We have clusters of team members that live in New York City and in Austin, Texas, but even in those cities, our staff works remotely. In order to keep our domestic and international team members engaged with each other for optimal collaboration, we encourage safe and responsible in-person gathering when it makes sense.

§  Ability to implement designs from wireframes / mockups into reliable and reusable code

General Expectations: As a Senior Frontend Engineer, you’ll have proven through your past work experiences your ability to work with other senior and junior engineers in order to improve organization’s frontend architecture design. This includes but not limited to:

§  Being willing to learn our technical stack and (eventually) demonstrate ownership of our existing codebase and infrastructure

§  Implementing new VueJs components from existing designs

§  Integrating VueJs components with our existing API

§  Performing code reviews and helping other team members follow our architectural concepts

§  Knowledge of Laravel framework is a plus

Our Hope:             We firmly believe that our people are our most valuable asset and that if we continue to assemble exceptionally talented and diverse individuals, our firm has the best chance of maintaining the trajectory of success we’ve established to date. Individuals who’ve found the most comprehensive forms of success and fulfillment at Lenox Park tend to be fully aligned with our mission. They also exhibit professional maturity, natural curiosity about the finance or technology arenas, and an eagerness to learn. In the past, we’ve hired team members with degrees in Economics, Business (Finance, Marketing), Communications, Computer Science, Engineering and are open to other areas of study. We value individuals who have a record of great judgement and a keen interest in developing themselves and the team around them.

We’re driven by a mission that prioritizes diversity, equity and inclusion and we hold ourselves accountable to setting an example, and being the change we want to see in the world. To that end, we encourage all our colleagues to lend their full authentic selves to our mission and contribute to the cultivation of an inclusive culture that values diversity. This way, we have the broadest possible set of perspectives, while tackling some of our industry’s most meaningful challenges.  

In order to be successful as a Senior Frontend Engineer one should demonstrate attention to detail and have strong analytical and problem-solving abilities. In addition, you should have experience with large projects. This means that you've created significant software projects from scratch, or at least large components of one, and demonstrated that you can do quality work under a deadline. You make decisions with the big picture in mind, have a point-of-view about good software architecture, and can guide other developers when needed. You can quickly find your way around a complex codebase.

Another very important element is that you communicate and work well with others: You exhibit good communications skills and collaboration habits, both written and verbally, by providing accurate time and effort estimates, creating good requirements and documentation, and working to ensure the team meets agreed-upon deadlines. You are comfortable working with product and project managers to plan weekly sprints, capable of prioritizing and undertaking multiple projects at once, and experienced with Agile development methodologies. When needed, you are cool under pressure.
