Metabase is hiring a Remote Frontend Software Engineer
We built Metabase because existing tools for business intelligence didnโt feel like things we wanted to use. We wanted faster, simpler ways to ask questions about data, and wanted to strip away the colder feel of most Enterprise software. Folks seemed to agree, and now Metabase is used daily by tens of thousands of companies to give people in all sorts of roles access to insights they wouldnโt have otherwise had. None of this could happen without our user interface and thatโs where you come in. Weโre looking for someone with strong product sensibilities, extraordinarily good frontend skills, and solid software engineering fundamentals to join our team to advance the state of the art in our product and our industry.\n\n*Why choose Metabase*\n- The problems we face are genuinely interesting and arenโt trivial. Data influences so much of our world but isnโt that easy to interact with or understand. Youโll make tools that people rely on for their real jobs.\n- Youโll get to work in open source and get feedback directly from users and customers out in the open.\n- The company is growing and so is the business. Weโre adding new remote team members from around the world and improving our processes. Itโs an exciting time and you can really have an impact on how things work here.\n- Weโve tried to design our work environment to fit into real life. Work is only one part of who you are, so we emphasize reasonable workdays and prefer planning and avoiding panic. People at Metabase have families, dogs, plants, and lives outside of work and we try to support that however we can.\\n\n*What weโre looking for*:\n- You **care about crafting delightful user experiences**. You like to write code to enable people to do something and you understand that details and things like copy matter. If your focus is only on code this might not be the best role for you.\n- Prior **experience shipping non-trivial apps using React + Redux (or equivalent)**. Our front end is written in React (surprise!), so youโll need really strong React and JavaScript knowledge to build fast and thoughtful user interfaces.\n- You have experience **writing tests, giving good feedback on other peopleโs code**, and writing proposals for more complicated problems that are thoughtful and clear. As weโre a remote company (even outside of pandemics) **communication and clarity are really important**.\n- Due to the nature of what we work on, computer science-y problems come up frequently. Weโre not picky about a specific degree or accolade, but youโll be expected to **write fast and performant code** and deal with a fair bit of **data structure manipulation** regularly.\n- We like everyone to care about the nuts and bolts of how to make things look good, so youโll be expected to use our style guide and if necessary write or update our CSS, **so comfort in CSS and familiarity with things like design systems and component libraries is a necessity**.\n- Youโve worked on a large and complex JavaScript project. Metabase is a big product and code base so the **ability to adapt existing code and integrate new code into established systems** is important and you should feel comfortable digging in.\n\n*Not essential, but nice to have*:\n- Knowledge and prior experience with data visualization (especially if it has involved dc.js and d3.js).\n- Previous contributions to open source (not a requirement, but a huge plus).\n- Either pre-existing knowledge or interest in learning some Clojure, the language much of the backend of our application is written in.\n\n*The types of problems you'd get to work on*:\n- Lightning fast interaction with data. Think things like letting people see all the orders that came in from a specific region by clicking directly on a custom map of their sales regions and then letting them filter that list visually by directly interacting with the data table - and all of this happening in a responsive and delightful way.\n- Augmenting visualizations. To allow for people to further institutional knowledge, build the feature to allow annotations directly on specific data points in a line chart, and then determine how to expose those when it makes sense across dashboards and the entire app.\n- Wayfinding. We want to make sure people donโt have to do work thatโs already been done, so build new ways to surface important metrics or segments to the right users across Metabase.\n- Embedded analytics. We have customers who deliver analytics to their own users via our embed product. Youโd get to tackle the problem of making sure those can match their own products visually and enable easier integration of the embeds into their own code. \n\nPlease mention the words **RURAL CULTURE FIBER** when applying to show you read the job post completely (#RMy4yMy4xMDEuNjA=).

๐ Please reference you found the job on Remote OK, this helps us get more companies to post here, thanks!
When applying for jobs, you should NEVER have to pay to apply. You should also NEVER have to pay to buy equipment which they then pay you back for later. Also never pay for trainings you have to do. Those are scams! NEVER PAY FOR ANYTHING! Posts that link to pages with "how to work online" are also scams. Don't use them or pay for them. Also always verify you're actually talking to the company in the job post and not an imposter. A good idea is to check the domain name for the site/email and see if it's the actual company's main domain name. Scams in remote work are rampant, be careful! Read more to avoid scams. When clicking on the button to apply above, you will leave Remote OK and go to the job application page for that company outside this site.
