UI Engineer

We are seeking a UI Engineer who is focused on using modern tools and techniques to build world-class software for Salesloft’s customers.

You should have strong analytical skills, an unwavering commitment to quality, a collaborative work ethic, and cutting edge coding skills. You should live and breathe the fundamentals of JavaScript (not just jQuery), CSS, and HTML, and command an impressive portfolio of web technologies new and old — all in order to launch innovative features to a global audience.

On a day-to-day basis, you will be responsible for working with your delivery team to prioritize, plan and develop features for our platform. Your focus will be on building the front end of the application along with full stack engineers on your team with a focus on scalability, maintainability, reusability and testability.

If you’re passionate about sales technology, providing a world-class customer experience, and thrive in a fast-paced, hyper-growth startup environment, then becoming a UI Engineer is the career path for you!

THE TEAM:

Our Salesloft’s UI Engineering team is composed of seasoned and up-and-coming UI Engineers who are all aligned on one mission: to redefine the Sales Engagement space and activate the authentic seller in all of us.

OUR STACK:

We do continuous deployment to production, which means..

We write good tests. Not tests for the sake of tests, but tests that help us think out code design and protect ourselves from regression and ultimately move faster.

We run everything on AWS OpsWorks. If you haven’t used it, it’s great. Think Heroku had a baby with EC2.

We have a service-oriented design. We have 2 main products, but ~7 other service apps to support them and an internal API to connect them. It allows us to keep codebases smaller, optimize more specifically, and explore new technologies with isolation.

We are mostly a Postgres shop, though one of our services uses Elasticsearch. Right tool for the job.
