ones
  • In short, help us make OkCupid the best way to meet people

What you need to land an interview

  • Experience working in a collaborative development environment (if you’re from another high-traffic site, even better!)
  • Serious knowledge of Javascript
  • You dream in CSS and you know all of the tricks (the IE-saving ones too)
  • Basic familiarity with the UNIX command line
  • Experience with SVN or Git

What we’re expecting

  • You use OkCupid (or have in the past) and love the product
  • You’re a highly technical problem-solver, but you appreciate and understand great design
  • You love building great products that millions of people can use
  • You’re meticulous, but still able to iterate quickly
  • You have a portfolio (which you probably built yourself) of projects you’ve worked on (some of which are self-started)
