Senior Frontend Software Engineer

As a Senior Frontend Software Engineer, you will work with React, TypeScript, and Tailwind to create accessible, interactive, and responsive interfaces that help people accelerate their learning.

You'll...

• Contribute to the team by writing performant, testable, and maintainable code to support Albert's roadmap.

• Take ownership of features and engineering initiatives from end-to-end by going through design, implementation, test, and maintenance cycles.

• Review code with care and thoroughness, catching issues that others might miss and helping teammates grow.

• Lead architectural and design discussions, shaping technical direction for the frontend.

• Collaborate with other engineers and the Product team to define project goals and establish milestones.

• Help define and refine how the team uses AI tooling effectively, establishing patterns and best practices for AI-assisted development.

• Identify opportunities to improve existing code, architecture, and developer tooling.

• Embody our core values and uphold our unique company culture.

Our engineering team encourages members to pursue full-stack contributions and expand their skill set. While it is not required or expected for a frontend or backend engineer to work full-stack, some do and we provide mentoring and support to this end.

Since 2014, Albert has been powering feedback loops for students and teachers to improve educational outcomes. We do this by providing students with engaging, thought-provoking questions and feedback and teachers with actionable data and flexible instructional tools. We believe we can make the biggest impact by working through teachers, equipping them with the highest quality practice and assessment content possible.

Albert is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. We are committed to equal employment opportunities regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity, or Veteran status. As we continue to grow, we do so with a focus on building teams representing the different cultures, backgrounds, ethnicities, and experiences of our users, students, and the world. We simultaneously strive to create spaces promoting personal growth, diversity, and inclusion.

The following are helpful:

• 5+ years of professional experience building production web applications.

• Strong proficiency with JavaScript (ES6+), TypeScript, and React (hooks, modern patterns).

• Deep experience with HTML, CSS/SASS, and building responsive, pixel-accurate layouts. You should be the person teammates come to when CSS gets tricky.

• A strong eye for detail in both UI implementation and code quality.

While not requirements for the role, the following are nice-to-have and will be a part of your day-to-day:

• Experience with accessibility guidelines (eg. WCAG 2.0).

• Experience with TailwindCSS or other utility-first CSS frameworks.

• Familiarity with class-based React components.

• Familiarity with testing tools like Jest, React Testing Library, and Playwright.

• Experience with state management tools such as Zustand, React Context, or Redux.

• Experience with Javascript build tools (eg. Webpack, Babel).

• Experience working with GraphQL APIs.
