HelloSign

Front End Engineer

If you want to develop new products at scale while helping us pay down technical debt, we want to hear from you. HelloSign is creating the next generation API-focused eSignature service. We are seeking a Front-end Engineer to help us build and maintain our React/Redux and jQuery-based front-end, complete with automated tests and SCSS styling.

You can turn complex problems into simple solutions. You also have good intuition around what makes sense to build in-house versus pull in as external dependencies. You like building tools for other developers. You value transparency and collaboration and enjoy independent work in a team setting. In this position, you will also work closely with our in-house Creative and Product teams to create efficient, reusable, customer-facing modules that will comprise HelloSign and HelloFax.
