Join Drip—a well-funded, digital-first, swiftly (yet intentionally) growingtech company.

Regardless of location, we’re in this together, here for the long haul, and cannot wait to meet you. 

About the opportunity:

As a Frontend Engineer with Drip Europe’s onsite forms team, You have to write vanilla javascript that doesn’t affect our customer’s performance or functionality, no matter how their website is coded. In short, we get to solve some pretty technical problems for a lot of non-technical users. While we’re looking for a frontend engineer that knows javascript extremely well, we’re also looking for a good co-worker since we all work across many groups to solve, design, build, and ship solutions to our customers’ problems. 

Specifically, we’re looking for someone who is not primarily a framework user but who likes to tinker with problems no one has discovered before. Pragmatic, not political. Can ask questions and give answers. While we do not use React, nor Typescript, directly, we are inspired by some of their ideas.

Finally, while this position is remote, we’re looking for someone who will have significant overlap (at least 4 hours) with Central European Time during a typical workday.

Some of your contributions will include:

• Collaborating on small, empowered teams to help discover, understand, and solve market and customer problems
• Tackling interesting and hard technical challenges at scale.

Core Traits We Look For:

• You may have used a framework like react or vue but also know how and why it works. You may have figured out how more than a few js frameworks are built and have ideas on how they could be improved.
• You know that we are successful if and only if our customers are successful: technology is a means to an end
• You express yourself technically as well as socially in written English. We have multiple nationalities at Drip and many work remotely.

Who You Are:

• You take pride in the things you build, from the visual polish of the user experience to the reliability of backend services
• You thrive in an environment that believes prototypes speak louder than detailed specs
• You have a track record of trying and learning new things
• You like collaborating with teammates across the company to build a plan and to drive complex features from start to finish.

The Frontend Engineer Interview Process:

• Apply, nice to meet you!
• Remote Initial Screen - We're remote in different timezones, your writing style will have a big impact on our asynchronous collaboration
• Recruiter Intro - 30 min to learn about us and our culture
• Coding Assessment - 30 min
• Hiring Manager Call - 30 min
• Team Interview - around 3 hours to meet a few members of the team. No live coding!

• Offer, we will call the candidate that we hope will be the next Dripster hire!

What We Offer:

• Competitive pay, benefits, and equity
• Challenging and meaningful problems to solve - you will invariably make a difference and impact
• The chance to learn from some of the best people in the business, including our wildly talented and in-touch leadership team
• A vibrant and devoted international team, who still finds time for fun
• Digital first culture - many of our crew members work remotely. We have a hub in Minneapolis, MN and a European Hub in Aarhus, Denmark for in person collaboration.

As part of the best team ever (yes, we really feel this way), you’ll work hard and encounter exciting challenges and adventures along the way. In the same vein, our positions come with some pretty amazing advantages, opportunities, and fulfillment.
