Senior Frontend Software Engineer

Okendo is hiring a Senior Frontend Engineer to build the customer marketing platform that 16,000+ Shopify brands use to turn one-time shoppers into repeat customers. You'll work across our Vue, Angular, and React codebases, from the embeddable widgets shoppers see on storefronts to the merchant admin tools brands use every day, on a fully remote team, using TypeScript end-to-end on a modern AWS serverless architecture.

 

We believe happy customers make the best marketers.

That’s why we built Okendo – the customer marketing platform that creates stronger connections between consumers and the brands they love.

Using Okendo, Shopify brands can grow faster and more efficiently by cultivating brand advocacy and maximizing lifetime value.

Our unified platform and unique suite of products for Reviews, Referrals, Quizzes, Loyalty, and Surveys is trusted by 16,000+ Shopify brands to turn one time shoppers into revenue-driving Superfans.
