Frontend Developer

Peerlist is a professional network for people in tech, with robust work profiles at its core. With Peerlist, users can distribute and discover each other’s work and expose themselves to new opportunities.

We believe that professional networking should be meaningful and valuable. This can be achieved not only with meaningful work profiles but also by enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio while networking.

We’re looking for a passionate Frontend Developer to join our small team in Pune. At Peerlist, we believe in working closely together on all aspects of the product.

Responsibilities:

• Building pixel-perfect UI, interaction design, accessibility, and on-page SEO.

• You should be able to create components from scratch, be proficient in state management, and API integrations.

• Ensuring optimal performance of the product and scalability.

• Collaborating with developers on the integration of elements.

• Developing high-performance applications by writing reusable and efficient code.

• Participating in peer code review.

You should have:

• Minimum 1 year of experience in frontend development.

• Minimum 1 year of experience with developing applications in Javascript, ReactJS, NextJS, and Redux.

• Experience with CSR, SSG, and Server-Side Rendering (SSR).

• Knowledge of React Native is a plus.

• Experience with version control systems like Git (obviously!)

About the Role:

• If you’re interested in working on all layers of a system, from developing REST APIs to building a scalable and pixel-perfect UI with a Javascript tech stack, then this position is for you.

• A sense of grit to dive into a problem, implement a solution, scale that solution, and replace it when needed.

• You should be self-motivated. We’re looking for a software engineer that can take a task, get clarity as needed, and run with it to produce well-designed quality code.

• A great set of communication skills for getting your point across, implementing a solution, and beyond.

Things to know:

• For better or worse, we’re a startup; our team dynamics are different from companies of different sizes and stages.

• Being a tiny team and at an early stage, we prefer everyone working closely from the same floor. In short, we prefer working from the office. It makes us efficient and helps us move faster. This is true for now.

• We’re a small team, with high ownership, who are not only passionate about what we do but seek to be exceptional as well. At the time of writing, we’re 6, serving tens of thousands of users. There’s a lot of stuff going on, and a lot of ambiguity.

• We want you to own it. We believe that ownership is key to growth, and part of that growth is not only being able to make choices but owning the success or failure that comes with those choices.

• We dislike mediocrity!

Perks and Benefits:

At Peerlist, we provide the best in class benefits. Great salary, full health benefits including dependents, relocation assistance, and much more. Beyond compensation, there are a few things that we believe make working at Peerlist truly unique:

• Autonomy: We have very few meetings. 15-min daily sync and a weekly sync on Friday to plan the next week. We think your time is sacred.

• Ownership: We’re a company with a high ownership, high autonomy culture. We hope that you’ll come in, help us, and over the course of many years do the best work of your life. When we bring you onboard, we expect you to change the company.

• Novel problems/solutions: We’re a startup that’s well funded, with cool problems, which lets us implement novel solutions! We abhor “busywork” and think, whether it’s community, engineering, operations, etc., there’s always an opportunity for creative and high leverage solutions.

• Growth: We want you to grow with us, but we know that talent is loaned, so when you figure out what area you want to grow in next, whether it’s at Peerlist or outside, we’ll make sure you land there.
