Position Summary

For this role, we’re looking for a frontend-focused engineer to help build usable interfaces for our customers, business clients, and internal team. As a part of Mashgin, you’ll build products not just for the web but on hardware that’s used by thousands of people a day in every location we deploy to. The key to our technology is machine learning, but it’s useless without amazing design and interfaces. As part of a small team you’ll be making a huge impact on the current product and new expansions of our platform.

• Impact: You will own significant responsibility and have total ownership over your code. We stay lean and efficient, so your work directly impacts the product we ship every day.
• Simplicity: Complexity is a waste of time here—we take pride in building things that just work.
• Hard Work: Forget the glamorous research papers. We prioritize the hard work it takes to achieve real-world clarity and accuracy. You will innovate relentlessly to push the boundaries of what’s possible in visual automation.
• Humility: No task is beneath you. Whether it's high-level architecture or grunt work to fix a bug, we check our egos at the door and get real work done.
• Ruthless Prioritization: If everything is on fire, nothing is. You will be expected to prioritize ruthlessly, cutting through distractions to focus on the most impactful product improvements.
• Customer Innovation: We are customer-centric, not customer-pleasing. You won’t bend to every client demand; you will let innovation drive the product forward to solve the real problems our users face.
• Efficiency: Meetings suck. We keep them short and only use them for alignment, giving you your time back to focus on real work.

• Working with a small interdisciplinary team in hardware and software to design and build new versions of products from scratch
• Reimagining and refactoring existing interfaces to improve customer experience
• Maintaining and improving current web and mobile codebases
• Developing internal tools and UIs to help us scale faster

• 3+ years of experience working in web development
• Expertise in building complex web layouts with CSS and Javascript
• Experience shipping consumer-facing, production-ready products
• Experience with Node.js, Vue.js or Python
• Familiarity with modern web best practices
• Strong design sense, and the ability to empathize with many different types of users

• Experience in a fast-paced work environment, shipping quality code quickly and iterating
• Strong understanding of UX design principles
• Strong attention to detail and spending the time to make products truly magical to customers
• Comfortable throwing away most of your design work (as you should know, UI design is a very iterative process!)

• An opportunity to work on a small, multidisciplinary team with the potential to break new ground in many different industries
• Excellent health, dental and vision insurance for you and your dependents
• 401k plan
• Flexible PTO policy
• Competitive salary and options in a small, rapidly scaling company
