About Geocaching HQ
We are the global headquarters for the game of geocaching. Our apps and Geocaching.com website allow a global community of more than 10 million people to join in a real-world treasure hunt.
Our mission (and yours should you choose to accept it) is to inspire and enable discovery, exploration and adventure. Basically, everyone’s job here is to enable millions of people to have fun outside. And we've won a Best Place to Work award from Outside Magazine for 6 years in a row. How cool is that?
What you'll do
As a senior front end developer, you architect large-scale, enterprise-level web applications and help define the standards for web development on geocaching.com. You are comfortable leading projects, sharing your technical and architectural expertise, and working side-by-side with designers and backend engineers. You have a passion for building modular, componentized UIs and an uncanny ability to spot reusable patterns from miles away. You work closely with UX/UI designers to prototype and ship new features, develop fast, responsive, and highly interactive mobile-first web experiences, and collaborate with backend engineers to define data contracts and API requirements. You perform peer reviews with other developers, document everything, and lead by example by writing code that is scalable, modular, and robust.
Process: phone screen w/ HR, phone screen w/ hiring team, interview (Skype or onsite). We recommend exploring our website and products before your first phone screen.
